This man will go down in history as a champion. Where the hell were the Republicans during Mr. Booker's oratory? Trembling in their beds? He filled the minutes and the hours with truths and history and blinding visions of what our democracy means to him. What it should mean for all of us. Let's get out there on the streets this Saturday and demand the removal of these freaks in office.
It is in the stories we tell that we find out who we are, and when the history books are written (and they will be), we will remember his name along with a few others. I only got to listen to about two hours around hour ten or so , but his speech was impassioned showing he deeply cares. Someone said this is no longer about left or right, it’s about right and wrong. And I agree. Mr. Booker told stories about real people, living real lives. No tone deaf comments here. The people who voted for him should be proud. Makes me wish I was from New Jersey because what I see is that he stood UP.

Every word that I've heard has real substance and truth. This is a full call unending action until we end this horrible administration.
Proud to call him my Senator! NJ proud 👏👏
Me, too!
Same here!

Long live Cory Booker's fantastic spirit, The American Spirit!
Cory Booker is a freaking hero. Just sent him money so he can keep fighting for us.
Cory Booker stands head and shoulders above his Democrat Senate colleagues. Kudos to him for his eloquence and leadership.
A spirited analysis of Senator Booker's passionate pitch for democracy and decency!
This is a beautifully written report about an amazing event. So glad I found Closer to the Edge.
A hero, unlike Schumer. Sorry, Chuck. Trump is running roughshod regardless of govt shutdown or not.
Thank you, Cory.
he is still speaking
It confused me that this piece reads as though he is finished.
That was a mistake on our writer's part. We have since corrected the record to indicate that Cory is still speaking. Go Cory!
Me too....should have posted this after he FINISHED and had the record....why the hurry to post before he was finished?
Thank you Senator Booker for speaking for the shameful silent! Stayed standing while others remained seated. Thank you
This is the most beautiful account of the most hopeful thing that’s happened in these hellish times. Thank you.
Thank you, Cory Booker. You stand tall for democracy!
This has me in tears…
Thank you to Cory Booker and thank you Closer to the Edge for your truth telling - a beacon of light in some dark woods✨💜
Bravo, Senator Booker!
