If you make me change my password and then reject it because I've already used that password, may your milk go sour, your company go bankrupt, your children forsake you, your fields lie fallow, and your name be whispered as a warning and a curse until the end of your days.

@booker.senate.gov should spend a good portion of his time explaining his support for Kushner. Right now we’re all pretty sure he can be bought - and the ACLU will need to convince listeners that you haven’t spent our hard-earned contributions to pay him to attend this event.

I voted NO on their “big, beautiful” bill because it will strip health care from 14 million Americans—including nearly 130,000 people in my district who rely on Medicaid.

The current budget bill is an atrocity and out-of-touch leaders like Chuck Schumer laid the groundwork by voting for the CR.
Appeasement and complicity do not work. When you bend the knee, they’ll break your leg.

Tariffs were NEVER going to “bring manufacturing back to the US.” There are many reasons, including:
•Even with tariffs, US labor is prohibitively expensive
•America’s supply chain isn’t ready
•Most Americans don’t want to do manufacturing jobs
•Not enough unemployed workers to fill new factories

Just a few weeks ago people were pitching Cory Booker as a front runner for the 2028 Dem presidential nomination.
Tonight he was the only Senate Dem to vote to confirm Jared Kushner’s convict dad as ambassador to France.
Sheesh.
