Just about to hit 24hrs in 8mins.

Edit 2: And record broken.

Edit 3: Is it too late to say that he's on a roll?

Edit 4: "This isn't Right or Left. It's Right or Wrong"

And with that he finishes. 25hrs.

Edit 5: Word is coming in that Senator Cory Booker has now used the bathroom.

Senator Booker has held the Senate floor since 7pm ET Monday, promising to talk “as long as I am physically able.”

The record for the longest individual speech belongs to the late South Carolina Sen. Strom Thurmond. He spoke for 24 hours and 18 minutes in protest of the Civil Rights Act of 1957.

Sen. Wayne Morse of Oregon previously held the record with a 1953 filibuster that lasted 22 hours and 26 minutes.

Senator Booker is on the floor to talk about “the urgency, the crisis of the moment.”
