Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ) conducted an extensive, overnight speech targeting President Trump, Elon Musk, and the Republican agenda, asserting that the U.S. is experiencing a crisis. He criticized actions affecting safety, democracy, and healthcare, emphasizing that these times demand urgent attention from the Senate rather than complacency. Booker highlighted proposed GOP cuts to Medicaid and quoted civil rights leaders while engaging with fellow senators. Though not an official filibuster, his speech aimed to draw significant attention to Democratic issues and challenge the current administration's approach, particularly within the first 71 days of Trump's presidency.
In just 71 days, the president of the United States has inflicted so much harm on Americans' safety, financial stability, and the core foundations of our democracy.
These are not normal times in America. And they should not be treated as such in the United States Senate.
It is maddening to create greater and greater health care crisis, accusing Republicans of tearing down systems with no plan to make it better.
Booker's speech threatens to delay Senate business, spotlighting Democratic concerns about the direction of the country in the face of an ongoing crisis.
