Senator Cory Booker gave the longest speech in the history of the Senate, by speaking for over 25 hours. He didn't use the restroom, eat or drink. He broke the record set by Strom Thurmond, when he tried to filibuster a civil rights act.

Booker spoke against the nihilistic actions of President Elon Musk and his flunky, T***p. He concluded with a tribute to John Lewis. 

I watched some of it Monday night, then Tuesday morning at breakfast, and then all afternoon. I missed the last few minutes, just after 9pm.

John Lewis, RIP -- July 18, 2020

I was sad to learn that Representative John Lewis, an American hero, has died. He worked with Doctor King and tried to keep the quest for civil rights alive in a generally hateful Congress. 

God Bless John Lewis -- June 26, 2016

I'm very happy that Representative John Lewis, an American hero, is leading the sit-in which is trying to get Congress to do something about all these mass shootings and unrestricted gun sales.
