Democrat Senator Cory Booker from New Jersey has taken to the Senate floor in a lengthy tirade against President Trump and Elon Musk, which has astonishingly continued for over 24 hours as of Tuesday afternoon. His fervent speech began on Monday evening, and he remains steadfast in his criticism.
In a pledge to speak “for as long as I am physically able,” Booker launched into his marathon session on Monday night. His aim is clear: to voice his opposition and disrupt the usual proceedings of the United States Senate during these, what he calls, “not normal times.”
Cory Booker goes OFF on Trump in the 17th hour of his filibuster: “He promised to lower your grocery prices – they’re higher. Over and over he’s breaking promises and doing outrageous things like disappearing people off American streets. Do we see what’s happening?”

Senator Booker emphasized the urgency of the situation, stating, “I rise tonight with the intention of disrupting the normal business of the United States Senate for as long as I am physically able.” He argued that these are critical times, with threats against both the American people and democracy itself.
Booker’s extensive speech, now a full day long, reflects his deep concerns over the current administration’s actions. He stressed, “Generations from now will look back at this moment and have a single question — where were you? When our country was in crisis…did we speak up?”
He took aim at issues like skyrocketing grocery prices, a plummeting stock market, and the overall well-being of Americans, especially highlighting the plight of the 73 million seniors depending on Social Security.
