I want to start off with a HUGE round of applause for Sen. Cory Booker!

Thankfully he had other Senators provide much needed assistance. They’d ask lengthy questions of him so he could give his voice a rest. Teamwork makes the dream work!

Please make sure you also check out lpeacock's Thursday roundup of the past week’s activities of the Congressional Black Caucus.

x 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:

x I may be tired and a little hoarse, but as I said again and again on the Senate floor, this is a moment where we cannot afford to be silent, when we must speak up. — Cory Booker (@corybooker.com) April 1, 2025 at 6:09 PM

x After getting some rest, I am in awe of everyone who continues to lift their voice and speak out. This is a moment for our country, and we must make a choice about the America we want to be. — Sen. Cory Booker (@booker.senate.gov) April 2, 2025 at 9:32 AM

Democratic Daily Download

x American families deserve leaders who understand the struggles parents face.



On today’s Democratic Daily Download, @RepPettersen discusses how she’s fighting to make Congress more accessible to parents and families through her bipartisan resolution to allow new parents in… pic.twitter.com/PTn2O9H3zP — House Democrats (@HouseDemocrats) April 2, 2025

x In today's Democratic Daily Download, Rep John Larson calls out Trump-Musk's attacks on Social Security. They're coming after your earned benefits.



Today, we'll hear directly from Americans who are impacted by these cuts. We're fighting for families and seniors, not billionaires!

x In today’s Democratic Daily Download, @dpcc.house.gov Chair @debbiedingell.house.gov explains how Trump, Musk and Republicans are breaking Social Security and what Democrats are doing to protect Americans’ earned benefits.

Democrats doing Democratic things…

x Elon Musk spent millions in a failed scheme to buy a Wisconsin Supreme Court seat. Voters decisively rejected Donald Trump, Musk and the rapidly deteriorating Republican brand. Back up off the American people.



[image or embed] — Hakeem Jeffries (@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social) April 1, 2025 at 7:38 PM

x Jeffries: "It was a terrible week. So what happens on Sunday? Trump says, intentionally, 'I'm serious about running for a third term.' He can't run for a third term! ... why does he say it? ... to distract from the terrible week that they've had. We're not gonna take the bait."

x In under 10 days, we’ve heard about journalists added to unclassified chats and sensitive data being shot around on personal emails. And now we're hearing there's dozens more chats.



It's a never-ending parade of sloppy, reckless incompetence.https://t.co/94pvGRAtUj — Mark Warner (@MarkWarner) April 2, 2025

x Use what you have. "Talking to veterans, people that I served with as well as seeing some of what’s happening in Arizona, I decided that whatever tool I have to fix the situation, I’m going to use it,” Gallego told The Associated Press."

x The Trump Administration and Congressional Republicans want to take us back to a time when you had to pay to vote. Last night, I led a special order hour of the Congressional Black Caucus to make clear we won’t stand idly by and let that happen.



[image or embed] — Rep. Jennifer McClellan (@mcclellan.house.gov) April 1, 2025 at 10:31 AM

x Raskin: "My colleagues would rather go all the way down to the end of the field with Donald Trump rather than admit that that is a blatant violation of American due process and all of our constitutional values."

x Republicans are rigging the system to silence your vote and your power. Today, they’re blocking a BIPARTISAN effort to let new parents represent their constituents by proxy. They're also making it harder to vote—especially for women, rural voters, military members, & Tribal citizens.



[image or embed] — Rep. Teresa Leger Fernández (@fernandez.house.gov) April 1, 2025 at 10:27 AM

x Republicans claim to fight for working people—then back a bill to let big banks hike overdraft fees. Families get squeezed, Wall Street gets richer, and CEOs cash in. I’ll be voting NO.



[image or embed] — Mike Levin (@mikelevin.org) April 1, 2025 at 10:29 AM

x Today I supported proxy voting in Congress.



Making it harder for members, who are new parents to do their job — silences the voice of every working parent across the country.

We rallied together and soundly defeated this attempt! pic.twitter.com/HTsLoYoT7z — Jahana Hayes (@RepJahanaHayes) April 1, 2025

x If you need to take time off from work to care for an ill or disabled loved one, you should be able to focus on caring for them without dealing with endless government forms.



I am co-leading the ABC Act to streamline paperwork for family caregivers. pic.twitter.com/CrIktsBvuU — Congressman Seth Magaziner (@Rep_Magaziner) April 1, 2025

x Donald Trump's promise of a 'Golden Age' was nothing but a lie.



His impending tariffs are not only straining relationships with our allies, but they're also destabilizing the market and will drive up costs on everyday goods for hardworking Americans. https://t.co/HzAQ4XJAAy — Rep. Salud Carbajal (@RepCarbajal) April 1, 2025

x Donald Trump is trying to sweep SignalGate under the rug—declaring this national security breach “case closed” with ZERO repercussions for anyone involved.



Not on our watch. Hegseth put our troops' lives at even greater risk. He needs to lose his job. https://t.co/ibRjgq3K3n — Tammy Duckworth (@SenDuckworth) April 1, 2025

x Since Trump took office, women across the country are feeling increasingly marginalized & vulnerable.



Yesterday, on the last day of Women’s History Month, I spoke out on the House floor against the GOP’s attempts to undermine our rights, healthcare access, & opportunities for… pic.twitter.com/C5gx7k1t2d — Congresswoman Valerie Foushee (@ValerieFoushee) April 1, 2025

x More Trumpian thuggery: what is the point of firing individual AUSAs in faraway offices “on behalf of President Donald J. Trump,” if not to show all AUSAs that political hit men in the White House are monitoring their every move?https://t.co/duk0ceo489 — Sheldon Whitehouse (@SenWhitehouse) April 1, 2025

x Medicaid protects lives—and in MI-13, 333,421 people are in danger of losing coverage because of Trump, DOGE, and Republicans in Congress.



I won’t stop fighting to protect our community’s health and make care more affordable for all. — Congressman Shri Thanedar (@RepShriThanedar) April 2, 2025

x Social Security is not charity or some giveaway. It's money people earned through years of hard work.



Now, Trump and Musk want to rip that away to fund tax handouts for their billionaire buddies.



So here's my message for them: get your hands off our Social Security. pic.twitter.com/gRElBOFBh5 — Elizabeth Warren (@SenWarren) April 1, 2025

x LIHEAP—that's the federal Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program—helps tens of thousands of Arizonans with their AC bills in the hot summer months.



Gutting this program doesn't just mean higher utility bills—it puts lives at risk. pic.twitter.com/yjyZrgEkaq — Rep. Greg Stanton (@RepGregStanton) April 2, 2025

Protests and Protest signs!

x Protesters hold signs as they protest in Walnut Creek, Calif., on Saturday, March 29, 2025. About 2,000 people showed up to protest against Elon Musk and the current administration. #teslaprotest #tesla #teslatakedown #protest
