No more games. No more trying to fool the American people. We need to #MakeDCListen

That was a tweet from Cruz.

Send it out! #MakeDCListen

The CNN newsblondes are smearing Cruz as a “political opportunist trying to make a name for himself, because nobody likes him”.

Looks like Ted won't get a date with these cheerleaders. I'm sure he's crushed.

In opposition to the Civil Rights Act of 1957, Strom Thurmond conducted the longest filibuster ever by a lone senator, at 24 hours and 18 minutes in length, nonstop.

He isn’t technically filibustering as he isn’t holding up any votes.

I certainly hope he prepared well

It is easy to see how Ted was a national debating champion.

He is brilliant on his feet....

Ted needs our prayers.

I don’t think it’s Pelosy...she’s in the House. It’s who ever is presiding over the Senate. Not sure who that is.
