Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ) attempted another “I am Spartacus” moment for himself on the floor of the upper chamber — holding the Senate hostage for a full 24 hours as part of a marathon “filibuster” session opposing President Trump’s agenda in Congress. “I rise with the intention of disrupting the normal business of the United States Senate for as long as I am physically able,” Booker began a little after 7 p.m. Monday. “I rise tonight because I believe sincerely that our country is in crisis.” Booker’s speech is not technically a filibuster, since he is not opposing any specific legislation, though he will be able to talk for as long as he remains standing.
