Live: Speaking on Trump, Musk, and America’s Moral Moment on the Senate Floor | Senator Cory Booker YouTube video by Senator Cory Booker

I’ve taken the Senate floor and will speak for as long as I’m physically able to lift the voices of Americans who are being harmed and not being heard in this moment of crisis. Watch here:

Yes: when you start by saying the institutions are the problem -"there is lots of waste in government/media does seem biased/higher ed doesn't defend free speech"- you are adopting the frames of the authoritarian.

They don't want efficiency, or unbiased coverage, or free speech! They want control!

Tribal colleges and universities, which ProPublica last year found are perpetually underfunded by Congress, say it’s illegal to withhold financial support from them. Their funding is protected by…

The Trump administration has suspended millions in USDA grants to tribal colleges and universities. Now some students are facing their final weeks on campus.

"Do we allow that fear to consume us?... I'm going to continue to speak out the truth, which is that Donald Trump is an authoritarian dictator wannabe who is destroying our country and undermining the right to vote and undermining democracy." -@marcelias.bsky.social

This hits hard.

Get. Him. Out. Of. Our. Government.

This is what professional courtesy looks like among oligarchs.

Tax Cuts Are Primarily Responsible for the Increasing Debt Ratio Without the Bush and Trump tax cuts, debt as a percentage of the economy would be declining permanently.

This is why we have debt. It’s tax cuts for the wealthy not programs for tbe poor. There are more sources and you can find them easily online.

Elon Musk is traumatizing hardworking federal employees, their children and families.

He has no legal authority to make his latest demands.

We will block him in Congress and in the Courts.

Again.

@elonmusk: Consistent with President @realDonaldTrump's instructions, all federal employees will shortly receive an email requesting to understand what they got done last week. Failure to respond will be taken as a resignation.

This is the ultimate dick boss move from Musk - except he isn’t even the boss, he’s just a dick.

Not a great time for citizens who have chosen to serve their country by working in government, when the current leaders have nothing but contempt for your very existence.

I have an idea, run for office against a Republican who is enabling it - which is all of them.

NATO and trump:
Bolton was present at many NATO meetings between Trump and Stoltenberg. He says he believes Trump did not understand how the NATO alliance worked, or what Stoltenberg's role was.

WOW

Lutnick: "I'd like to thank you President Trump. It is the greatest honor to work for you, to be with you, to carry your name, your leadership, and your flag throughout the world ... I know him as the smartest, most thoughtful, and most intuitive person I've ever met."

Pay attention to this. Replacing JAGs with loyalists enables whatever orders Trump and Hegseth issue to be interpreted as lawful.

If any of our former NATO or Five Eyes allies have intelligence data and assessments, which surely they must, about the background of the leader of their new strategic adversary, the United States, now is as good a time as any to release them, subject to protection of methods and sources, of course.

I'm not sure it's actually set in that the Trump administration has done an end run to effectively grind to a halt new scientific research.

"Prominent figures standing up can undermine the climate of fear that MAGA relies on to impose terror. AOC’s work on behalf of her constituents and refusal to be intimidated are models of resistance other Democrats would do well to imitate."

It's no coincidence that Musk's companies are soaring in value as the regulatory agencies that were investigating or suing them are being gutted.

The DOGE agenda isn't about "efficiency" — it's about Musk freeing himself from any accountability so he can line his pockets.
