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.
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.
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
They’ll clearly just send them to El Salvador regardless, so Canada will likely be spared.
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.
Apparently you haven’t heard, but now we just send people back to whichever country is convenient at the time
That’ll work just fine, although I would probably feel quite sorry for the people in the destination country.
“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.
