The two traditional American political parties have been replaced with a Schmittian Liberal Party (formerly Democrat) that's great at giving speeches and an equally Schmittian Democratic Party (formerly Republican) that glories in the deciding things. Neither are good at listening.

Thank you, Senator Booker! We need more Democrats prepared to fight for us. Democracy is at risk. Furthermore, MAGA is a cult. Therefore, Republicans who continue to support Trump are complicit and collaborators in this harsh nightmare of dictatorship.

This is exactly what Democrats need to be doing. Say out loud that Trump’s policies are illegal, immoral, and injurious. This is not a normal administration and traditional politics aren’t enough. Make a huge freaking show of it. Make him own the consequences of his actions. Fight back.

Thank you!!! Yes our country is in crisis!! Whatever it takes to get their attention!! I applaud you!!👏👏Be our voice loud & strong!! For we are the American people that he swore to represent and that’s not happening!!

Honestly… this looks F’N STUPID in shadow of Chuck Schumer and 9 most senior democrats voting for Trump’s CR.. that Trump THANKED Schumer for getting passed for him! All without SENATOR Booker vehemently protesting! 🤦🏽‍♂️ You look like a damn fool bro!! …go hold Bernie & AOC’s beer.. they HAVE A CLUE!

The longest filibuster record: 24 Hours and 18 Minutes. Strom Thurmond filibustered the Civil Rights Act of 1957. He failed, it passed. Today Booker stands on the right side of history and it using the filibuster to FIGHT BACK! LETS GOOOOO!!

Normally in a speech like this, you filibuster with some nonsense just to keep the floor. But with the Orange One, I'm not sure you could continue listing his stupidity and nonsense and not run out if you spoke for a straight year! #impeachtrump

Cory Booker is truly setting the stage for a marathon! It's not just the endurance of his speech that's impressive, but the commitment to stand firm against the administration's actions. Here’s hoping the Senate coffee supply holds up! What issues is he tackling today?
