On April 7, Facebook pulled the plug on the censorship of "independent fact-checkers," replacing it with a "Community Notes" approach, like Elon Musk's X uses. No one was more upset than the censorious left-wing "fact" police.

Angie Holan, the leader of the Poynter Institute's International Fact-Checking Network, marked "International Fact-Checking Day" by proclaiming they are needed now more than ever: "Fact-checking holds the line on reality for history's sake. It builds evidence-based records that can withstand political pressures."

Sen. Cory Booker's (D., N.J.) marathon 25-hour speech last week broke a Senate speaking record. But his fundraising off that speech broke long-standing Senate ethics rules, a watchdog group alleged in a complaint filed Tuesday.

Update: Cory Booker has now delivered the longest speech in a chamber in history – beating Strom Thurmond’s record.

Democrat Senator Cory Booker (NJ) has been ranting about President Trump and Elon Musk from the senate floor for 24 hours and counting.

A bug-eyed Booker started his marathon rant on Monday evening and he’s still droning on about President Trump as of Tuesday afternoon.

Sen. Cory Booker's (D-N.J.) record marathon speech on the Senate floor won the floundering Democratic Party something it has desperately needed in the Trump era: attention and the applause of its base.

The big picture: Top Democrats believe they are in their deepest hole in nearly 50 years after losing the White House, Senate and House, and the party's base has grown impatient with leaders who haven't countered President Trump more aggressively.

Sen. Cory Booker is holding the Senate floor into Tuesday afternoon, as the New Jersey Democrat continues his marathon speech protesting actions taken by President Donald Trump’s administration.

The Democratic senator vowed Monday evening that he would keep going as long as he was “physically able,” continuing his remarks through the night. As of noon Tuesday, he had spoken for more than 17 hours, having begun at 7 p.m. ET Monday.

New Jersey Democratic Sen. Cory Booker on Tuesday morning was still speaking on the Senate floor, staging a filibuster he started at 7 p.m. Monday night, in what he called a protest against the national "crisis" he said President Donald Trump and Elon Musk had created.

On Monday night, he said he was set to last "as long as [he is] physically able." He has been speaking for more than 15 hours.

Joe Biden’s sinking poll numbers are inciting panic among Democratic Party insiders, not to mention the progressive tech oligarchs who bankrolled his 2020 campaign. As the President rages about his poor ratings, even sympathisers in the media are no longer casting him as the next FDR; more, they’re increasingly pleading for him to exit the race for the White House.
