Cory Booker

Thank you, sir. The alligator was his reputation--had taken over as his leadership. And we, this bipartisan merry group of Senators were going there to sit there in a unified, bipartisan way and say to this new leader: You need to honor…

Let’s be bolder in America, with a vision that inspires with hope.

Well, with that kind of deference, I now will yield for a question while retaining the floor.

Smoot and Hawley. Yes, sir, I definitely remember those names from high school history. God bless you, Mr. Al Gore and Mr. Perot. So, yes, what he is going to do tomorrow is going to rattle the markets. What he is going to do tomorrow is…

I love you. I love you. I love you for bringing these things to point because we--by the way, with Adam Zipkin, we did a farm tour. We were in southern Illinois, meeting with Republican farmers--this is before the pandemic--and you see…

I thank you, Senator Coons, by your strength of voice, by your tone, by the colleague and citizen that you invoke. You are saying the answer with strength, my friend. How do we judge our Nation? What measure do we judge America? Is it by…

Collins, Murkowski, and McCain, I think, took a lot of courage. They were getting a lot of pressure from the White House. John McCain was viciously attacked afterwards. But his private conversations with Members and you, Senator Schumer--I…

So I appreciate this more than you know, and there is a line threaded throughout your entire question about the way they are going about doing this from so many Agencies. First, they are trying to kill certain Agencies--the Department of…

I appreciate that. I am going to try to keep it short, but I want to reminisce with you about something that--do you remember in Trump's first term that he used a national security waiver to put tariffs on Canada then?

--because I love that you are a millennial. I am X generation. I love the baby boomers, but they are quickly leaving Congress. This is the last baby boomer President you will ever have. I am confident of that. And new generations are…

I talked or texted with this person who asked me to yield the floor. I have been letting this power go to my head. I have never in the Senate had the ability to hold the floor and leave the person in a little bit of limbo. I just want to…

I rise tonight because I believe sincerely that our country is in crisis.

I want to answer your question, but first I want to just say what you already know. You represent my mom. You represent one of her best friends, Lou. You represent my Aunt Shirley. You represent my Uncle Butch. You represent my Aunt…

I cannot emphasize to you strongly enough, we decided to start this whole thing at 7 p.m. last night with Medicaid. We read story after story after story after story of people who are Medicaid beneficiaries who are terrified, who are…

So I want to thank the Senator for the question, and when I think of people who stand in adversity, I still see you standing in a snowstorm and the strength that you have had and stood up to fight for affordable healthcare, stood up and…

I rise with the intention of disrupting the normal business of the United States Senate for as long as I am physically able.

I rise tonight because I believe sincerely that our country is in crisis.

Listen to John McCain explain why he voted ‘no’ the last time the Republican Party tried to unite and tear down health care with no idea how to fix it, threatening to put millions of Americans in financial crisis and health care crisis.

In just 71 days, the president of the United States has inflicted so much harm on Americans’ safety; financial stability; the core foundations of our democracy.

It is maddening in this country to create greater and greater health care crisis and for us not to solve it but to battle back and forth between trying to make incremental changes or to tear it all down with no plan to make it better…

this is an overdraft speech. It is about a commonsense rule that lowers costs for millions and millions of Americans, while carefully targeting, really, the most egregious abusive overdraft practices in the financial industry today. Banks…

Furthermore, courts determine whether people have broken the law — not a president acting alone.

We are in a perverse, bizarro land where we’re having to decide between letting Donald Trump wreck the government this way or wreck the government that way.

Right now in America, big corporations are exploiting children in workplaces where federal law says they shouldn’t be in the first place.

Federal contracts must not be used to drive profits for corporations that continue to jeopardize our children’s safety and well-being.
