The claim: Democrats held the nation’s longest filibuster for 75 days to attempt to prevent the passing of the 1964 Civil Rights Act.
When senators want to put the brakes on legislation, they talk. And talk. And talk some more. That's called a filibuster.
Who holds the record for the longest filibuster? Recently a claim has made the rounds: "In 1964, on the floor of the U.S. Senate, Democrats held the longest filibuster in our nations history, 75 days. All trying to prevent the passing of one thing. The Civil Rights Act."
One Facebook user shared a post with the claim on social media on June 5. She did not respond when asked if she had any additional comments.
The Senate’s website states that the “longest continuous debate in Senate history” was about the 1964 Civil Rights Act.
Prior to passing the act, Southern congressmen signed the “Southern Manifesto” to resist racial integration by all “lawful means,” states the Library of Congress’ exhibit, “The Civil Rights Act of 1964: A Long Struggle for Freedom.”
The Library of Congress website states the Leadership Conference on Civil Rights led to an attempt to pass the Civil Rights Act of 1957.
The Senate site states President John F. Kennedy supported the act prior to his assassination and that President Lyndon B. Johnson encouraged Congress to pass the act in honor of Kennedy and to “end racial discrimination and segregation in public accommodations, public education, and federally assisted programs.”
Emanuel Celler, a New York Democrat, introduced the House’s version of a resolution on June 19, 1963, that would become the Civil Rights Act, according to an article in Smithsonian Magazine.
The House passed the bill on Feb. 10, 1964. It moved to the Senate on Feb. 26, 1964, and was placed on the Senate’s Judiciary Committee’s calendar, the Senate’s website states. The committee was chaired by civil rights opponent James Eastland of Mississippi.
According to Senate history, the issue was moved for consideration on March 9, 1964, when “Southern senators launched a filibuster against the bill,” with debates lasting 60 days.
On April 5, 1933, millions of Americans woke up to a new reality: owning gold was now a federal crime. 💰 In just 30 days, over 3,600 tons of gold were taken from citizens by their own government — all in the name of "saving the economy. The Day Americans Were Robbed of 3,600 Tons of Gold In 1933, President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed Executive Order 6102, making it illegal for American citizens to "hoard" gold coins, bullion, or certificates. This order forced private citizens to turn over their gold to the Federal Reserve at a fixed price of $20.67 per ounce —under threat of fines or imprisonment. At the time, this amounted to the government seizing roughly 3,600 tons of privately held gold. This gold was then consolidated under federal control and eventually revalued at $35 per ounce, effectively transferring immense wealth from the public to the government. This executive order didn’t just reshape monetary policy—it quietly rewrote the rules of ownership. By crimi...

Renters across the country are seeing a change: landlord-paid broker fees are becoming the new norm. In many places like New York City and Massachusetts , laws now require the person who hires a rental agent—usually the landlord—to pay their broker fees instead of tenants . Renters across the country are seeing a shift in how upfront rental costs are handled, with landlord-paid broker fees becoming more common due to recent policy changes. In places like New York City and Massachusetts, new laws now require that the person who hires a rental broker—typically the landlord—also pays for their services. This marks a significant change from long-standing practices where tenants, even when they didn’t choose the broker, were often expected to cover fees equal to one month’s rent or more. Supporters say this change makes renting more affordable and fair , especially for low-income tenants who face large upfront costs. However, some property owners and real estate professionals warn tha...
