Reblogged
New Jersey Senator Cory Booker has spoken on the Senate floor for a total 20 hours and counting (he is still speaking) during his marathon filibuster to challenge the Trump administration and their unlawful tactics. This is what he had to say on the state of the Democratic Party
“I confess that I have been imperfect. I confess that I've been inadequate to the moment. I confess that the Democratic Party has made terrible mistakes that gave a lane to this demagogue. I confess we all must look in the mirror and say 'we will do better.” - Senator Booker

"Booker began speaking on the Senate floor at 7 p.m. Monday evening to protest President Donald Trump's policies.
At 7:19 p.m. on Tuesday, Booker broke Thurmond's record of 24 hours and 18 minutes, which he made while speaking against the Civil Rights Act of 1957, the first major civil rights bill since Reconstruction."
"Booker said that he decided to undertake the marathon speech because Democrats have a "responsibility" to "do something different" in the face of the unprecedented changes taking place in the first few months of Trump's second term as president.
"I've been hearing from people all over my state and indeed all over the nation calling upon folks in Congress to do more," Booker said in a video posted to X before taking to the floor. "To do things that recognize the urgency, the crisis of the moment."
Booker said he plans to speak for as long as he is "physically able to." He cannot sit or leave the Senate floor for a bathroom break; otherwise, he would lose his right to hold the floor. If he doesn't leave or sit down, no senator can stop him."
That’s my senator! 🫶

A journalist interviews a farmer: “if you have two bungalows, are you willing to give one to the country?” The farmer, without hesitation, “sure! For communism!”
Journalist: “if you have two tractors, will you give one to the country?” Farmer: “of course! For the better development of our country!”
Journalist: “if you have two million bucks, will you give one million to the country?” Farmer: yes! For the livelihood of our comrades!”
Journalist: “if you have two cows, will you give one to the country?”
The farmer keeps silent and looking at the journalist, so the journalist has to ask again: “will you?”
The farmer answers firmly: “No”.
The journalist is confused: “you are so generous about money and houses and tractors, but why do you draw the line at cows?”
“Because”, says the farmer: “I do have two cows”.
