Oh no. Lol. Possibly the real reason for the stunt 25 hour filibuster stunt that didn't disrupt ANY trump legislation? He was trying to get out of this antitrust hearing after taking Big Tech $$.

Kristi Yamaguccimane on twitter:
wait is this real lmao

David Sirota:
Booker held a filibuster that wasn't a filibuster and he scheduked it to let him avoid attending his own committee's probe of his Big Tech pals.

The Lever
Cory's notable absence. Senate Democrats actually did their jobs and held Big Tech's feet to the fire. During an antitrust hearing on Capital Hill yesterday. Missing, however, was the subcommittee's very own ranking Democrat, Cory Booker, who curiously scheduled his 25 hour filibuster right in the middle of the big hearing. Booker proved to be a reliable ally to Silicon Valley afoter taking the Big Tech campaign cash.

@blogoklahoma All that just to trick folks into sending them $5 to "train democrats." Performative political theatre at its finest. He didn't even filibuster anything!

WHY HAS WIKIPEDIA NOT CHANGED THE DESCRIPTION OF STORM THURMAN’S RACIST FILIBUSTER AS THE 2ND LONGEST IN HISTORY?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strom_Thurmond_filibuster_of_the_Civil_Rights_Act_of_1957?wprov=sfla1

tell me this “posturing” and so-called not real #filibuster is not important?

there are 47 US Senators for the Democratic Party. fuckers need to take on where Cory left off and filibuster until all the thousands of workers and experts are re-instated and all the programs shut down brought back up and funded.

IF IT TAKES ALL YEAR THEN SO BE IT.

Cory Booker has more balls and integrity than any other living Democrat or Republican.
AOC, Sanders, Murray, Cantwell, Warren are all OK in my book, but no one else has stepped up against GOP fascism in any meaningful way.

I love it!  This morning I donated $25.05 to Cory Booker in honor of the 25 hours and five minutes he eloquently spoke!  
It was inspiring to watch Senator Booker doing something impactful to rally support against trump’s rapacious overreach & call out the Republicans’ passivity.  #corybooker #filibuster #senate #goodtrouble  you can donate at this link: secure.actblue.com/donate

Cory Booker breaks filibuster record—what's next for leadership? In a passionate 25-hour speech, he tackled pressing issues like job cuts and deportations while linking them to his family's history. This powerful display not only energized Democratic support, but positioned him as a key figure against rising authoritarianism. Will he transform this momentum into cohesive Democratic action?

Heather Cox Richardson “Not left or right, but right of wrong.” 4/1/2025

Heather Cox Richardson “Not left or right, but right of wrong.” “It is time to heed the words of the man | began this whole thing with: John Lewis. | beg folks to take his example of his early days when he made himself determined to show his love for his country at a time the country didn’t love him, to love this country so much, to be such a patriot that he endured beatings, savagely, on the Edmund Pettus bridge, at lunch counters, on freedom rides. He said he had to do something. He would not normalize a moment like this. He would not just go along with business as usual. He wouldn't know how to solve it, but there's one thing that he would do, that | hope we all can do, that | think | did a little bit of tonight.

“He said for us to go out and cause some good trouble, necessary trouble, to redeem the soul of our nation. | want you to redeem the dream.... Let's be bolder in America with a vision that inspires with hope. It starts with the people of the United States of America— that's how this country started: ‘We the people. Let's get back to the ideals that others are threatening, let's get back to our founding documents.... Those imperfect geniuses had some very special words at the end of the Declaration of Independence...when our founders said we must mutually pledge, pledge to each other ‘our lives, our fortunes, and our Sacred Honor! We need that now from all Americans. This is a moral moment. It's not left or right, it's right or wrong.

“Let's get in good trouble.

Heather Cox Richardson “We the People”3/1/2025

Throughout his speech, Booker emphasized the power of the American people. He told their stories and read their letters. And he urged them to stand up for the country. “In this democracy,” he said, “the power of people is greater than the people in power.”

He emphasized the power of the people by calling out South Carolina Senator Strom Thurmond, who until today held the record for the longest Senate speech: a filibuster he launched in 1957 to try to stop the passage of that year’s Civil Rights Act. Thurmond spoke for 24 hours and 18 minutes, but unlike Booker, who used his time to make a powerful and coherent case for reclaiming American democracy, Thurmond filled time with tactics like reading from an encyclopedia.

But, Booker noted, Thurmond'’s attempt to stop racial equality failed. After he ended his filibuster, Congress passed the Civil Rights Act of 1957, and Black Americans and their allies used it to demand the equal protection of the law, including the right to vote. “I'm not here...because of his speech,” Booker said. “I'm here despite his speech. I'm here because as powerful as he was, the people were more powerful.”

"This isn’t just poetic justice—it’s a political redemption. The same tactics once used to block civil rights are now being wielded to defend them.

The record for the longest speech in Senate history no longer belongs to a segregationist. It belongs to a Black man fighting for democracy."
