The historic 25-hour long speech by Senator Cory Booker in the U.S. Senate

Democratic Senator from the state of New Jersey Cory Booker delivered the longest speech in the history of the United States Senate at the beginning of this week to protest against the policies being promoted by President Donald Trump.

Booker spoke for 25 hours and four minutes continuously, without taking any breaks, neither to eat nor to use the bathroom, and surpassed the previous record, established in 1957 by Senator Strom Thurmond, who spoke for 24 hours and 18 minutes.

These are the final minutes of his speech:

Cory Booker began his speech this past Monday night. He focused it on what he defined as a "grave and urgent" threat from the Trump administration and criticized the cuts and policies being promoted from the White House with the support of Republican congressmen. 

These are some of the key moments from his speech: 

The complete speech by Booker is available on the C-SPAN website:

The Louis Vuitton Foundation in Paris hosts David Hockney’s largest exhibition

From this upcoming April 9 until August 31 of this year, the exhibition "David Hockney 25" can be visited at the Louis Vuitton Foundation, the largest ever held on the work of the British artist who, at 87 years of age, and despite the continuous medical care he requires, plans to attend the opening.

"David Hockney 25" will display more than 400 artworks by David Hockney from over 40 institutional and private collections, as well as from the artist's own studio and foundation. All the rooms of the Louis Vuitton Foundation will be dedicated to his works, created during his seven decades of artistic activity, from 1955 to 2025.

The exhibition will feature works in a wide variety of media, including oil and acrylic painting, ink drawing, pencil and charcoal, digital art (iPhone and iPad works, photographic drawings...) and immersive video installations.

This is the presentation video of the exhibition:

The New York Times has published an extensive report on this exhibition, which you can read for free at the following link, courtesy of Hoy en internet:
