1. Impressive! We need the imagery consistent w/ this 1000 alarm fire.

Mr. Dahlia and I just said - we can stand with him, by donating a few bucks at this time.

[malaise]

2. Better link

[canetoad]

15. Just came to post this

Can't get Cspan to play. Thank sister.

[malaise]

16. He's still. Speaking

[malaise]

Kick

[yellow dahlia]

41. I watched Sen. Booker until past 1:OO am, and then went to sleep,

and then after I got a night's sleep, he is still going.

There was a moment at about 1:00 am where he hit a crescendo. He was on fire and giving voice to how insane this moment is. "This is not normal!!!", was the refrain. I will try and find that portion and clip it from C-Span. It had me in tears.

[malaise]

43. I fell asleep but left him on - woke up around 3.00am

And have watched most of it
Coffee dukes today😀

3. The stories he's reading are heartbreaking.

Thanks to him for speaking out! We need so much more than we’re getting.

[malaise]

33. Not yet

Will Cory go on beyond noon?

[HereForTheParty]

4. Can other Democrats tag in?

Line 'em up.

[malaise]

5. From Politico

Other Democratic senators are expected to join him on the floor throughout his planned talk-a-thon.

I wish he’d stop this bipartisan approach and tear into these traitors

[senseandsensibility]

8. Is he being bipartisan?

Love what he's doing, but that's not a good strategy. I read on another thread that Chris Murphy joined him and I don't think he'll hold back.

[malaise]

9. He was trying but admitted that it's the Democratic and ReTHUG voters who are upset

not the ReTHUG reps

[malaise]

21. Dick Durbin asking a question now

I would like to see evert DemocraticSenator in the Senate

[orleans]

7. k&r!!! nt

[malaise]

10. I suspect he will outlast me tonight

Important. I wish we could get folks to watch😀

[ancianita]

11. I'll keep the live feeds on whether I'm sleeping or not.

Just so he gets the numbers. Thanks.

[malaise]

22. Lovely to see Senate Dems

Filling up the chamber

[ancianita]

13. Sen. Booker looks like the one we've waited for -- on the Democratic national ticket in 2028.

Of course he'd be a great presidential contender, but even better, Sen Booker would be a great VP on the ticket because he would preside over the Senate with people who will have known and respected him.

Moreover, how could Cory not bring Republican voters on board in 2028 when he has laid out everything the gentleman patriot John McCain said about the Senate.

[róisín_dubh]

44. My ex-SIL and MIL voted for him...

They are republicans, but not of the Trumpian sort. They love Sen Booker

46. When I started this thread last night nothing in my wildest imagination led

me to believe that he would break that racist’s record.
That he gave so much credit to John Lewis and to a lesser Jimmy Carter was special.
