Breaking news: Sen. Cory Booker (D-New Jersey) broke a record Tuesday night for the longest U.S. Senate floor speech of the modern era, surpassing Sen. Strom Thurmond’s 1957 remarks inside the chamber that lasted 24 hours.
Cory Booker breaks modern record for longest speech from Senate floor
The New Jersey Democrat is speaking in protest of the Trump administration’s policies. His record-breaking speech is not delaying the Senate from a vote, so it is not a filibuster.

I'm not a programming guy but MSNBC and CNN should be airing this Cory Booker thing in the same way you take over programming if there's a no-hitter or a basketball player with 60 points in three quarters. It's a physical feat! Cut in for this kind of thing. Costs nothing, gooses ratings, good TV.

Hi, BlueSky. It's Hillary.

I've joined up here to help get the word out about an important election in Wisconsin tomorrow, and other ways to defend our democracy against those who think votes can be bought.

Fourteen hours later, he's still going.

Thank you, @booker.senate.gov, for using your voice to alert people to Trump and Musk's wrecking ball to Social Security and other vital services Americans rely on.
I’ve taken the Senate floor and will speak for as long as I’m physically able to lift the voices of Americans who are being harmed and not being heard in this moment of crisis. Watch here:

He will burn down whatever he can, however he can

Our systems of governance, rule of law, global alliances, even the Constitution.

Consumed by vengeance and greed, he is the greatest threat to our Republic since its founding.

We must meet this moment with the force of a thousand suns.

Or perish.

BREAKING - Inflation JUMPS back up to 3.1%

One of the factors?

Egg prices SKYROCKETED -- 15% in one month alone!

What happened to Trump's promise to "SLASH prices" on "DAY ONE -- so fast it'll make their heads spin"?

Trump LIED -- and we're all paying it for now. Literally.

Project 2025 was unpopular because of things like the plan for Trump to shut down the CFPB, which helps you get your money back if a bank cheats you.

RFK Jr. is disqualified, dangerous, and cannot be given the power to make critical health care decisions for millions of Americans.

I'm headed to the floor to put up a fight against his nomination.

Why did Trump have himself put in charge of the Kennedy Center?

Because he knows that the educated and cultured people who patronize it despise him.

So he seeks revenge. And he knows that his being in charge of the center will destroy it.

i was pretty sure trump views most of the government the way he views most things, which is:

- does that have my name on it
- why doesn't it have my name on it
- can somebody put my name on it
- what's my name again
- who are all you people anyway

We shouldn't have to hope the ethics report gets released, then hope the Senate reads it, then hope they take it into account during the confirmation process.

We shouldn't have to hope they will stop a sex trafficker from becoming the chief law enforcement officer of the nation.

But here we are.

Through executive order, President Biden should mandate that the FBI conduct background investigations on Trump’s picks and instruct the FBI to begin the process now. The U.S. Senate should use its power to request the same of the FBI.
