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

[soldierant]

61. Empathy indeed.

He once ran into a burning building to save someone.

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

[wnylib]

101. Haven't you heard? Musk has declared empathy undemocratic. And that's not sarcasm or hyperbole.

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

[SnoopDog]

4. Excellent!

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

[LiberalLoner]

5. 💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙

[applegrove]

6. And that racist's record (Strom Thurmond's) is erased and replaced by

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

[electric_blue68]

29. THAT is the icing on the cake! I was a teen, but I remember the bastard

[Skittles]

[Tumbulu]

26. Thank you sincerely Senator Booker!

[Jrose]

28. Copy of my earlier post...

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.

[Reported by Cecilia Nowell, The Guardian)
-------------------------------
I love this man.

[BadgerMom]

30. Thank you, Senator!

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

[electric_blue68]

31. Thank You, Sen and NJ Neighbor Cory Booker. You were steadfast, and heartfelt!

[StarryNite]

32. Thank you Cory!

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

[mahina]

33. Aloha Senator Booker!

[Jrose]

34. In contrast to Cory Booker's record 24+ hours

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.

[PennyC]

35. Thank you, Senator Booker!

Now go re-hydrate!

[spooky3]

36. I hope someone brings him a giant banana split or

His favorite wine!

[virgdem]

38. Thank you, Senator Booker

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.

[Greybnk48]

[NewLarry]

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

[swong19104]

56. Thank you

Senator Booker

[stillcool]

57. feels so emotional...like the end of something

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

[Ilsa]

58. Sen. Booker is the MAN! I must confess, I didn't think

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.

[Jack Valentino]

59. Booker '28 ?? I'm willing to hear his case---

but he's my favorite for today!

[Cinnamonspice]

62. I used to be indifferent to him.

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.

[benfranklin1776]

63. Thank you sir!

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! ✊🏼

[Docreed2003]

65. 💙💙💙

Much love to Sen Booker

[LudwigPastorius]

66. Thank you, Senator.

Your filibuster may not have actually stopped any Trump legislation or appointees, but just maybe it will quiet some of the "Democrats have no spines!" people for a while.

[rambler_american]

67. Thank you

Senator Booker

[The Wizard]

68. A Newark resident.

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

Cory Booker is my hero!

[OldSWODog]

75. ""

[Blue Owl]

76. A righteous move by Sen. Booker

[Traildogbob]

77. Just watched

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!!!!!!!!!

[BHDem53]

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.

[calimary]

107. THAT is a GREAT idea!

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!

[BobTheSubgenius]

97. Mr. Booker Goes To Washington!

And lights the place up!!!!!

[ancianita]

98. Twenty-five hours of Master Class in the Greatness of Government, Americans and the Constitution in our Hearts!

Thank you, future president Booker!

If Pres. Biden asked for your speech inputs, it's because Joe Biden knows your leadership potential!

[FakeNoose]

103. Yes, we saw his great progressive leadership yesterday, along with his empathy and passion
