Hell yeah.

Senator has now entered his 22nd hour speaking on the floor, criticizing the admin.

If he makes it to 7:19PM ET, he will have surpassed the all time record in US history.

Senator Strom Thurmond’s 1957 civil rights debate on the Senate floor holds the record at 24 hours & 18 minutes long.

30 minutes away from breaking the record. Senator is still speaking about the importance of the US & standing up for the of all , especially those who are being targeted by a savage few with the & to do so.

And he has done it. Senator has broken Strom Thurmond’s 1957 anti-civil rights filibuster.

“I am not doing this because of him, I am doing this in spite of him.”

“I’m not quite ready to wrap this up yet.”

After 25 hours & 5 minutes, Senator has yielded the floor. Here are the last ~3½ mins.
