I listened to not all of his talk but a good deal of it off and on and he makes a great deal of sense and he is my hero and I am glad that he broke Thurmand's record

Great, Schumer needs to step aside

So proud that Booker stood up to this horrific administration and hope it will push others to do the same. And as said, the bonus, a man of color broke Thurmond's record. What could be better. New Jersey should be very proud of their Senator.

You ENERGIZED the Resistance.

Fantastic, Sen. Booker! Well done. You set a model of bringing intelligent energy to the outrage that so many in the USA are feeling. I hope other lawmakers are emboldened to speak up by this.

Thank you!

There isn't one good reason that the Dems. don't filibuster every one of the fascist GOP's bills to take away from the poor to give to the rich. They just keep screwing up by trying to "play nice." Playing nice is not working. What Cory Booker did was to show them how it's done. The Woke weren't as Woke as we hoped they'd be.

A great example! But, my question is, can other Senators and Congressmen

do this? Continuing the same message until ALL Americans wake up to the dangers in front of us? He had nearly 3M views and lots of press……

I'm not sure but I believe the filibuster is only done in the Senate, but I agree that our side of the Senate should definitely be doing more of this.

I called his office today, and amazingly I was asked if I wanted to leave a message or speak to one of his aids. That's amazing in itself, because when I call my Rep. or Senator, I'm lucky to be able to leave a message. I usually get, "Sorry, the mailbox is full." Both Senators and my representative are Republicants. I left a message to thank him and to tell him what a great job he did over those 2 days. I also told him that I didn't think even Obama could have done as good a job at covering everything that needed to be said and that I thought he should run for president.

Republicans keep saying that everyone up North is moving to the red states down South. And I keep saying they ain't moving' here because of the politics. They are moving here to get out of 8 months of snow and ice. And Democrats are among them which means they may not be a red state for much longer.
