To mark Earth Day’s Planet vs. Plastics theme this year I reintroduced my Protecting Communities from Plastics Act, which will tackle the plastic production crisis that is fueling climate change and perpetuating environmental injustice.
To those in New Jersey celebrating Passover, wishing you a joyous Seder filled with meaningful traditions, blessings, and love. Chag Sameach!
On Earth Day, let’s renew our commitment to cherish and protect our beautiful yet fragile planet. While we’ve made progress, the urgent need for more robust climate action is vital to the health of our planet. It’s our responsibility to safeguard this magnificent Pale Blue Dot.
The failed War on Drugs continues to be a war on people. We need to pass comprehensive cannabis reform that includes restorative justice.
In the 25 years since the mass shooting at Columbine, we as legislators have failed to keep our students and teachers safe from the gun violence epidemic this country faces. We must not stop fighting for gun safety reform until America’s classrooms are a safe haven for all.
The Oklahoma City Bombing is a terrifying example of the threat of domestic terrorism this country has faced and continues to face. We all must continue to support efforts to curb domestic terrorism and combat hatred in our society.
From asthma inhalers to cancer drug treatments, Democrats have successfully lowered costs despite intense opposition from the GOP and Big Pharma. We must build on our progress and deliver savings for Americans.
It was an honor to meet with @clarekabale and hear about the work she and @CFE_Uganda are doing to defend the rights of LGBTQIA+ Ugandans. I will continue to condemn the draconian Anti-Homosexuality Act that was passed in Uganda last year.
17 years ago a shooter walked on to Virginia Tech’s campus and committed a senseless act of gun violence, taking 32 innocent lives. Once again, we remember one of many school shootings that haunt this country, permitted by the failure of to pass meaningful gun safety legislation.
Today marks one year since war broke out in Sudan, causing unimaginable suffering and one of the fastest growing humanitarian crises in the world. After hearing directly from Sudanese refugees in the region, I reiterate my call for all parties to immediately lay down their arms.
Continued fighting in El Fasher risks significant civilian harm and a worsening displacement crisis when people are already in desperate need of food, water, and medicine. I call on the RSF to end the siege and call on them, the SAF and its aligned fighters to respect IHL and…
Deeply concerned about reports of escalating conflict in El Fasher, Sudan, which risks significant harm to civilians and an exacerbation of the already dire humanitarian situation. I call on all armed parties to lay down their arms now.

The break-in at the Center for Islamic Life at Rutgers University on Eid is sickening. Rutgers students and the Muslim community deserve to gather and worship in safety. We must stand together against this hate.

@SenBooker Thank you @SenBooker for spreading awareness this #WorldPolioDay! We appreciate your support!
Excellent to see @politico covering @SenBooker & @JoaquinCastrotx’s call for @USAID to do more to prioritize innovation, including by scaling up funding for the agency’s most effective programs.
.@SenBooker has introduced a slate of legislation to support the rural economy, environment, and farmers and their families.
In the face of global crises, global solutions are needed more than ever. As individuals, we can play an important role in ensuring that no one is left behind. We must all be the change. Share this thread to help spread the word! #WorldFoodDay2022

Between 2020 and 2021, child poverty fell dramatically for all children and gaps in poverty rates between racial and ethnic groups narrowed. For Black children, poverty fell from 17.2% in 2021 to 8.3% in 2020. For Latino children, it fell from 14.7% to 8.4%.
The #ChildTaxCredit expansion lifted 2.1 million children out of poverty in 2021. This included 752,000 Latino children, 650,000 white children, 600,000 Black children, and 56,000 Asian children, Census calculated. See Table 2 here: census.gov/library/storie…
The #ChildTaxCredit expansion drove a record-breaking drop in child poverty: from 9.7% in 2020 to 5.2% in 2021. Without the expansion, it would have been 8.1% in 2021 & 2.1 million more kids would have been in poverty, Census calculated. census.gov/library/storie…
The decision to create a sentencing disparity between crack & powder cocaine was a mistake that has had devastating consequences for far too many Americans. It’s time for the Senate to right this wrong and pass the EQUAL Act—eliminating this sentencing disparity once and for all.
"For decades after Congress passed the 1986 Anti-Drug Abuse Act, one ratio illustrated the unfairness of the criminal justice system: 100 to 1." Must-read from the @washingtonpost editorial board on the injustice of the powder vs. crack cocaine disparity: washingtonpost.com/opinions/2022/…

.@SenatorTester next time I see you, it's on!
Overdraft fees can often mean the difference between buying groceries or making rent for America’s most vulnerable families. The Senate should pass my and @SenBooker’s bill to stop giant banks from making billions off abusive overdraft practices. bloomberg.com/graphics/2022-…
Tune in as I deliver remarks on my plan to bring student loan debt relief to the millions of borrowers who need it the most. x.com/i/broadcasts/1…
The Inflation Reduction Act will position America to meet my climate goals, saving families hundreds of dollars a year on energy costs. And for families that take advantage of clean energy and electric vehicle tax credits – they could see more than twice the savings.
