15. Don't know what all you're including when you say MSM, but MSNBC is covering it!

When people say MSM, I never know if they're including MSNBC in that or not. (Some people do, some don't.) But I just thought I'd mention that. 😁

28. I think it depends if the commentator is in favor of the segment/presenter or not....

14. Good news

[Buddyzbuddy]

16. Will Schumer be joing them for the duration?

[nilram]

21. Yes. And Fetterman.

[Alice Kramden]

17. Exactly what we need

Kudos to them

18. Thank you, Senators! Nt

19. They should do

Tag teaming instead of at the same time. One after the other and just keep the floor forever.

20. Last time Murphy was on the floor was for 15 hours.

Booker and Murphy are the light in the darkness.

22. I don't mean to sound critical, but why is this being done at night? n/t

[dickthegrouch]

27. Because Republicans don't earn overtime for more than 8 hours of 'work' a day!

You think I'm kidding?
Just as they wouldn't want any lackey to work for time and a half, they won't work extra because they aren't compensated for their extra time.
Never mind that many only 'work' for 2 hours a day as it is, the rest of the day is glad handing and extorting seeking bribes campaign funds.

23. Leaders lead.

Schumer doesn’t.

24. Cory Booker has been amazing...

Hitting America’s sweet spots…

Thoughtful… empathetic… energetic… Let’s hope he can keep it up, inflicting a thousand cuts on the Krasnov regime…

His love + vision for America’s dream is balm for our weary hearts as is his care + concern for America’s hurting… I appreciate that he is calling out the fear + anxiety + offering hope…

One point he has not taken far enough — Krasnov’s move to tear down American institutions + agencies — cutting costs — w/ no, none, nada — plan to replace services Americans have come to depend.

Senator Booker — They have NO REPLACEMENT PLAN… Tell the World… Remind Americans… Call out the opposition…

What Krasnov is destroying cannot be purchased — or supplemented by tariffs or tax credits… Faith, hope, love, respect, dignity, pride, self- reliance, independence, community, environment, knowledge + so much more…

Thank you for your service to America in these dark + troubled times, Sen Booker…

25. Maybe Chris Murphy is stepping up - to step in?

Couple he be lining himself up to carry forward what Cory Booker started?

[CTyankee]

29. I wonder about that, too. But he is a white male and our party is devoted to dei so I dunno.

26. Both Wonkette and Steve Schmidt

recognized Booker this morning (Neither mentioned Murphy, but that may come.) I noted that because, though both are on are side in this battle, they are not always on the same side in other matters (some of that may of course, be style - theirs are very different.) I'm delighted Murphy is getting in, and hoping for more.
