“I think it's a moral obscenity." Senator Cory Booker, D-N.J., joins Deadline White House with @aliciamenendez.bsky.social to discuss his take on the GOP domestic policy bill and the ongoing "vote-a-rama" in the Senate.
Replies
Did Cory think the Crypto bill was ok? Cuz he voted 🗳 for that corruption. And Kushner... All these guys are in it.

The senator is correct - we know obscenity when we see it. The only question is whether the majority of voters will see it and know it.

Republican thieves are stealing wealth, abusing political power, and lying to the public.

Whoopee shit, no tax on tip, but legislation costs the poorest people $1600 a year according to CBO.

There are people who drop out of law school and such to serve. It’s lucrative, especially if you can get into a higher end establishment. This small group of individuals may have been who some in the DNC were attempting to tax. Unfortunately, the Denny’s server thought they were coming for them.

The violence he's talking about is called, "Structural Violence," is well known as profiled in Dr. Paul Farmer's "Pathologies of Power: Health, Human Rights, and The War on the Poor" (2005, UC Press) and is a widely hailed ethnography by a well-respected anthropologist. Yes, it's a moral outrage.

This should not be a surprise to Americans because when you live in a country where your elected officials and too afraid to stand up to a tyrant for fear of retaliation, then you have already lost your democracy.

I’m not impressed with him anymore. You can’t play the bipartisan game with an administration and congress who vote for us to be basically murdered. This is getting old. I have more balls than this, they just happen to be on my chest.

Republicans in Washington are turning on the people that sent them there. There should be a law besides waiting for elections that says You’re Fired and come home immediately

Corey booker needs to step it up!! We have no time, and no more lives to sacrifice! I'm frightened this is our last chance to fight the heritage (heretic) foundation. Crush ice, and we liminate the heretic foundation!

Why are Companies such as Walmart and Amazon getting tax Breaks when these tax breaks were Supposed to be used to off set costs of benefits and higher wages for employees- “ Trickledown” ? These mega billion dollar companies have the most employees on medicaid and Still get major tax cuts. ABUSE

“Its violence” - Senator Booker When GOP reps are making the comments they have been about voters who rely on these services. I don’t think he’s to far off base with these comments. What’s the difference between this and letting people starve in Palestine 🇵🇸? A lot of cross over.

I would like to see so much enthusiasm when there is really a need to pass a bill that benefits people that really need help. They’re really monsters. So sad that they have the ability to make the world a better place and they waste it

Lisa Murkowski got cut outs from the bill for Alaska – for snap, money for rural hospitals, increased deductions for wailers, etc. so if she votes against the bill, it's not going to hurt Alaska

Why isn’t someone talking to the billionaires? Let’s bring them in for discussion. Tell them it makes them look like greedy robber barons. Let’s ask them to stick up for the little man. Someone has to stop this wave of greed and cruelty. 🤯💔
