A lot of people assumed Corey Booker stopped talking after he broke the filibuster record but he's actually still going. At this moment he's explaining that we never would have had a Fast and the Furious franchise without the trailblazing Gone in 60 Seconds starring Nic Cage

I’m so disappointed. We need to hear from democratic leaders and that includes the Obama’s, Clinton’s, Harris, etc. we need them.
Under normal times, past Presidents have been reluctant to speak about the sitting President's actions and policies. It is a time honored tradition, good for democracy.
But American democracy is under attack.
I urge Clinton, Bush, Obama, and Biden to use their bully pulpits to denounced Trump.

I disagree.
They should attend. And the minute he starts speaking, start getting up, one-by-one, and solemnly leave the chamber.
It will be all anyone talks about the next day. And will drive Donald crazy.
