One of the most powerful Republican pollsters in the country says Cory Booker's record-breaking, 25-hour speech, "may have changed the course of political history...He gave Democrats a reason to fight. He gave them a reason to stand up and say, this is my country too."

Outlets like The Washington Post are reporting his powerful words in space that would otherwise have been filled with Trump's hate and vitriol:

"John Lewis and so many heroes before us would say that this is the time to stand up, to speak up. This is the time to get in some good trouble, to get into necessary trouble. I can’t allow this body to continue without doing something different, speaking out."

Cory Booker spoke yesterday for all of us.

He shared the stories of veterans who have lost their jobs. He gave voice to the millions of people terrified that they – and their children – will lose their health care and Social Security. Here are a few of the things he said:

"I rise tonight because I believe sincerely that our country is in crisis… These are not normal times in America, and they should not be treated as such."

"Social Security is not the government’s money to spend. It’s the hard-earned savings of working Americans that belongs to Americans. Trump and Musk need to keep their hands off of money that isn’t theirs to take."

"The Trump Administration and Republicans in Congress are putting profits over people. They are trying to gut Medicaid and Medicare, programs on which nearly a third of our country rely –– all to pay for tax cuts to billionaires and corporations."

"Have we once held this president to account? The most powerful man in the world and the richest man in the world have taken a battle axe to the veterans association, a battle axe to the department of education, a battle axe to the only agency solely focused on protecting consumers against big banks and others that might abuse them."
