Senator Cory Booker just broke the all-time record for the longest Senate floor speech, speaking for over 24 hours without a pause (no food, no bathroom breaks, only water to drink) as a protest against Trump and Musk and what they’re doing.

Senator Booker has blown past that record, currently at 25 hours and still speaking as of 8 pm local time. Respect.
