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.
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.
I thought his dad killed JFK
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
Are we sure his dad didn’t have any questionable tattoos?
Isn’t leaving Cuba basically also running from your problems?
Apples and oranges.
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.”
He’s whatever he needs to be, depending on who he’s speaking to.
Everything, especially the assholes, is bigger in Texas.
