Senator Booker is standing for the Constitution. I stand with him.

When he calls for Chuck’s resignation, then I will care what Cory does.

Until then this is a Cruz to Obama moment with Booker to Trump, in reverse, strong words that won’t deter fascists sadly even if it’s a good speech.

Senator Cory Booker is holding the Wall right now and hopefully he feels many of us as the wind at his back.

Now just imagine if each and every democrat in Congress, both senate and house, decided to stand up and voice their opposition the way that the very charming (and handsome), I mean brave, Cory Booker is! 😉👏🏻🌹

So let's all bombard the rest of the Dems with calls, texts, letters, emails and tell them to do just that! They work for us, not the other way 'round. They serve at the pleasure of the people who elected them. Doing nothing is not acceptable!

This is GREAT!!! I’m very impressed with his stamina and that his voice hardly shows any sign of strain.

He is spelling it out!!! We need more to spread it out far and wide to combat this Trump regimes lies!! No kings in America. This corruption has to go

And he didn't even need to turn to reading The Cat In The Hat, because he had 3 months worth of accelerated b.s. that the current leader put us through.

How about Green Eggs and Ham? That showed that Cruz really had nothing to say.

That was what I was eluding to. Just got my stories mixed up, but since you got it, I'd guess must of us here figured it out.

I stand with Senator Booker. It is time for Chuck Schumer to stand aside. What Senator Booker said about Trump is correct. We as Americans can do much better and be a beacon once again for freedom. Trump is a tired destructive racist who will only bring us down. Thurmond was a racist and a hypocrite. While he was raging against granting full citizenship to blacks, he obviously had no problem fathering a child with a black woman. Such is the historical hypocrisy of racists.

By all means we need this to stop. It is NOT usual politics, it is a COUP!! Our Nation is under attack and vulnerable. Basically ALL constitutional laws are being broken.

It is time to enforce.

Good post! And because I want you to look as smart as I’m sure you are, it’s spelled COUP. A coupe is an a fancy ice cream

Yes I felt a bit sheepish on that spelling error. My mistake as I hit the send before realizing my mistake. Thanks for pointing it out 🫢And God I wish this a fancy ice cream!!😖

Absolutely! We need action. We need evidence that we have leadership that is willing to step out of the norms. This is not a normal time in our country and we must act in the most loud and outrageous ways because we are enraged! Good on you, Cory Brooker!

Expand full comment

Yes, yes and yes!🥰 We must continue with the energy, passion and commitment we are seeing with Cory Booker right now. This is a great opportunity for a sane new day in America!

Senator Booker's courage and stamina are what the entire world needs right now. We need to demonstrate that the actions of the current regime are not what the vast majority of American people want or stand for. Cory Booker is the type of leader we have longed for these past 72 days and all of those days since the November election. We are a people of compassion and empathy, not the greedy hate mongers who currently occupy the White House. Carry on in power and strength Cory Booker. We support, applaud and sincerely appreciate you!

Please remember that Bernie and AOC have been taking the fight to the red states. They have spoken to 107,000 (?) people. Other Democrats have been following in their footsteps holding town halls where Republicans fear to tread. Cory is not the only one. You don’t see the leadership out there, however.

Expand full comment

Exactly. There ARE a significant few Dems who are willing to stand up for the people. Old school Dems don’t and won’t. Schumer and co. need to get out of the way.

Senator Booker was elected to Senate Democratic Leadership this Congress as Chair of Strategic Communications Committee and Senator Sanders is Chair of Outreach. Senator Chris Murphy is Deputy Congress Secretary for Senate Democrats and Senator Elizabeth Warren is Vice Chair. I think at least these three and now four with Senator Booker have been very visible holding town halls and in GOP districts, on most every news network and cable, standing in front of federal buildings that DOGE has illegally overtaken and demanding entrance, etc. The ones "MIA" are Schumer, Klobuchar, Warner, Cortez Masto, Baldwin, Durbin (another waste of space) and Schatz.

After the Senate vote on the CR where five of those in leadership voted yes to the CR, thousands of us called, wrote in, sent emails, etc. to Senators calling for Schumer to step aside. and our calls and concern have been ignored and dismissed. They believe we will "get over it". I'm not "over it". I accept that we will be ignored and dismissed by GOP, but I will never accept that Dem leadership is not hearing the voices of their party and is so readily dismissing us, not even yet holding a Caucus meeting to review the question of new minority leader. Get on board, get Schumer out or you'll lose many of us that you haven't already lost.

Well, fucking duh.

Bernie and AOC, Jasmine and others have made a start in the field. Booker is making it mainstream. EXACTLY what people want to see.

They also want to see the transgressors charged and taken in, not just legal papers waved in the air.

More of this please!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes we do need this and a lot more fight!

The Senators have been active in rallies to get airtime on the news, and others are assisting with lawsuits to fight back at Trump, while some senators create law to present on the floor of the congress.

The rest of the Senate Dems - minus a very small handful - should take note and join him. Cory has been leading the way in this fight since the election and I am fully in support of him and this strategy/tactic. It is a 5-alarm fire and right now Cory is holding the end of the fire hose.

I am supporting those Democrats who will fight like Cory Booker, AOC, Bernie Sanders (an independent), Jamie Raskin, and a few more who realize the fight is for America, and our Constitution, and the rule of law. We must push hard against the current administration, call out their fraud and abuse of power, and tell the American people what is really going on. We must support them, fight along side them, and peacefully demonstrate…..get out there April 5th. Show tRump we aren’t going to put up with his Project 2025 to dismantle the United States of America.
