U.S. Sen. Cory Booker has broken the record for longest floor speech in the U.S. Senate's history as a demonstration of resistance towards the policies and actions of the Trump administration.

"That's what we need in our generation now. We need a dream to call the nation together...but as long as this is a democracy, we can say the power of the people is greater than the people in power."

The record previously belonged to Strom Thurmond, who filibustered against the Civil Rights Act of 1957.
