Cuts to essential services like Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid would be devastating to working people across the country. We all deserve better than threats to our retirement security, our medical needs, and our livelihoods.

We don’t have to let Trump wreck our economy with tariffs—that’s a choice. The Constitution gives trade authority to Congress, not the President. Congress delegated tariff powers to the President and we can take them back. We have the bills (one is mine). We just need enough support to pass them.

Sen. Booker’s speech was a substantive and moral account of this moment. He did not read the phone book. He did not babble. For 24 hours @booker.senate.gov laid out a detailed, damning, and critical narrative of truth, history, politics, morality, humanity. What will you do?
