www.booker.senate.govCory Booker’s Long Speech: By the Numbers | U.S. Senator Cory Booker of New Jersey<p><strong>WASHINGTON, D.C. –</strong> U.S. Senator Cory Booker (D-NJ) held the Senate floor with a marathon speech that began at 7pm ET Monday evening and lasted until Tuesday night. After 25 hours and 5 minutes speaking directly to the American people, Senator Booker broke the record for longest individual floor speech ever delivered, surpassing the previous record set by Strom Thurmond of South Carolina, who filibustered for 24 hours and 18 minutes against the Civil Rights Act of 1957. </p>
<p>Yesterday, Senator Booker took to the Senate floor with the intention of speaking as long as he was physically able to uplift the stories of Americans who are being harmed by the Trump Administration’s reckless actions, attempts to undermine our institutions, and disregard for the rule of law.</p>
<p><strong><u>Here’s a look at Booker’s speech, by the numbers:</u></strong></p>
<ul>
<li>25 hours and 5 minutes: total length of Booker’s speech</li>
<li>1164 pages of prepared material</li>
<li>More than 200 stories from New Jerseyans and Americans across the country shared in the speech</li>
<li>350 million-plus likes on @SenatorBooker’s TikTok livestream of the speech</li>
<li>More than 28,000 voicemails of encouragement left on Senator Booker’s main office line</li>

Parece que la maratón de 25 horas del Senador Cort Booker fue interesante.
Usó todo ese tiempo para armar su caso contra las políticas de Trump. Excepto un breve periodo de dos horas donde explicó con suficientes detalles cómo conoció a su señora esposa.
Aparentemente cuando hacen esas cosas llenan el tiempo cantando o leyendo un libro.
El Senador Booker usó su tiempo para hablar de política.
Me dio curiosidad por escuchar que dijo. El discurso por supuesto está grabado en la televisión del congreso así que lo voy a escuchar.
The same people who have been whining that The Democrats Aren't Doing Anything are now whining when ... #Democrats do something.
"Corey [sic] #Booker's filibuster was performative nonsense."
"we knew it was BS when #Schumer was gushing about it lol"
Well, those were two easy blocks.
1/4 People are celebrating #Booker &the great #filibuster caper. That's fine. They're desperate for a hero w Schumer asleep at the wheel or rather driving drunk under the influence of #Zionist #fascism.
Did the record deserve to be broken and held by anyone other than a segregationist? Sure.
Please understand that ICE disappearing legal residents is directly related to #Zionism, to which Booker & many in Congress pledge allegiance with every vote & dollar every day.

@GW Big day for democracy in the #US and, by extension, the world. Cory #Booker's historic, record-breaking 24 hr + senate speech and #susancrawford's win. We need you guys to keep the pressure on, esp on #april5

Yeah a lot of reactions need training again, and its one of the things Cory accomplished. So glad it was so widely watched. We need people to be inspired.
Thank you Senator Booker.
Hat off.
I’m waiting for someone on Fox News or some other rw outlet to claim that #Booker didn’t actually break Thurmond’s record because of some technicality they’ve made up.

Time for #Schumer to fuck off
...I mean, how could he show up to work tomorrow with any of the sick dignity he puts so much stock in.
Mr.
Booker

25 hours and still kicking ass 
Hey, I hope you all are just caught up in watching this, because you're being unusually silent about it. "It's not a left/right issue, it's a right/wrong issue."
#booker #filibuster #uspol
The thing you should know about Sen. Cory #Booker is that he's probably the NICEST guy in the Senate. Just a really great dude. (Sen. Sherrod Brown and Sen. Bob Casey were also super nice, but sadly both gone.)

>> 24+ hours and #CoryBooker is still more coherent than #Trump has ever been… Wish he was blocking some actual legislation…
@vij mentioned #Booker is filibustering the nomination of #HarmeetDhillon, aka @pnjaban.
For those who don't know, or might have forgotten, #Dhillon is the #immigrant turned #MAGA citizen who was among the first to instinctively tweet the #CoupKluxKlan to stop cooperating with #DOJ when #Russia #disinformation op was uncovered.
Sen. #Booker now decrying cuts to NIH funding, repeating the oft-cited statistic that $1 in basic biomedical research funding leads to $5 in economic gains.
Compares the decimation of US research to Chinese cultural revolution.
