Cory Booker breaks a 68-year-old Senate record with a 25-hour speech The New Jersey Democrat took the podium to criticize the Trump administration's policies at 7 p.m. Monday. He ended his marathon speech shortly after 8 p.m. on Tuesday, breaking a decades-old record.

β€œSenator Booker demonstrated what it means to stand in the tradition of prophets & freedom fighters who refused to bow to injustice. Now is the time to put our faith into action to build a movement of resistance rooted in justice, love, & moral courage.” -
