So grateful to stick it to Musk.

Yeah! Just proves what The Beatles once sang: "Can't buy me love, love. . ."

Or in this case, can't buy me votes, votes. . . :)

It was a good day. They won’t always be good, but we earned today! Great work everyone!

So ... maybe it turns out that voters don't really like it when a billionaire who has no relation to their state tries to buy an election.

ArcticStones's avatar

Heck, that billionaire has no relation to the rest of the human race.

I'm in tears. I'm so overjoyed. Thank you, Simon, for giving us hope. Thank you, Mr. Booker for your dedication to democracy. Thank you to the Hopium community!!

Over. The. Moon. God? We needed this. And she beat him big. Take that, Musk.

Pretty wonderful. We did it together. We beat these greedy, ignorant, arrogant SOBs.

I watched the last 8 hours of Senator Cory Booker’s filibuster. If he could convince just a few Republican Senators to vote their conscience and not give in to threats from trump/musk it would be a miracle. Obviously people really detest musk!

The republicans don't have a conscience.

They are exhibiting a primal fear of their voters -- especially of appearing before them. My MAGA congressman is being hounded EACH and EVERY day to hold a live town hall. He can only run and hide for so long.

Musk and Trump are joined at the hip. You can't separate the two. Add in Putin and you have a toxic witch's brew indeed. Maybe that should be warlock.

The Space Nazi is Cheetolini’s emotional support oligarch.

I did as well. Made another sign for Saturday while listening!

Deborah Potter's avatar

Yes, it was a spectacular address from the Senate floor to save our democracy.

Note that it was not a filibuster, since there was no pending legislation being stalled.

We have found our leader!
