Cory Booker

This has been the center of my efforts for many days now to try to get something delivered to the President’s desk.

It really does speak to the fact that we are not being treated as human beings. And we’re criminalizing folks because of the color of their skin or how much or how little money they have in their pocket, and we’re excusing it away, instead…

I’m committed to that here in Kentucky. And that is why, today, I emphatically and urgently announced an exploratory committee for U.S. Senate to take a stand to build a movement to finally remove Rand Paul from office.

It won’t change unless we determine that structural racism is at the heart of it, and that we want this inequity to go away.

If you look like me, you`re going to be seen as a deadly weapon before being seen as a human being.

I have 9 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…

You cannot be a bystander as this goes on. You have to make a choice. This is an inflection point.

But what Georgia has done is trying to take a step back to the days of Bull Connor and Governor Wallace, the days where John Lewis was being beat for voting rights. It is a massive step backwards. And in today`s context, it also is massive…

Their silence will define them. There are organizations, there are business groups, there are business roundtables and more that know this is wrong.

It is a massive step backwards. And in today`s context, it also is massive step towards authoritarianism.

This is a serious inflection point for the United States of America. And so this is bigger than legislative filibusters. This is about the character and culture of American democracy.

Member after Member has come down tonight to speak, and the conversation, as we all have come down here, was to come do something that I think is extraordinarily poignant. This is the floor where policy is debated and where ideas of…

Much of hunger and poverty is a policy choice and not an inevitable reality.

For I was hungry and you gave me food. I was thirsty and you gave me drink. I was a stranger and you welcomed me. I was naked and you clothed me. I was sick and you visited me.

Eighty -- 95 percent of baby boomers did better than their parents. It`s now just a coin toss for millennials. We have a real crises in our country.

I am excited about the promise and possibility and opportunity that is going to be afforded so many families in peril and in crisis.

The time that you mentioned is so important right now.

I am really glad we are focusing today on how we can help America's farmers and foresters be partners in solving the climate crisis.

We know climate change is a grave threat to our planet, and we are already feeling its severe impacts.

In addition to presenting us with big challenges, climate change also presents us, I believe, with extraordinary opportunities.

I rise today to speak in support of sections 1005 and 1006 of the American Rescue Plan Act. These sections provide loan forgiveness and other critical assistance to Black farmers and to other farmers who are members of racial or ethnic…

Do you agree with the Attorney General Barr statement that there is absolutely no evidence of voter fraud that could have changed the outcome of the 2020 presidential election?

It is very important that we have a procedure or proceeding where the truth can come out, where we`re laying bear the facts in the Senate, which is not just a constitutional proceeding -- impeachment proceeding, but it`s also a crime scene.

It was a shameful day. It was a heartbreaking day. It was a failure, a monumental failure to see the capitol of the United States of America, the most powerful nation on the planet, have its capitol overrun by hate mongers, by those who…

I urge my colleagues to swiftly confirm Neera Tanden's nomination.
