Hi there,

The job of a journalist is to go to where the silence is — especially when those in power seek to silence voices that question or challenge power. That is what we do at Democracy Now! day in and day out, and we're able to do it because of financial support from people like you — people who trust and depend on our independent reporting. If you believe that freedom of speech and freedom of the press are essential to the functioning of a democratic society, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

Sen. Cory Booker Holds All-Night Filibuster Against Trump Agenda

HeadlineApr 01, 2025

On Capitol Hill, New Jersey Democratic Senator Cory Booker is continuing a marathon speech from the Senate floor warning the U.S. faces a crisis over President Trump’s disregard for the rule of law and his efforts to dismantle entire government programs and agencies. Booker’s all-night filibuster came after the State Department formally notified Congress that it is dissolving the U.S. Agency for International Development, USAID. Also on Monday, the Trump administration announced it would place the entire staff of the Institute of Museum and Library Services on administrative leave. The independent federal agency provides grants to libraries and museums across the U.S. Meanwhile, EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin has ordered the closure of the National Environmental Museum at the EPA’s headquarters in Washington, D.C.
