Democratic voters cried after a tour, and Senator Cory Booker hears them. Booker has taken over the ground of the Senate and plans to keep the ground as long as he can tell the stories of people who are damaged by Trump's politics.

Booker said in his opening speeches:
This evening I am intended to disturb the United States' normal business as long as I am physically capable.
I get up this evening because our nation is in crisis:
Basic rock obligations are broken;
Unnecessary difficulties are borne by Americans with all backgrounds;
Our institutions are ruthlessly and unconstitutionally attacked and even shaken.
In just 71 days, the President caused damage for damage to the security of the Americans. financial stability; The basics of our democracy; And every feeling common.
These are not normal times in our nation.
And they should not be treated as such in the United States Senate.
The threats to the American people and American democracy are serious and urgent and we all have to do more to stand against them.
From now on, generations will look back on this moment and have one question – where were they?
When our country was in a crisis and when the American people asked for our help – did we talk?
When the 73 million American seniors who rely on social security were communicated from now on, there will be no one who answers when they call for help. When our seniors were afraid and were concerned because we threatened an American president, did we talk?
When the prices in the grocery store were leaking and the stock market fell and the Americans hurt and looked for help –
At the same time, the President of the United States started a trade war against our allies.
Discharge of the supervisory authorities who examine the largest banks and companies in America;
Removal of the agency that protects consumers from fraud;
towered his own memum coin;
and to make a car advertising for the richest man in the world in front of the White House;
Video from Booker to Medicaid cuts:
When the president tried to keep people with disabilities away to pay tax cuts for the billionaires who are on the podium in his inauguration and in his cabinet sessions in the White House;
When he dismissed public education; The most closer to financing for pediatric cancer research; and fired thousands of veterans who risked their lives for this country;
When he demanded our allies and our international obligations at a time when flooding, fires, hurricanes and droughts devastating throughout the country and outbreaks of dangerous infectious diseases, there is still a global threat.
When the American press was censored;
When international students from American communities disappeared;
When American universities were silenced;
When American law firms were targeted;
As the people who attacked the police officers who defended this building and on January 6 not only pardoned the American democracy, but were celebrated by the man in the highest position of the country;
As Americans from all over the country and said:
That is not right;
This is un -American;
This is not the one we are.
Did we talk?
I get up tonight because it would be a betrayal to be silent at that moment of the national crisis, and because at that moment there is nothing less than anything we are at the moment.
This is not a filibuster.
It is a floor speech. The difference is that a filibuster is a longer speech to prevent a vote. A filibuster is a refusal to show the floor. Booker doesn't try to block anything before the action. In a longer speech, he is committed to attention. It is not necessary that his colleagues also speak because it is not a filibuster.
In the recent past, however, the senators have drawn all-nights where a group of them comes together to keep the ground to draw attention to one topic.
Booker's speech is what real leadership looks like.
Democrats must be disturbing and the Trump presidency does not have to treat like the status quo.
Cory Booker shows you the way.
