Thank you, @booker.senate.gov for being a voice for so many.

America hears you and America is behind you.

And my colleagues on the other side of the aisle would be wise to take note.

The rest of the country certainly has. Tens of millions have tuned in to hear Senator Booker.
UPDATE: Sen. Cory Booker has been speaking for more than 18 hours.

It's now the fifth longest floor speech in the history of the Senate, according to MSNBC.
Sen. Cory Booker has been speaking on the Senate floor for more than 13 hours — taking aim at Trump, Musk, and America's 'moral moment'.

Just after hitting the 12-hour mark, Booker said, "I am standing here because of a national crisis that is growing."

As one of the 8M, thank you, @murray.senate.gov!
When I cast my vote, I’m representing the nearly 8 million people in Washington state.

In this democracy their voices count for something—so you better believe I am not handing over my vote in exchange for nothing.

I am voting NO on the House Republicans' slush fund CR.

Here’s something important to know about all of the Republicans who are clapping as Trump attacks Social Security: All of them will be returning to their states and districts next week for congressional recess.

Start planning to hold them accountable now: indivisible.org/muskorus

I agree with Donald Trump that an unelected bureaucrat should be fired.

Let’s start with Elon Musk.

Trump didn't win 50% of the popular vote.

The GOP has slim margins in both the House and Senate.

His approval ratings are tanking.

He does not have a mandate.

Do not let him gaslight you into believing he is all powerful.

He's not.

DOGE has seized access to huge troves of sensitive personal and national security information – and can’t even set up its own website securely.

When DOGE fails to protect that data, it puts us all in danger.

@repstansbury.bsky.social, @connolly.house.gov and I are pushing back.

Day 1 on the left. Day 2 on the right.

Don't let anyone tell you that pushback is pointless.

Spending isn't a “conspiracy” just because Musk doesn’t know how to read usaspending.gov.

A program isn't waste just because it doesn’t help the richest man in the world.

It isn't fraud just because he doesn’t like it.

A law is not illegal just because he disagrees with it.

Musk and co are doing their best to destroy the federal government and the scale and velocity feel overwhelming. Don’t give into that feeling, that is what they want.
