Senator Cory Booker recently made history by delivering a speech lasting over 25 hours, surpassing Strom Thurmond's previous record for the longest speech in the US Senate. His marathon address, which focused on denouncing President Trump's actions and his administration's policies, was fueled by a call to "get in good trouble," inspired by civil rights icon John Lewis. Throughout his speech, enticing discussions occurred around issues like social justice and institutional integrity, as Booker emphasized the urgent need for citizens to engage in activism for a better society.
During his speech, Booker accused the Trump administration of recklessly attacking institutions and railed against Trump aid Elon Musk's cuts to the federal bureaucracy, including reductions in staffing at the Social Security Administration.
What has happened in the last 71 days is a patent demonstration of a time where John Lewis's call to everyone has, I think, become more urgent and more pressing, said Booker.
