Cory Booker at the moment filibustering at the senate as a protest against the whole trump administration . He is speaking for as long as he is physically able too, as stated by him in the CSPAN clip, https://www.c-span.org/clip/us-senate/sen-cory-booker-d-nj-starts-speaking-in-senate-for-as-long-as-i-am-physically-able/5158775

Here is an article that states why he is on the senate floor if you need clarification https://www.cnn.com/2025/03/31/politics/booker-senate-floor-speech-trump-protest/index.html

    Not blocking any votes with this. It is the image of resistance without actually resisting anything.

    This is not what we need. This is not helping.

      This is bringing hope to millions of people and setting the precedent of democrats actually resisting. It’s changing what is normal and energizing others to do their own good work, to get into their own ‘good trouble’. It’s doing a lot of fucking good. What the fuck are you doing?

        Protesting locally.

        This would have been better timed to block the continuing resolution. As it is, it is hollow. For all the Dems that love symbolism without caring about efficacy, have fun. The GOP simply ignores this shit.

      No senate business can take place because of this even though it’s technically not a filibuster of a specific bill. The senate was suppose to open under normal operation at noon EST, but he’s still speaking as of me writing this comment
