Patel is concealing self-incriminating information he gave to a grand jury in exchange for immunity. In 2022, he was compelled to testify as a jury witness about Trump’s mishandling of classified documents. He plead the Fifth, which every person has a right to do. So why does it matter if Patel did?

Sen. Cory Booker@booker.senate.govFeb 13(source)

Patel told the Judiciary Committee that “All FBI employees will be protected against political retribution.” Shortly after the hearing concluded, senior FBI officials were abruptly forced out, and thousands of rank and file personnel who worked on the Jan. 6th Capitol riot cases are at risk.

Sen. Cory Booker@booker.senate.govFeb 13(source)

I asked Patel whether he knew of any plans to fire officials at the FBI. Patel swore–under oath–that he did not. Now, there’s credible evidence that he not only knew of the firings—but that he personally directed them.

Sen. Cory Booker@booker.senate.govFeb 13(source)

Kash Patel is dangerous, dishonest, and unqualified – I am calling for President Trump to withdraw his nomination to be the Director of the FBI, and if his nomination is brought to the Senate floor, I will vote NO. Here’s why 🧵

Civil servants do everything they can to assist fellow citizens and improve their country day in and day out, often doing so much more than asked of them. We can, and should, find ways to improve our government without denigrating the service of others.

Democrats should not agree to replenish any funding into the USDA Commodity Credit Corporation until USDA releases ALL previously awarded grants to farmers.

Trump’s Funding Freeze Creates Chaos and Financial Distress for Farmers

Regenerative farming programs supported by the USDA are thrown into chaos as federal funding is put on pause.

As we begin the celebration of Black History Month, I am thinking of those who stood up, spoke out, and took action when they saw injustices in the world – people like my friend, John Lewis. Carrying that spirit and their legacy with me this month and always.

Sen. Cory Booker@booker.senate.govFeb 1(source)

Please join us in demanding that the State Department and White House fully and effectively resume the funding- Lives depend on it.

Sen. Cory Booker@booker.senate.govFeb 1(source)

Democrats and Republicans asked the new Secretary of State to release the funding and he agreed, BUT much of the aid still isn't flowing. Every hour this aid doesn't resume threatens lives. This is unacceptable and tragic.

Sen. Cory Booker@booker.senate.govFeb 1(source)

10 days in to the Trump Admin…and it’s chaos. Congressionally-approved funding for domestic & foreign aid has been FROZEN by Donald Trump. This includes money for fighting infectious diseases that could threaten Americans to global humanitarian aid like FOOD & WATER that saves countless lives.

I am shocked and heartbroken by the tragic plane crash at National Airport in D.C. last night. My heart is with the victims and their loved ones.

Sen. Cory Booker@booker.senate.govJan 29(source)

Impacts on New Jerseyans will be felt in the hours, days, and weeks ahead. My office is committed to doing everything we can to support people, but I strongly urge the Trump administration to consider the harm they are already doing.

State Universities – A significant portion of the budget for our state universities are funded with federal dollars. Outside of providing an education, these universities oversee invaluable research, employ thousands, and are pillars of our state.

Sen. Cory Booker@booker.senate.govJan 29(source)

Domestic Violence Shelters - Federal funding for hotlines, shelters, and legal counsel for survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault is frozen. If this continues, there will be reduced resources for those looking to leave abusive situations.

Sen. Cory Booker@booker.senate.govJan 29(source)

Firefighters – Federal grants pay for trainings and equipment that ensure firefighters can do their job to protect lives and property across New Jersey.

Sen. Cory Booker@booker.senate.govJan 29(source)

Community Health Centers – 578,000 New Jerseyans currently receive care from community health centers. As we deal with the spread of the flu, RSV, norovirus, and other infectious diseases, our health centers may not make payroll in just a few weeks.

Sen. Cory Booker@booker.senate.govJan 29(source)

Veterans – Many programs in our state that provide meals and support to our homeless veterans are immediately in danger of running out of funding. Families of veterans may see a pause in rental assistance and other support.

Sen. Cory Booker@booker.senate.govJan 29(source)

All day, my office has fielded calls regarding the funding for programs and services that Trump has unconstitutionally sought to freeze. Here are just some of the communities in New Jersey facing the consequences of the administration’s recklessness. 🧵
