Incredible

  John, last night’s energy was incredible. We held a virtual grassroots “Ask Me Anything” and thousands of you attended. The energy in the room was palpable. We are standing up to make it clear that the lawlessness of the Trump administration is frustrating and unacceptable, and that…

I hope to see you there

I’m hosting a virtual grassroots event on Wednesday, May 14, 2025.   John, Over the past few weeks, I’ve held town halls everywhere from New Jersey to Arizona to Tennessee to hear directly from folks about their concerns with the current administration. Our nation may be in crisis, bu…

Chickenpox

  John — This Mother’s Day, I want to share a story about my mom. I was in the 7th grade and I had the chickenpox. I thought it was going to be a vacation from school, but soon it got really bad. It was the worst case my doctor had seen. It felt like I had thousands of needles stickin…

Cory told me I could reach out

I'm running for re-election to the U.S. Senate in Colorado   Hey John, I’m running for re-election to the U.S. Senate, and I hope you'll join me in the fight to give Colorado's priorities and values a voice in Washington. Let me tell you more about this decision, then will you split a …

We’re standing in the storm, together

Hold up your light.   John, In 2012, while Hurricane Sandy was decimating New Jersey, I spent one evening driving around looking for people who needed help.  Suddenly, in the dark of night, I saw a light coming through the top of the hill, swinging back and forth. As I got closer, I …

Here’s what I said on MSNBC

Trump’s government cuts aren’t helping anyone. They’re hurting us.   John, Last week, I spoke at an MSNBC town hall featuring fired federal workers. When I was asked about the Trump administration’s attempts to cut federal spending, I didn’t hold back: There’s nobody in the U.S. Sen…

  Stop. *Record scratch. Freeze frame.* You may be wondering how this kid on his father's shoulders:   Ended up here: As a United States Senator... Long before I ran for the Senate, I was an investigative journalist exposing war crimes, crooked judges, sexual slavery by ISIS, contra…

I won’t take up too much of your time

I’m counting on people like you to ensure I have the resources to hold the Trump administration accountable and defend our rights and freedoms.   Hey John, I don’t want to take too much of your time. Our end-of-month fundraising deadline is in just a few hours, and I’m counting on peo…

If we’ve learned one thing this month…

What a month!   Hey John — It’s been a busy month for Cory and our team. From his 25-hour floor speech… To his town hall in Arizona with Senator Mark Kelly, Gabby Giffords, and Rep. Greg Stanton… To his recent sit-in with Hakeem Jeffries at the U.S. Capitol… It’s been a busy April!…

Re: Cory’s birthday

Cory is determined to keep this movement alive.   John, On Saturday, thousands of you joined Jon Bon Jovi in wishing Cory a happy birthday. And on Sunday, we were hoping to surprise Cory with his birthday card to show him just how much it means to everyone that he’s standing up, speaki…

Join me in wishing Cory Booker a happy birthday!

  Hi John, it's Jon Bon Jovi! Tomorrow is a very special day, it is the birthday of my incredible friend and fellow Jersey Boy: Cory Booker! I have known Cory for decades now, but let me tell you, I was never as proud as when I saw him speak on the Senate floor earlier this month. Wa…

You've probably had this thought, John

Remember this, John   Hey John —  I recently attended a town hall meeting, and a man in the audience asked me the following question. Based on the audience's response to the question, I know he wasn’t the only one thinking this: “You know, we go to protests and we come to these events.…

I’m so proud of Cory Booker

  John — I’m so proud of my friend and colleague Cory Booker. His 25-hour filibuster was a remarkable feat. It is poetic that he broke the previous record set during the debate of the Civil Rights Act. Cory erased a racist pro-segregation speech from the Senate record books to give a …

Leaving you with something positive as you enjoy your weekend

  Hey John — I have a story that I will never, ever forget, so I thought I’d share it with you and leave you with something positive as you enjoy your weekend.  Last year, I was driving from Newark down to Washington D.C. when all of a sudden, there was a serious accident right in fro…

The alarm bells are ringing

How much longer will we let this go on before our democracy moves further and further from us?   John, I was in Arizona at a town hall over the weekend because we must hold our representatives accountable. Here’s what I told the audience in the packed room in Tucson:   I want to sound…

Yesterday in Arizona

We’re showing up.   John, Congressional Republicans are working hand-in-hand with the Trump administration to pass a bill that’s going to savage Medicaid and strip away critical programs from Americans in order to give bigger tax cuts to the wealthy — and they’re avoiding their own con…

We can’t let the flame go out

Every action can make a difference

Every action you take, no matter how small, will put us one step closer to winning this fight for our country.   John, First: Cory took a stand — lifting the voices of millions of Americans and speaking up for justice, opportunity, and freedom. Then: Tens of thousands of people took up…

For every Musk, there’s a Martin.

The power of the people is greater than the people in power.   John, For every Musk, there’s a Martin, a Medgar, a Malcolm — and millions of others who will stand for America even when they try to tear it down. I believe we are at another turning point in our country. This is not a pa…

I'm so proud of my son

I'm grateful that so many in this country are still willing to stand up and speak out for the values we believe in.   John, I'm Carolyn Booker, Cory Booker's mother. I’ve said before: behind every successful child is an astonished parent. This week was certainly no exception. I know Co…

“Impossible things against impossible odds”

  Hi John — Since Cory first took to the floor of the Senate on Monday night to speak, we’ve heard from thousands of people nationwide who believe in his message and want to keep up the fight, too. Lawrence O’Donnell spoke on his MSNBC show this week about the impact of this moment:  …

I'm grateful

No matter your cause, your age, your zip code — we all have a reason to speak out and fight back against Trump’s leadership.   Thank you, John. When I started my floor speech in the Senate on Monday night, I did it because the things that make our country different are under attack, a…

We must all lead out of the darkness

What Cory told Rachel Maddow:

  John, Earlier tonight, Cory stepped off the Senate floor after speaking for over 25 hours — breaking the previous record set by Senator Strom Thurmond in 1957 during his infamous filibuster of the Civil Rights Act. And just moments ago, he spoke with Rachel Maddow about why he chose…

I just stepped off the Senate floor

  John, I may be tired and a little hoarse, but as I said again and again, this is a moment where we cannot afford to be silent. We must speak up. I am filled with hope. My team just told me that tens of thousands of you have voiced your support for my remarks on the Senate floor. It …

Cory is still on the Senate floor.

  We’re emailing because Cory can’t right now. If you haven't been following, he's been on the floor of the United States Senate speaking all night, and he's still going. It's remarkable: Cory believes so strongly in his duty as New Jersey's senator that he cannot stay quiet and com…
