Summary

Senator Cory Booker’s speech on TikTok live surpassed 350 million likes as he stood for over 25 hours speaking in the Senate chamber.

Booker broke Strom Thurmond’s record for the longest Senate speech, which lasted 24 hours and 18 minutes in 1957 to block civil rights legislation.

    I wish people would quit saying this. It delayed the appointment of Matthew Whitaker as the ambassador of NATO for 25 hours

      25 hours of “we must resist this fascist takeover” only to immediately have multiple Democrats roll over and help confirm said fascist’s appointment nominee… Really kinda cuts out the knees from any hope that speech may have inspired.

      “You need to resist, because we won’t”
