Happening now:

For nonAmericans, it simply means you block all business as long as you can speak

He started at 7 PM Monday, and spoke through the night, and is still going as of 1 PM today

We need *a lot* more than that but it's a start

edit: it's not even a filler filibuster, where you read the dictionary or something empty, he's still on point the whole speech

addendum:

if you tune in you can see other speakers from the floor chiming in

these are other democrats helping cory out by giving him a small break, it's just using a quirk of the rules

congress has byzantine rules about how long someone can speak, who can respond, how long they can respond, etc, so it becomes a game

@benroyce when the others step in to give him a break, is he allowed to eat/drink/go to the bathroom?

i don't know. i think no. there has to an adult diaper involved, i don't think he can use an empty gatorade bottle in this scenario 😅

all it takes is one GOP chud to go "he left the room, filibuster over"
