Right now, Cory Booker is holding the Senate floor like a combination of Jimmy Stewart in "Mister Smith Goes to Washington" and Jerry Lewis in the last hours of his telethon. Compelling viewing! (On C-Span and Youtube)

Cory Booker has held the Senate floor for 17 hours and 21 minutes.
The record of 24 hours and 18 minutes is held by segregationist Strom Thurmond, who spent that time protesting the Civil Rights Act of 1957.
I am pretty sure Booker would not mind changing that history.

moving forward I would like to see dems gum up the works every way possible. No unanimous consent, full votes on every tiny piece of business. I don't expect everyone to have the stamina to do a Mr. Smith Goes to Washington, but many lengthy floor speeches. Just slow everything down to a crawl.

Really good night for Dems. Rs passed the WI voter ID amendment, but it didn't - as they hoped - transform turnout for Schimel.
Ds hold WI court, hold WI superintendent of public instruction, flip a number of mayoral offices in IL. Rs hold FL House seats but margin down by half since 2024.

Oligarch Vladimir Putin has called up 160,000 men aged 18-30, Russia's highest number of conscripts since 2011, as he moves to expand the size of its military after severe losses in Ukraine.
The new conscripts would not be sent to fight in Ukraine, intelligence has warned Lithuania is next.
