We need more people like #CoryBooker. He's amazing true leader of all the people.
Are you fucking kidding me?

U.S. Sen. Cory Booker has broken the record for longest floor speech in the U.S. Senate's history as a demonstration of resistance towards the policies and actions of the Trump administration.
"That's what we need in our generation now. We need a dream to call the nation together...but as long as this is a democracy, we can say the power of the people is greater than the people in power."
The record previously belonged to Strom Thurmond, who filibustered against the Civil Rights Act of 1957.
Senator Adam Schiff has placed a hold on Trump’s nominee for U.S. Attorney for D.C. https://www.schiff.senate.gov/news/press-releases/statement-sen-schiff-announces-hold-on-d-c-u-s-attorney-nominee-ed-martin/
This is what Dem Senators could and should have been doing for every one of Trump’s horrible nominees. But I commend Schiff for stepping up now. 1/
@benroyce Sen. Booker would be a much better Minority Leader than Mummified Old Doormat Schumer...
ps:
#CoryBooker has about an hour left, and if he passes the threshold he will beat the record for a #filibuster in the #Senate
and who set the current record?
#StromTurmond the #racist ghoul trying to stop the #CivilRightsAct of 1957
there's a certain poetic justice to it all

watch Cory making history now, he's pausing, reaching to recall words, but he's still lucid and on point:

From now on it is a matter of tallying up who is a collaborator with an illegal president.
Remember, the most basic law of all of western society, one that has hundreds of years of history, was violated. They grabbed people in the US and put them in a prison that they believe makes their action beyond judicial review. They have admitted this was their intent in court.
Trump personally violated Habeas Corpus and people went along with it- everything started from there.
The Sentencing Council has backtracked on its decision to introduce “two-tier justice” rules, which would have advised courts to order a “pre-sentence report” for offenders from minority groups, says The Daily Telegraph. Justice Secretary Shabana Mahmood says the idea of “differential treatment” for minorities is “corrosive” and will today introduce legislation to block the guidance from ever being introduced.
@WarnerCrocker He’s still going strong. Other Democratic Senators are interjecting comments and questions for Senator Booker, but he is carrying the load. It’s live on C-SPAN, which I can’t get right now. There is also a YouTube livestream https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=v2utlMxAwtE
