I thought the republicans only had to threaten a filibuster but didn't actually have to do it. But democrats have to do it live?

Technically it isn't a filibuster,
Depending on how long he is able to go, he could disrupt Senate business on Tuesday, though his speech technically isn’t a filibuster — the chamber is currently in a limited period of debate time for Matthew Whitaker’s nomination as ambassador to NATO.
Per https://www.politico.com/live-updates/2025/03/31/congress/cory-booker-talk-a-thon-00262482
It just behaves as you would expect a filibuster to behave. The standard no-show threatening is still a thing you can do.

Yes because democrats are pushovers. Everyone knows that. Nice of Booker to show up with his spine and his shit talking voice. He's a legend for this.
We might have to hold the flooor and filibuster for 2 years straight to save old America. Im glad somones got the balls to show up and do it. I'm here for it. In this house all we do is listen to filibuster and support the peoples power.
Idk the workings of it but i heard that this type of filibuster hasn't been done in many years. Idk if thats true but that's what i heard
