U.S. Senator #CoryBooker addresses the #Senate floor. Booker, a #Democrat from New Jersey, has promised to speak "as long" as he's physically able on the Senate floor Monday night into Tuesday morning, criticizing the #Trump admin.
Hell yeah.

Senator #CoryBooker has now entered his 22nd hour speaking on the #Senate floor, criticizing the #Trump admin.
If he makes it to 7:19PM ET, he will have surpassed the all time record in US history.
Senator Strom Thurmond’s 1957 civil rights debate on the Senate floor holds the record at 24 hours & 18 minutes long.

30 minutes away from breaking the record. Senator #CoryBooker is still speaking about the importance of the US #Constitution & standing up for the #rights of all #people, especially those who are being targeted by a savage few with the #money & #power to do so.
And he has done it. Senator #CoryBooker has broken Strom Thurmond’s 1957 anti-civil rights filibuster.
“I am not doing this because of him, I am doing this in spite of him.”
“I’m not quite ready to wrap this up yet.”

"I don't want a Disney vacation of our #history! I don't a #whitewashed history, I don't want a homogenized history. Tell me the wretched #truth about #America, because that speaks to our greatness" - Sen Cory Booker
