Democratic Sen. Cory Booker of New Jersey broke the record Tuesday for the longest speech on the Senate floor in U.S. history.

His remarks, which focused on what he called a governmental “crisis” caused by President Trump’s second-term agenda, began Monday evening at 7 p.m. ET; he went on to eclipse Sen. Strom Thurmond’s 24-hour, 18-minute filibuster against the Civil Rights Act of 1957.

“This is not right or left, it is right or wrong,” Booker said more than 20 hours into his speech regarding Trump’s sweeping cuts to the federal workforce. “This is not a partisan moment, it is a moral moment. Where do you stand?”

1. My estimation of Cory Booker has gone way up!

And, great that the longest Senate speech ever is no longer that of a segregationist!
