  1. “Sir, this lacks decency,” said Sen #CoryBooker, a NJ Democrat, his voice raised & visibly agitated. “It lacks decorum. It shows that you do not want to simply hear from your colleagues. This is absolutely wrong!”

    Grassley ignored him & plowed on. In a voice vote, committee #Republicans voted to confirm #EmilBove, 44, to a lifetime appointment on the United States Court of Appeals for the #ThirdCircuit, which encompasses #Pennsylvania, #NewJersey & #Delaware.

  2. 1/2🧵: #CoryBooker #filibuster now the longest in history, beating *that guy* who opposed the #civilrights Act in 1957. Booker talking more than 24h on the #Senate floor, not just filling space but doing so eloquently. I thought it was interesting he had just mentioned Congressman John Lewis forgiving the unforgivable (a white man who'd viciously assaulted him) when #ChuckShumer took the floor to try and steal some of Booker's shine by being the one announcing the record. m.youtube.com/watch?v=v2utlMxA

  3. Senator Cory Booker has held the Senate floor for over 14 hours now.

    “He didn’t tell us he was going to do all these things. He promised to lower your grocery prices—they’re higher. He promised, “I’ll be a better steward of the economy”—it’s worse than when he inherited it. Over and over, he’s breaking promises and doing outrageous things.”

    Hold the line. Thank you Senator Booker
