I'd just like to clarify some things about Senator Cory Booker's marathon Senate speech in protest of the present administration and everything they are doing to the American people.
Senator Booker was NOT allowed to sit down, eat, or use the bathroom during his speech. Sitting or leaving the room to use the bathroom would be considered yielding the floor. Eating would have interfered with his speaking and the person who has the senate floor must continue to speak, except when listening to questions that they will then answer.
He only took occasional sips of water.
The person who previously held the record for longest speech on the Senate floor did have bathroom breaks and also did things like read from the encyclopedia.
Senator Booker did not do that. His speech was to point out the damage that this administration is doing and he stayed on that subject.
Senator Booker's speech did reach many people. It wasn't a silly stunt that was done so that he could take the record for longest speech. He wanted to show the country that democrats will do something to bring attention to the problems we are facing. That democrats are listening to them.
Senator Cory Booker spoke for 25 hours and 4 minutes to "make good trouble."

Hey, y’all. I’m going to need help, bill wise. Sales aren’t going anywhere for the past couple of weeks, and I need to pay for electric, cable, and phone. I’m short $170, right now.
Any sale to my shop or donation goes straight into my bills account— anything recieved over what I need in donations will go straight towards being saved for rent.

My dad: “So if your pronouns are they and them, how should I refer to you when I brag about you? My daughter? My son?”
Me: “Mom’s just been calling me her kid or her child.”
My dad: “I shall call you…my Eldest Spawn.”
