Yesterday, every single Republican & 30 Democrats supported Trump's $8.8 billion bomb shipment to help Netanyahu continue his annihilation of the Palestinian people.

That isn't what the American people want.

Below are my floor remarks to stop the sale.

@booker.senate.gov Booker voted with GOP to send $9 billion in weapons to Israel yesterday.

After Israel broke the ceasefire.

The US and the Democratic Party are funding war criminals & are complicit in the genocide of a defenseless people. More than 15,000 children have been murdered.

"What can I do?"

That is the number 1 question I get asked. And at this time in our democracy -- or what remains of it when public servants put their loyalty to a person above their oaths of office— I am grateful that people are asking that question.

Below is a video with my answer:

Tech businesses that aren’t viable, like X and cryptocurrencies, can live on like ethanol, subsidized by the taxpayer.
The NTSB says it will no longer email news outlets or reporters with notifications of upcoming press conferences, including those on plane crashes in Washington and Philadelphia.

Instead, all notifications will be made on X.

We're filing a FOIA to find out more about the change in policy.

Just heard Chris Christie and @weeklyshowpodcast.bsky.social’s Jon Stewart discuss how the dismantling of the federal government will be met with the rise of governors and state action. I’m excited to see the beginning of a rise in state power against the federal gov’t.
Gov JB Pritzker (R-IL) signs order prohibiting Jan 6 rioters from state employment in Illinois:

“I hereby direct CMS to apply the State Personnel Code and consider
any participation in the January 6 insurrection as infamous and disgraceful conduct that is antithetical to the mission of the State”
