New Jersey Democratic Senator Cory Booker has broken the record for the longest speech ever delivered in the U.S. Senate. Booker’s 25-hour protest of President Trump and his policies surpassed Strom Thurmond’s 1957 filibuster in defense of Jim Crow. Beginning Monday evening and stretching until late Tuesday, Booker repeatedly warned of Trump’s attacks on Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security; his economic policies; mass deportations; the power of billionaires like Elon Musk; and more.

Sen. Cory Booker: “John Lewis, so many heroes before us would say that this is the time to stand up, to speak up. This is the time to get in some 'good trouble,' to get into necessary trouble. I can’t allow this body to continue without doing something different. Speaking out the threats to American people and American democracy are grave and urgent. And we all must do more.”
