I stand with Senator Booker's marathon speech to bring attention to the concerning policies and actions of the Trump-DOGE-Musk administration. His 19-hour and ongoing protest on the Senate floor demonstrates an unwavering commitment to advocating for the American people. From healthcare and Social Security to immigration and public education, Senator Booker has covered a wide range of crucial issues that this administration's agenda threatens. He has given voice to affected constituents by reading their letters and highlighting the real-world impacts of these policies. This is not politics as usual - Senator Booker recognizes the urgency and crisis at hand. Remaining on his feet to speak continuously for over 19 hours is an incredible display of fortitude. His colleagues from across the aisle have praised his crystalline brilliance in exposing the huge dangers facing Americans. While his speech may not break the longest filibuster record, it is still a powerful act of resistance against policies that disregard the rule of law, our democratic foundations, and any sense of common decency. I urge representatives to heed Senator Booker's call and do more to push back against this administration's harmful agenda. His dedication to doing "good trouble," as John Lewis said, should inspire Congress to take bold action to protect the needs of the people over profits. The issues he has raised demand an urgent response befitting these not normal times. Join Senator Booker's courageous marathon speech defending American values by approving additional speaking time on the Senate floor. His principled stand shines a light on the Trump administration's injurious policies imperiling human rights, healthcare access, economic security and the very foundations of democracy. Booker's continuous oration exposes the urgent need for legislative counterweights against an administration showing contempt for the Constitution and rule of law. Support extending his speaking privilege to sustain this clarion call for accountability and systemic reforms that prioritize people over unchecked executive power. Rally behind Booker's efforts to elevate the voices of the marginalized against further erosion of long-cherished freedoms and equities.
