Summary
Sen. Cory Booker broke the all-time Senate filibuster record Tuesday with a 25-hour, 4-minute speech opposing proposed Social Security cuts by Elon Musk.
Booker criticized the broader Trump agenda and warned of threats to democracy.
Sen. Ted Cruz said he was thinking about triggering the alarm on the Senate floor to block the New Jersey Democrat from surpassing his marathon speech mark, then joked on X and posted a Homer Simpson meme.
Booker began speaking Monday at 7 p.m. and remained standing throughout, aided by Democratic colleagues who questioned him to allow brief breaks.
Lyin’ Ted, showing his love for Strom.
The beard won’t save you, Teddy. You’re still the:
Too bad Al Green ain’t in the Senate to cane your chucklefuck swarmy shitweasel ass.
That man ate my son
This man?
nose to broad, face to round, brows to big mouth too wide
You’re probably fun at parties
what’s the matter? did he make you look stoopid for not reading your favorite (and probably only,) book- Green Eggs and Ham??
Fuck ted cruz
I would say we should send him back to Canada, but they don’t deserve that.
I wish you the best Canada, with love. - US citizen
Wasn’t Ted of Cuban origin? Here’s to hoping he gets what he voted for.

Dad is from cuba not Mr “Run from my problems” Cruz.
It’s Cuban enough for a warm-hearted deportation by ICE right?
Like I said, I do not wish that upon Canada.
They’ll clearly just send them to El Salvador regardless, so Canada will likely be spared.
Dump him right on the border.
The border runs right through the middle of 4 of the 5 Great Lakes…
Ok, I’m listening.
He belongs in that floating island of plastic trash in the Pacific Ocean
I thought his dad killed JFK
Are we sure his dad didn’t have any questionable tattoos?
Isn’t leaving Cuba basically also running from your problems?
Apples and oranges.
He’s whatever he needs to be, depending on who he’s speaking to.
Apparently you haven’t heard, but now we just send people back to whichever country is convenient at the time
“I ain’t never heard of no Canada. Looks Salvadoran to me.”
That’ll work just fine, although I would probably feel quite sorry for the people in the destination country.
Everything, especially the assholes, is bigger in Texas.
I hope ted Cruz gets stuck on a toilet
I hope ted Cruz gets stuck
onin a toilet . ftfy
I know ted is a piece of shit, but that post, and literally everyone else’s response to it, including booker who referenced the post in the last 30 minutes before the record was broken, knew that it was a joke.
Ted tried it already and failed to hit the record. He knows how hard it is.
That was an assholes way of appreciating something, without admitting that he has respect for it.
For fucks sake.
Definitely the level of maturity that we need in our leaders 🙄
Little snowflake bitch
That would be a crime. I know, ® beats any consequences of doing illegal things.
Christ what a douche.
Should have done it, Rafael.
Better we find out DOGE cut funding for the emergency alarm maintenance now as opposed to there being an actual emergency.
Ted is such a soft toothed stinky mouth little bitch
How will he pull the alarm from his resort down in Mexico?
He will probably have his caddie’s chauffeur do it for him
Ted Cruz talked for 21 hours to advocate to defund the ACA

Hearing ted Cruz talk for more than 5 minutes would be the worst punishment someone could get, 21 hours? Fuck that
From the douche that read green eggs and ham in a filibuster.
i like ted cruz better than most of my senate colleagues do.
and i hate ted cruz.
