Even a broken clock is right twice a day. Some of Trump's most fervent supporters know that health care costs are out of control, and something must be done.

Jersey, did you know Trump is targeting our state? Delaying funding for the Hudson Tunnel Project, which is a vital part of the project to double rail capacity between New Jersey and New York City.

Stopping these funds, is illegal and completely unacceptable.

I look forward to securing these grants with you AG Bondi, as you promised. New Jerseyans are depending on us both.

My office has asked the State Department to ensure that U.S. citizens and New Jerseyans from the Global Sumud Flotilla who were detained in Israel are provided consular services, treated with dignity, and released quickly.

Can you and your family afford to pay double or even triple the price for health insurance? Trump and Republicans have let the government shut down instead of lowering the cost for American families.

I’ve heard from many New Jerseyans how Trump and Senate Republicans' policies have made working families poorer and sicker.

We have to come together to reopen the government and lower costs for Americans.

58 years ago, Thurgood Marshall made history joining the Supreme Court. We can still honor his legacy today.

This is a reckless delay, especially when 20% of our nation's GDP relies on this infrastructure. For New Jersey and our nation's sake this funding must be fully restored, immediately.

Trump withholding federal funding for the Hudson Tunnels to punish his political opponents is a blatantly illegal action that threatens nearly one hundred thousand working class jobs, wastes taxpayers money, and damages the safety and economic wellbeing of our nation.

Eight years ago today, a shooter killed 60 people and injured 800 more at the Route 91 Harvest music festival in Las Vegas.

Armed with 13 rifles equipped with bump stocks, the shooter was able to fire more than 1,000 rounds in 11 minutes, devastating the nation and shattering hundreds of families.

Many Americans have uncertainty. We’re facing rising health insurance premiums, a chaotic president, and now a government shutdown. We must stand up for people across this country.

I’ve heard from New Jerseyans and Americans, they want us to fix this mess Trump and Republicans created. Democrats are ready to lower health care costs and reopen the government.

Trump admitted in the Oval Office he is shutting the government down. Democrats are ready to stop your health insurance costs from doubling.

Sen. Cory Booker @booker.senate.gov · 8d

There is one reason the government is shutting down: Republicans and Trump have refused to work with Democrats to lower health care costs.

According to Trump who owns a government shutdown? The President.

Republicans and Trump have been pushing us towards a shutdown for months. Instead of coming together to lower health care costs for Americans, they chose politics and partisanship.

43 85 320

Sen. Cory Booker @booker.senate.gov · 9d

Trump was clear, if there is a shutdown it’s a black mark on his presidency. We can keep the government open and lower health care costs for working Americans, if he chooses to lead.

Sen. Cory Booker @booker.senate.gov · 9d

The government is going to shut down and your health insurance is going to go up–why don't we have a deal?

Take it from Trump: The President of the United States has to get this done.

For 126 years the VFW has stood for America’s veterans and their families. Now veterans and the VFW are getting squeezed, and a Republican shutdown could make things even worse. I’m going to keep standing up for our veterans, their services and their jobs, no matter how tough or how long the fight.

There are common sense gun reforms that are supported by a majority of Americans.

We need to do this now.

North Carolina, Michigan, and countless others, when is enough, enough?

When will we all demand better from each other, from our government?

We must stop the hatred of each other, but we must also demand each of our elected officials do more.

There must be a full investigation in order to ensure our veterans’ private information is protected and cannot be weaponized against them for political purposes.

The release of Congresswoman Sherrill’s personal information is a clear violation of privacy laws and an attempt by Trump’s allies to twist her military service for their own political agenda.

Republicans are raising your health care costs. Even a small reduction in coverage can mean huge cost increases for New Jerseyans.
