I think that Filibusters are a great way to stop Trump nominees from getting appointed, or republican legislation from getting passed.
What is remarkable is that only a single senator participated in the filibuster, after he was done, they passed the nomination.
Plus #CoryBooker reportedly takes #Israeli #Pac money.
Liberals actually think that #CoryBooker speaking for 25 hours is "fighting Trump".
If this is your idea of "fighting", we're fucking doomed.
@Lefty Love the #CoryBooker sign — that’s my Senator!
@sidereal this such a perfect encapsulation of the Democrat party
Dax wants to know what you're doing for today's #HandsOff march? He reminds of #CoryBooker 's words, "The power of the people is greater than the people in power." Yup! But only if we exercise it!!!

"‘Liberation Day’ may have belonged to Trump, but Wisconsin voters offered their own declaration of independence on Wednesday – is it a sign of what’s to come?"

"The momentum is shifting. Wisconsin was a decisive win. Gaps in Florida’s US House districts are narrowing. And Democratic Senator Cory Booker just shattered segregationist Strom Thurmond’s record in congress with a 25-hour protest speech – a symbolic moment, but one that suggests renewed energy on the left."

"Authoritarians want us to feel hopeless and helpless. It’s up to us to show them that we will not submit quietly and that we believe in struggle and collective action. Like Sen. Booker, each one of us can do something, using the spaces and means we have, to meet this moment with the same resilient and resolute spirit he showed on the Senate floor."

Cory Booker has signed every funding bill for Israel's genocide, and is co-author of the bill criminalizing anyone protesting the genocide.
Booker is not a good man, and he will never 'save' American democracy.

I find Senator #CoryBooker and his actions uplifting. It’s important to find #joy in this moment as well, so I will share some personal news.
My son was accepted to five of the six colleges he applied to and has decided to go to #Rutgers University - New Brunswick in #NewJersey! The hub and I couldn’t be prouder of him.
This pic is from a Bar Mitzvah we went to in February.
A new #WillBunch piece in the #Inquirer puts into eloquent prose why those numbers cited in #CoryBooker’s press release matter and how it will motivate voters and electeds alike. Must-read via this gift link courtesy of my Inky sub. #Democracy #GoodTrouble #USpol
Booker’s message was powerful and simple: Just do something. Now it’s your turn
A senator's record-breaking speech showed #Democrats, and America, that silence is not an option in the #Trump era
If Will Bunch wrote it, you should read it.©
" #CoryBooker's naysayers - "well, actually not a filibuster," what does this do? - were long gone after 25 hours, 350 million TikTok likes, and the erasure of a segregationist
The real power of his message: Just do something! Saturday is YOUR chance"

‘Did you stand up?’: read part of Cory Booker’s blockbuster 25-hour speech | Cory Booker https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2025/apr/03/cory-booker-speech-transcript-excerpt #Trumpadministration #Trumptariffs #DonaldTrump #CoryBooker #USCongress #USpolitics #USSenate #USnews
5/5 Finally, a press release about the speech from #CoryBooker’s Senate website. The numbers are truly astounding — people who tuned in, liked on social media, and thank-you calls to Booker’s office.
As I said the other day: rank and file Dems and indie voters are hungry for this kind of leadership and action. Let’s hope Booker’s courage and fortitude prods other Dem electeds to follow suit.
