Cory Booker

I introduced a bill to establish an Office of Small Farms at USDA.

93 percent of small farmers do not get crop insurance.

We are a government that is digging a deeper and deeper hole, that is not only racking up costs.

We have incredible power within the Federal Government, but we are not using it to help to sustain, again, the food that America eats.

About 1 out of every 3 dollars that our Federal Government spends is being spent on health care.

the farm bill does even less to really help you. It is a stunning reality.

I obviously have the same experience with a lot of constituent calls and just not even understanding often how the wait times are.

today I would like to applaud the Senate's passage of S. Res. 203, a resolution recognizing Jewish American Heritage Month. This resolution is an important reminder of the numerous contributions of Jewish Americans to our society. I have…

I have 15 requests for committees to meet during today's session of the Senate. They have the approval of the Majority and Minority Leaders. Pursuant to rule XXVI, paragraph 5(a), of the Standing Rules of the Senate, the following…

I'm really worried about that.

I'm excited about what the future holds.

There will be no pause.

The only way we're going to see the democratization of values, I think... is if we create rules of the road that enforce certain safety measures.

I really want to just explore what happens when these companies that are already controlling so much of our lives.

you would encourage Congress and my colleague, Senator Welch, to move forward in trying to figure out the right tailored agency to deal with what we know and perhaps things that might come up in the future?

I mean, I see us--I'm a big believer in the free market, but the reason why I walk into a bodega and a Twinkie is cheaper than an apple or a Happy Meal costs less than a bucket of salad is because of the way the Government tips the scales…

there's no way to put this genie in the bottle. Globally, it's exploding.

I have obviously gathered a lot from listening to my colleagues. I just want to--obviously, there is multiple fronts to this effort in terms of America.

Obviously, this is a colossal breakdown here, a failure, in a sense, of democracy to take root and it means that we have to reevaluate all of our actions and roles that we have played and try things differently.
