US Lawmaker Sets Senate Record With …
Senator Cory Booker delivered a 25 hour and 5 minute speech on the Senate floor, surpassing Strom Thurmond's previous record, to protest President Trump's policies and radical budget cuts. Booker criticized Trump's actions, accusing him of harming American democracy and dismantling government programs without congressional approval. The speech, though not technically a filibuster, aimed to rally Democrats concerned about the Trump administration. Booker cited civil rights leader John Lewis and encouraged Americans to embrace "good trouble" as the means to resist. Despite physical strain and dehydration tactics (stopping eating Friday and drinking before Monday) Booker injected humor and shared poetry. Fellow Democrat Senator Raphael Warnock commended Booker. His speech became a defining moment.

Niger Junta Frees Former Officials, Soldiers …
Niger's ruling junta, which seized power in July 2023, has released several high-profile detainees, including former ministers, a diplomat, a journalist, and soldiers accused of a 2010 coup attempt. The releases follow recommendations from the National Forum for Reconstruction. Notable figures freed include former oil, defense, and finance ministers, as well as the ex-ambassador to Nigeria. However, ousted former President Mohamed Bazoum remains detained despite international calls for his release. The junta, led by General Abdourahamane Tiani, has cut ties with France and distanced itself from ECOWAS, while forging closer relations with Russia, Burkina Faso, and Mali, forming the Alliance of Sahel States (AES). The AES foreign ministers are scheduled to meet with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov in Moscow.
