WOW! Cory Booker isn't holding back!
"There can be no bystanders in this fight. It is time that we understand the only thing necessary for wrong to triumph is for right to do nothing, for right to be silent." 🤘🔥

What's the Plan?
I'm too old to fight & I Hate Violence & Guns!
So Again I Ask
WHAT'S THE PLAN?
Folks need direction on what Can be done!
Don't tell us to fight! That's sounds like the idiot on 1/6!
I 💙 Rep Booker but please - some useful direction 💙✌🏽
Ftr, he didn’t mention violence or guns.
There are a # of Dems that approved of various
Spots. Here's link to a People story on who's been approved along with vote record. Only one I saw Vance had to break tie was Hegseth. All others have Dems that voted for.✌🏽 Check it out

He's only voted in favor of 3: Ratcliffe for CIA, Rubio for State, & Bessent for the Treasury, all bipartisan votes.
You're mad cause he weighed each voted?
This scott Bessent at his confirmation hearing explaining why billionaires and millionaires need tax cuts… but we don’t
All Democrats should be a straight no on every single appointment. Full stop.
There is zero way that his ppl will get blocked and it might help dems to not oppose some if they think it would help to be able to negotiate in the future.
I know things are scary right now but it’s called strategy

So there's that. 😤😠
Domestic terrorism is ideologically driven crimes committed by individuals in the United States that are intended to intimidate or coerce a civilian population or influence the policy or conduct of a government per USA PATRIOT Act (18 U.S.C.).
Then what???
Fight what, who, how??
Legislators have done nothing thus far...
We have to be prepared to stand and fight for our democracy
Take to the streets
Defy authority
Confront Fascism to it’s face and never blink
Now is the time the PEOPLE rise up
Primaries in their futures.
WTH.
*We tried!*
🙄
No more nominees
Filibustering any and all things going thru Senate?
Doing the things he can?
Why is he talking like this?
Remainder, "We the People" will revolt at the voting booth.
🚨His acts of voting to confirm Trump's unqualified cabinet member/s are louder than his words!😡 Hypothetical acts! Just performing for the camera?
Yah, Booker is another fake lying conman
That's not being a bystander, but it would have been better if he had been on those votes.
Is that allowed here? Oh well, IDGAF.
...As so many others have pointed out here in the replies, he has repeatedly voted to confirm DJT picks. Booker is all talk, he's a turncoat.
His words are good, and we should follow them...but then also hold him accountable.

Fuck @booker.senate.gov, he's another @fetterman.senate.gov
"It won't happen to us"
"It won't happen to me"
Saying this, believing this, plays directly into a fascist dictator's hands.
Proven time and time again throughout history. Every authoritarian is the same.
Staying silent, or saying it won't happen absolutely guarantees it will
Many of us have ended our friendships and family relationships with Maga. Show us you are real about what you say
We have to find a way to make this history ours!
Keep notes.
Vive la résistance!
Dems must rid themselves of the old guard.
Young Democrats are the answer, the future.
Schumer and those stupid nose glasses, Pelosi and her insider trading, put them to pasture. Old isn't now, it's not the future.
Listen to this guy go. That's what's needed!
RFK Jr only got out of committee on a party vote 14-13.
That means Booker voted against Froggy's nomination in committee and will almost certainly say no on the full floor vote.
You can track that stuff here: Booker is mostly rejecting the Orangefuhrer's nominees.
