I may be tired and a little hoarse, but as I said again and again on the Senate floor, this is a moment where we cannot afford to be silent, when we must speak up.

Right now, Cory Booker is holding the Senate floor like a combination of Jimmy Stewart in "Mister Smith Goes to Washington" and Jerry Lewis in the last hours of his telethon. Compelling viewing! (On C-Span and Youtube)

Cory Booker's 20th hour of his Senate filibuster: he is still on fire: “This is an American moral moment. This is a question of where do we stand for healthcare? Where do we stand for Social Security? Where do we stand for VA benefits? Where do we stand for our American neighbor when the call and co

I’ve taken the Senate floor and will speak for as long as I’m physically able to lift the voices of Americans who are being harmed and not being heard in this moment of crisis. Watch here:

It's simple. Everyone in the US enjoys the protections of the Constitution - even visitors. So if someone commits a crime here, you give them due process here. You charge them here, try them here, and sentence them here. You don't deport them to an offshore torture prison.

To anyone living in a state that doesn't respect you for who you love or who you are: Illinois has a place for you. You are seen, you are celebrated, you are protected, and you are welcome here in our state.

Pete Hegseth is a f*cking liar. This is so clearly classified info he recklessly leaked that could’ve gotten our pilots killed. He needs to resign in disgrace immediately.

WOW. Watch a constitutional law expert completely DEBUNK Republicans’ censorship crusade, while articulating exactly how Donald Trump is threatening freedom of speech. 🔥

This is a result of wellness quacks like RFK Jr. who demonize conditions like autism and ADHD. 1️⃣ hyperbaric chambers are for serious specific issues, not ADHD, and should never be used without a medical doctor. 2️⃣ ADHD concerns can be managed, it is never worth experimenting on your child.

Recognizing that there were no good options, we were dismayed to see Democrats vote for cloture and passing the continuing resolution. A shutdown would have been difficult, but the CR is dangerous, and it's long past time for our elected officials to stand up to the administration.

Senate Democratic leadership essentially played dead today and greenlit the Trump-Musk-Vance coup. What is the point of the Democratic Party if it doesn't actually act like an opposition party? Hello?

Among the material devastation to everyday people, Senate Dems have now blown a hole in their ability to work with the House. We had an agreed upon plan, House took immense risk, then Senate turned around midway and destroyed it w/ a fear-based, inexplicable abdication. They own what happens next.

She doesn't mention cloture specifically. But I think it's clear what Pelosi is saying here. And I think her saying it is a pretty big deal.

I’m calling for new leadership in the Democratic Party. So many democrats want to do the right thing, but leadership is stopping them with the unspoken threat of refusing to give them leadership positions down the road. NEW DEM LEADERSHIP NOW!! #NewDemLeadership

U.S. employers announced plans to cut 172k jobs in February. Trump's massive federal layoffs and uncertainty around his economic policies helped contribute to the biggest monthly total of planned job cuts since the Great Recession. Does this sound like economic leadership?

If Republicans make massive cuts to Medicaid, it will impact all aspects of our health care system. Millions of kids will lose coverage, hospital and insurance rates will soar and nursing homes will shut down. All this in order to give huge tax breaks to billionaires. NO CUTS TO MEDICAID.

Greed... To pay for that, everyone earning less than $700,000 per year will see an increase in their tax bill, and access to food, healthcare, transportation, housing, education, and clean air and water will be entirely cut off for tens of millions of American children and families.

Today a child died of measles - in the US- in 2025, yet another plane had a near miss and they’ve announced huge cuts to Social Security field office workers. I did not look at my Trump flag-having neighbor in the eye or respond to their good morning. I apparently hurt their feelings . Boo-hoo!

A reminder that Elon Musk's corporations were promised $3 billion across nearly 100 different contracts last year with 17 federal agencies. While DOGE cuts essential services for you, Musk is getting a taxpayer-funded windfall.
