Date: 2025-07-03
Senator Cory Booker won the special election to represent New Jersey in the US Senate, in October 2013 and was re-elected in November 2014. Senator Booker is the 9th Black person elected to the US Senate ever, and the first Black Senator ever elected from New Jersey. He’s one of 4 Black members of Congress currently representing New Jersey and one of 6 ever to do so.
During his tenure, Senator Cory Booker has sponsored 12 bills that have been enacted into law and 143 in the 119th Congress. Senator Booker serves on the Committee on Foreign Relations and as Ranking member on the Africa and Global Health Policy and member of the Europe and Regional Security Cooperation and Near East, South Asia, Central Asia, and Counterterrorism subcommittees of that committee. He also serves on the Senate Committee on the Judiciary and as Ranking Member on the Antitrust, Competition Policy, and Consumer Rights and member of the Border Security and Immigration, the Constitution and the Crime and Counterterrorism Subcommittees of that committee. Finally, Senator Cory Booker also serves on the Senate Committee on Small Business and Entrepreneurship and the Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition, and Forestry.
Senator Cory Booker is a frequent user of social media and often makes appearances in the media. During the discussion of the Senate’s consideration of the billionaires’ blowout bill, Senator Booker has posted one or more shorts daily. I’ll post a few below, and refer you otherwise to his YouTube site.

We won't let them forget it. — Senator Angela Alsobrooks (@alsobrooks.senate.gov) 2025-07-01T03:28:03.038Z
x We’ve been voting for nearly 24 hours trying to stop this Big Ugly Bill. 16 million Americans’ health care is on the line—this bill is bad news for the country. There’s too much at stake to do nothing. — Senator Reverend Raphael Warnock (@warnock.senate.gov) 2025-07-01T10:42:20.710Z

Carter, Sr. (@reptroycarter.bsky.social) 2025-07-02T01:57:43.038Z

x Rep. Sykes is headed to the House Rules Committee to offer an amendment that would cut all of the harmful Medicaid changes out of this bill and protect healthcare for millions of Americans.

x Republicans can't even get their members to vote on a simple procedural amendment for their reconciliation bill. They are their own problem today. Every Democrat is here & ready to vote.

Lucy McBath (@mcbath.house.gov) 2025-07-02T21:42:22.626Z
Around 9 PM:
x At this point, this is not a legislative debate, it is a hostage situation.

So, bleeding (literally) now into -
Thursday (Jul 3):
Around 3:30 AM the House opened for 1 hour debate. (There will be more in the comments.)
x Back speaking on the House floor at 3:45am because budgets are a statement of values — with this big, ugly bill Republicans have none. Americans will suffer. Americans will die. And it will be at the hands of the Republicans who vote yes. This budget is shameful. I’m a hell no! — Congressman Gabe Amo (@amo.house.gov) 2025-07-03T08:30:08.564Z

Leader Hakeem Jeffries is reading letters from constituents in every state, in alphabetical order, about what Medicaid, the ACA, etc. mean to them, and noting who their Representatives are. Leader Jeffries says. “I’m going to take my sweet time”. (At 6 AM ET (Thurs), he’s reading letters from Iowa). At 6:47 AM, Leader Hakeem Jeffries has completed this segment of Michigan, and says he’s only halfway through the stories about the attacks on Medicaid, and that he’ll continue with “stories that need to be told” about food assistance, small businesses, veterans, immigrants, etc..
Town Halls:
(Town halls planned by House members were postponed).
x Honored to host a town hall for Veterans today. Many of the patriots I spoke to today were deeply concerned about cuts to Medicaid and the VA — standing up for them in the Senate against the attacks on their health care is one of the most important parts of my work. — Sen. Cory Booker (@booker.senate.gov) 2025-07-02T23:16:24.422Z
Media appearances:
x From the devastating cuts to rural hospitals, to the terrible backroom deals for special interest tax breaks — the Republican budget bill represents everything that is wrong with Washington D.C. — Rep. Joe Neguse (@neguse.house.gov) 2025-07-03T04:10:48.064Z
x The Republican Reconciliation bill is a tragedy for America’s working families. It will strip health care from 12 million people. It will slash funding for food + health care at historic levels. And it will add trillions to the national debt—pushing the country closer to a dangerous debt spiral. — Ritchie Torres (@ritchietorres.bsky.social) 2025-07-02T19:06:22.657Z
x Republicans value MAKING BILLIONAIRES WEALTHIER. Joined Ali Vital @waytooearly.bsky.social to call out how Republicans are forcing Rhode Islanders to make horrific choices between health care and feeding their kids if the big, ugly bill becomes law. — Congressman Gabe Amo (@amo.house.gov) 2025-07-02T18:23:34.478Z
