Sen. Cory Booker delivered an extensive speech on the Senate floor, criticizing the Trump administration's policies and advocating for urgent legislative action. Speaking from 7 p.m. to 8 a.m., he addressed issues like healthcare, immigration, and democracy's integrity. He emphasized the need for Congress to recognize the current crises facing the nation, encouraging colleagues to engage in 'good trouble.' Despite significant dissent within the Democratic party, he voiced the concerns of constituents, asserting that the turbulence of current times warrants an unprecedented response from lawmakers.
"In just 71 days, the president has inflicted harm after harm on Americans' safety, financial stability, the foundations of our democracy, and any sense of common decency."
"I've been hearing from people all over my state and indeed all over the nation calling upon folks in Congress to do more, to do things that recognize the urgency, the crisis of the moment."
