As we recognize Mental Health Awareness month, I’m deeply concerned about cuts to mental health services that support the most vulnerable among us. We must all continue to look out for and support one another.

Before Ezra comes and explains why middle aged guys with 2 kids already voted for Dems in Nov, you might want to look at the upcoming generation to see why lost 6 million voters.
Precarity everywhere - census data, 36.8 million people—11% of the U.S. population—lived in poverty in 2023. So the
greed option looks better than the promises never kept on minimum wage, housing and health affordability.
Be FEROCIOUS in advocacy for ability to work 1 job at a livable wage at a company that cannot extract and fire for WS shareholders.
Job = not giving every $ to rent, praying don’t get sick.
We have a delusional mentality ill president,that needs to be dealt with it is true insanity not to remove this extremely sick man from power , threatening not only the economy but World Peace itself!
I think it's an important issue. No one signs up for mental health issues but the struggle is real and many are overwhelmed. Yet with the right help they can be a valuable part of our society. Don't give up on them.
We cut mental health services years ago.
I believe that’s what has contributed to the massive rise in the homeless populations.
Now we use our jails instead. Sad I saw that coming with state and county run care facilities closed.
The foundation of mental health is having a safe place to call home. The foundation of a healthy society is having compassionate correctional facilities that don’t release inmates homeless and broke. End prison slavery.
Cory the cuts to mental health programs pale in comparison to being gaslit, terrorized and abused daily by the President of the US. The entire country probably has the mental health of an abused spouse right now. But thanks for the awareness.
“Deeply concerned”? Did you write a letter? How about actually doing something? We just a beautiful 17 yo to suicide because of bullying gay kids. DO SOMETHING. Thinking of it isn’t a leader. Doing something is
Then maybe you should do something about it Senator... form a blocking coalition to shut down the fucking NAZI in the WH on everything and get your pals in the House to start impeachment instead of just drawing paycheck and tweeting.
Has there been a planning for financial planning to transition state into this? What justification and data analysis has been done for congress to approve this? I’m asking you because no one will answer my FOIA requests and I don’t trust my senators. @booker.senate.gov this will destroy our state
I'm deeply saddened the Democrats are to afraid of Trump to stop his gutting funds from everything health related and beyond. They need to take a stronger stand to protect the people from authoritarian scumbags instead of asking for donations for the next election campaigns.
Senator there is going to be a rise in psychiatric emergencies because of the trauma and chaos in every civil sector. Please start pushing help and funding to mental health medical facilities and care. We need to bolster the support networks now because the trauma has already begun
Great job @booker.senate.gov wooo you really are showing your true colors. You voted for a big MAGA, racist David Purdue. I’m done with your theatrical acts pretending to care. Unfollowing you.
Imagine how they’ll raise their child. This is beyond evil.
This is not “self-defence”. It’s terrorism funded by the U.S.A.
Cory Booker voted for this but wants to talk about mental health. 👀
Mental Health Awareness month?
All while a President and his entire Cabinet, and one half of our first branch of government (Congress), are unaware or in complete denial about the seriousness of Donald Trump's mental illnesses?
There is an authoritarian regime killing the country & the people.
The day you say, publicly, "The trump regime must be removed, and that is exactly what we are going to do!" is the day you and your colleagues stop betraying your oaths to the constitution and the American people.
This concern has been around for my entire life...but still treatment, as it improves, is just not available to enough people. It seems to me tht you have only to look as far as Fetterman to see what can happen to the brain even from trauma/stroke. Treatment must be available!!
Then DO SOMETHING!!! Stop supporting his crazed ideas and stalemate!!
Ps take a hard look at Fetterman, because I can no longer support that that stroke didn’t do anything to his brain
Every time there is a school shooting they say it's a mental health problem, but then they cut funding for mental health treatment and research. And RFK Jr. fills in the gap offering to sell us some tanning lotion, essential oils, and vitamins.
@booker.senate.gov Please!! Why do you continue to ignore these simple, entirely valid, and earnest inquiries?! Unfortunately we likely already know the answer.
@booker.senate.gov what the fuck was the point of breaking the filibuster record if you’re going to do this shit? Why waste your time for a performance you’re not going to back with EVERY ACTION? And you’re funded by genocides?? How gross you are.
When we have Germans scared for us… When Anne Frank quotes sound like the present… We need to fight like hell. Hitler turned on his own too, so why any politicians or oligarchs are capitulating is beyond me. If this is allowed to play out, there will be dead at every level of our society…
When is your next performance on the steps because we the people have some questions, and you have a lot of explaining to do. It seems you just might be a Trojan horse because your words do not match your actions you fucking traitor.
Maybe you should think about these things when you are voting to confirm people like David Purdue. Stop performing for social media clicks and actually back up your words with actions. Care to explain this?
Sorry, but how do we look out for and support one another when 1 of every 3 people in this country would rather have me (a US citizen) deported for my political views??
How do I tell the “good ones” from the “not so nice” ones? I struggle to call them bad.
Trump's sopranos name; "Donny 2 fingers sexual assault rapist bone spurs 2 dolls", Trump's 30 doll restriction under the Christmas tree this yr; But, Trump's allowing his two favorite Barbie doll's with no tariffs, it's literally like grabbing them by the p****: Ms Apocrypha repetitive lying...
White House press secretary/Ms Apocrypha evil 2 face corrupted Attorney General doll, etc. AI-generated MS 13 delusional idiots fake tattoos are extra!
Psychiatrist Dr. @BandyLee.bsky.social co-author of "The Dangerous Case of Donald Trump"/"The Even More Dangerous Case of #DonaldTrump" along w/a coalition of the nation's top psychiatric pros have all been warning us since 2017, their forecasts coming true. Start listening now. https://youtu.be/aVVy2G6AWFI
I'm deeply concerned the Democratic party isn't doing enough to stop the fascist clowns in DC.
Why are you fuckers still voting yes on anything the treasonous GQP does, including cabinet picks?
Sincerely every single sane American watching democracy die.
Senator Booker... The mad King Felonious II has said that he's instructing 988 to not help LGBTQ+ adults and youth anymore. Has this happened? How do we make sure this community that's 4x more likely to un-alive themselves gets the help they deserve?
I think that's what I said... But either way, as someone who's used 988 multiple times when I had no one to listen, any cut is a bad cut. 988 can save a life!
Definitely. He's not instructing 989 not to help them. That's what you had stated and I wanted to clarify. 988 will still help them. But the cut of specialized services is very dangerous to the community. Trump hasn't done this yet, either. Specialized services are still available. For now.
QUESTION:
As one of your constituents, Senator, the support I need is aid in getting to 🇫🇷 and enrolled in Aix-Marseille University, as it is no longer safe to be in this country. Will you help with that?
So another thing the Ds could run on: stopping further Reagan shame b/c can we agree we have learned the mentally ill need assistance not the right to live on the streets in chaos and creating chaos because their exact illness prevents them from taking the meds for the life we say we want for them.
Just please get the fvckhead out of office. And his administration. Let’s find some tactic. There must be something. The Republicans always seem to find a way to fvck things up, so let’s we do it.
No one in this country "looks out for" disabled or mentally ill people. We are treated as a burden. Disposable. Useless. It's not just the government that treats us that way. Our neighbors, our families, our former friends. Americans generally care about themselves and that's about it.
As soon as anyone finds out you have mental health concerns, their energy usually gets directed in their own defense. Meaning, rather than being there for you, they just try to do everything possible to make it look like it is not because of them.
And, quite frankly, people struggling don’t generally care if it has to do with them or not. They just want to be able to function again, and people like that only make it worse.

Why is the public not hearing from our leaders on this assault by the president?!
We are screaming for help!

These cuts are going to hurt so many people... It's unjustifiable.
WE need ACTION.
WE canNOT wait until midterms!!🚨🚨🚨
I believe that’s what has contributed to the massive rise in the homeless populations.

I had such faith in you. But your actions suggest my faith was misplaced.

Children should also be allowed to vote starting at age 14 if they are required to work in those red states.
1. Allow pregnant women to have 2 votes
2.Allow 14 year old to be new voting age

The Million Man March was a large gathering of African-American men in Washington, D.C., October 16, 1995. Put on by Louis Farrakhan.
A 30th anniversary of the million man march in DC would be a great tool to push back against this racist regime

Looks like he wants to cut specialized services. So, no more trained LGBTQ+ counselors. 😢 But 988 will still help them.

How do we help?
No days off anymore.
If tRump’s not stopped, there won’t be a number to call…focus Senator
