And he has an attribute that none of the republicans have: empathy.

He once ran into a burning building to save someone.

I understand Senator Chris Murphy is now backing him up? Good for him too.

I heard him on tape saying that empathy destroys democracy because countries like the US bring in immigrants who are detrimental to the society and democratic system of government.

So, the next person that we deport should be Mr. Musk, the immigrant foreigner from South Africa

Now, lets get a dozen more Dem Senators to speak!

a true American man's Senate speech record. You have to like that too.

yes INDEED

You've been bested, Strom-baby!

that he's running for President. Own the news cycle for the next month. Spotlight all the crap. Never stop talking. Make Good Trouble.

Cory sacrificed for all of us!

Thank you Sen. Booker!! Keep it comin'!! Thank you for standing up for us!!

and he's still going!

from the great state of New Jersey. Get that man on the 2028 ballot! Thank you Corey! My senator!

Brings tears to my eyes

to be called United States Senator.

What a boost for the demonstrations on Saturday
Bravo!

I'm never sure how to pronounce it in English. Can never remember which syllable to put the accent on.

THANK YOU!

Now - - GO GET SOME SLEEP.

Then he will get some sleep 😀

Booker ends his record speech in a mighty blaze!
Cory Booker's final words after 25 hours on the floor...

“I don’t know how to solve this, I don’t know how to stop us from going down this road,” Booker concluded. “But I know who does have the power. The people of the United States of America. The power of the people is greater than the people in power.”

“Let’s get in good trouble,” Booker ended, referencing his mentor the late congressman John Lewis.

I love this man.

That was bold leadership, a message of opposition and of hope that we needed to hear.

You are an inspiration. Now let us all go make some "good trouble"!

of humanistic, democratic and inspiring speech today, DJT has the record of the most hours spent by any American official spewing a mixture lies, racism, venom and meaningless babble.

Now go re-hydrate!

His favorite wine!

for showing all of us what speaking truth to power and exposing trump and repukes for what they are- destructive cowards who don't give a rat's ass for any of us.

We are all in your debt.

Followed up with letters to both my R Senators that basically said "Be like Cory".

is he still going? Keep pushing!!

By example.

Repeat again and again.

What an effort to speak common sense to our citizens.

Thank you sir.

Well done, sir. And thank you!

.

Thank you, from the bottom of my heart! ❤️

WOW, what an IMPRESSIVE feat!!

Can I adopt you?? I don't have any Senators--I have Hawlin' Hawley and Eric Schmitt-for-Brains

I salute Senator Cory Booker.

Senator Booker

but if it is the final hurrah no one could have done it better.

I would feel so emotional about this. I was applauding in my living room. I was having sympathy foot pain! I was in tears during parts of his speech, the letters he read or referenced, and when he sounded like he wasn't going to be able to go on.

He is so gracious, so strong, so smart. I appreciate what he has done.

but he's my favorite for today!

Now, I think I love him. If he runs for president again in 2028, I have some ideas on a slogan.

Cory Booker. I'm not done yet.

Cory Booker. America is still standing and so am I.

👏🏼👏🏼
You came through in a tremendously inspiring way at a time our nation needed your moral clarity and resolve and leadership! And we are eternally grateful! 🙌🏼And we shall indeed follow your courageous lead and get in some good trouble! ✊🏼

Thank you, Sen. Booker! Your efforts for the past 25 hours have been inspirational!

Much love to Sen Booker

Senator Booker

And he could live wherever he wants. A real man of the people.

Cory Booker is my hero!

job well done, sir...rejoin the fight after you've rested...I did too many 36-48 hour days at sea and know well, what you're feeling like...thank you sir...cheers, OSD

Thanks, Thank YOU

Thank you, thank you, thank you, Senator Cory Booker.
Yes indeed — it’s time for good trouble. Necessary trouble.

Lawrence's last word of Cory in tears talking about fighting for our SS. I am a grown ass man, a veteran, always been a bit tough. But damn if my eyes did not tear up with pride and finally a sign of hope from his passion to promise to help us. Been a long time to have seen one of ours that passionate for us.
A damn good night, this is. Way past due. So needed.
Fuck you ELUMP!!!!!!!!!

Lead the way, Cory. We're right behind you.

Cuz nobody can catch you.

Cory Booker #81 dwarfs John Lynch #17

With all the good qualities of a leader.

You’ve done an outstanding job and appreciate your sacrifice. Please get some rest so you can continue your mission!

His generation is our future. Go Cory!

So proud he's my Senator!!!!! And the other one, Andy Kim, cleaned up after the insurrectionists left a mess at the Capitol in Jan 6. Go NJ!!!!!

Stay Strong!!

This is a wonderful start. Now I hope more of our elected officials follow suit and grow their own backbones and actively join the resistance.

Our senators should be jostling to be next at the podium. It doesn't need to be 25 hours but they all need to do something.

Dear Senator Booker,
You are a real hero!

Thank you, Senator Booker.

I have so much respect for him for doing this.

Thanks, Mr. Booker! I hope more Dems follow your example.

I'm not one of his constituents but it did my heart great to tell his staffer that I was truly grateful for his statemanlike presentation.

You just gave me a terrific idea for an ask! We offer three of ‘em every week in the “Call to Action” email my Indivisible group sends out to our members. I write for it and help edit every week.

This “ask” may be the lead one of the upcoming week!

And lights the place up!!!!!

I would like to see Cory Booker run for President some day. Maybe he can team up with Pete Buddigieg?

Senator Booker: YOU ROCK! Thanks so much!

Thank you for DOING something

And inspiring.

⏰!

Truthful, courageous and inspiring, you stand by and for all Americans.

that didn’t need an adult diaper, unlike Donvict!

Now let's get this momentum going
