He just started a few minutes ago, technically this isn’t a filibuster because of some parliamentary rules being used by Dingy.

Via NRO:

A Republican Senate source tells NRO’s Betsy Woodruff that Texas senator Ted Cruz will mount a “talking filibuster” this afternoon to stop a cloture vote on the continuing resolution that would defund Obamacare, which is set to come up for a vote tomorrow. Cruz is expected to begin the filibuster shortly after 2:30 p.m.

Cruz vows filibuster ‘until I am no longer able to stand’

Sen. Ted Cruz began a talk-a-thon on the Senate Tuesday afternoon and vowed to keep speaking “until I am no longer able to stand” as he tries to halt President Obama’s health care law.

“I rise today to speak for 26 million Texans and 300 million Americans,” Mr. Cruz began.

He took to the floor armed with a big black binder, thick with papers, presumably to read as he talks.

He began at 2:41, and can talk up until noon tomorrow, when under the Senate rules he would have to stop and the Senate would proceed to vote on ending debate and bringing the spending bill to the floor.

The bill right now includes provisions to defund Obamacare, which Mr. Cruz supports, but under the rules Democrats can strip those provisions out with a majority vote. So Mr. Cruz is trying to block the entire bill — including the parts he supports — in protest.

I just wish he'd have expended more of his energy attempting to garner the support of his fellow Republicans.
