Thanks Cory Booker, for doing something, even if it's small and likely won't change anything in the short term. Also great he broke Thurmond's record.

I saw he was doing a filibuster yesterday morning but then went about my day. When my daughter's French Horn teacher showed up we chatted and he regaled his adventures the previous week in DC on a gig, where he had run into Cory Booker and got to chat with him. He then said "I sure wish I was there today," and when I asked, cautiously, why he relayed the 400m tiktok likes or whatever. "I'm cautiously optimistic," he said.

I told him to rub elbows with me to see if any of it would rub off.

I'm maybe an elbow's worth of optimistic. We'll see if it spreads.
