Democratic U.S. Senator Cory Booker set a new record for the longest continuous speech in Senate history, speaking for 25 hours and 5 minutes. His speech, aimed at criticizing President Donald Trump’s administration, focused on what Booker described as reckless attacks on U.S. democratic institutions. Booker's address surpassed the 67-year-old record set by Senator Strom Thurmond. He condemned Trump’s government policies, including cuts to federal agencies and the challenge to the judicial system. The marathon speech reflects growing Democratic discontent with Trump’s actions and the Republican-controlled Congress.(PC: Reuters)
