Cory Booker and Hakeem Jeffries Live on the steps of the Capitol
Started streaming 4 hours ago
For millions of Americans, Sundays are a day of faith, spirituality, and moral reflection. In that spirit, today, just before dawn, Senator Cory Booker and Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries sat down on the steps of the US Capitol and began an urgent, live-streamed conversation with the American people to focus on our common values, our faith traditions, and the moral moment our nation is in.
With Congress returning to session tomorrow, Republican leaders have made clear their intention to use the coming weeks to advance a budget bill to President Trumps desk that seeks to gut Medicaid, food stamps, and other safety net programs that help people afford the basics all to help pay for tax cuts for the nation's most wealthy. Given whats at stake, these could be some of the most consequential weeks for seniors, kids, and families in generations. Booker and Jeffries believe extraordinary action is necessary to counter this extraordinary threat.

Warnock: I hear people attack poor people and act like its a crime to be poor, rather than to recognize its criminal for so many people to be poor. They do all of this in the name of Jesus Jesus is the biggest victim of identity theft in the United States
