America: Universal healthcare creates wait times for healthcare. Also America: waits six months for a neurosurgeon consult and a year to get into a dermatologist…

Vaccines don’t prevent infection. Vaccines are meant to produce immunological memory and antibody production, so that when you get infected, your immune system can rapidly respond to eliminate the pathogen and prevent serious complications, including death. Vaccines don’t cause autism!

Go out and cause some good trouble. Let's get back to our founding documents we must mutually pledge, it's not left or right its good or wrong Madame President I yield the floor. - Corey Booker
i cant wait to read the full speech transcript... every time i tuned in i was incredibly impressed !!!
Thurmond was the same age as Booker when he set the record Senator Cory Booker just broke. Thurmond was afforded a bathroom break and read from the encyclopedia. Booker held the floor the entire time and delivered a consistent, cogent speech for more than 24 hours. Incredible.
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:

Dismantling CDC & HHS will lead to poorer health and unnecessary suffering and death. This is NOT the answer! Take a minute to tell your members of Congress we deserve better. It's quick & easy with APHA's action alert: www.votervoice.net/PublicHealth... #SpeakForHealth
It's a small thing in the scope of his speech, but I appreciate that Cory Booker has mentioned disabled people several times when talking about those impacted by this regime
Standing ovation on the Senate floor as Cory Booker thanks the staff and yields the floor. I told my kids: this is history. Don’t forget it.
