Cory Booker at the moment filibustering at the senate as a protest against the whole trump administration . He is speaking for as long as he is physically able too, as stated by him in the CSPAN clip, https://www.c-span.org/clip/us-senate/sen-cory-booker-d-nj-starts-speaking-in-senate-for-as-long-as-i-am-physically-able/5158775

Here is an article that states why he is on the senate floor if you need clarification https://www.cnn.com/2025/03/31/politics/booker-senate-floor-speech-trump-protest/index.html

    So what happens if the Senate wants to schedule a vote right now? He’s not preventing a specific bill, but they can’t really do anything until he gives up the floor. It’s not nothing.

      Yeah, the Senate doesn’t seem to publish plans in advance, so it’s not really possible to do more than wonder.

      I’ve had the livestream running since I got up today and it’s good to hear the words from the senators “asking questions”.

      And there’s a whopping 11,437 people watching it on YouTube, so I’ll be one of almost no one that hears more than a few sound bytes.
