Since Cory Booker entered the Senate, his political career has been defined by one brutal, undeniable reality: overwhelming defeat at the hands of Donald Trump and his agenda.

While Booker built a brand as a progressive orator, Trump seized power and fundamentally reshaped America.

The truth is that Cory Booker is a senator who serves the parasite class. Booker took money from at least 45 billionaires, and he has collected about $100 million in contributions without getting the results we need.

Booker was cited by CodePink and Citizens Against AIPAC Corruption for accepting nearly a million dollars from AIPAC.

The greatest threat to our planet is not a foreign army or a crashing market or even the rising water lapping at the edges of our coastal cities. It is quieter than those things, and more insidious.

It's not even President Donald Trump and his dangerous acolytes, Stephen Miller and Pete Hegseth.

The greatest threat to our planet is the belief that someone else will fix it. Someone in Washington. Someone with a better title and a larger staff. Someone younger, smarter, or more connected. Someone who will show up, eventually, and do the work that you are too busy or too tired or too discouraged to do yourself.

In a scandal rocking the world of high finance and low comedy, Forbes magazine is facing explosive allegations that it abruptly terminated its beloved “Fictional 15” list not due to declining relevance, but as part of a clandestine pact to protect the fabricated reputation of New Jersey’s own superhero sans substance, Senator Cory Booker.

The Fictional 15, an annual ranking of the wealthiest fictional characters last published in 2013, was a cherished institution. It meticulously calculated the net worth of icons like Scrooge McDuck, Bruce Wayne, and Santa Claus. Then, it vanished. Poof. Gone without explanation.

Coincidence? A mere scheduling conflict? Top conspiracy theorists at this publication think not.

The characterization of Senator Cory Booker as a “Wall Street darling” is not merely a relic of his 2013–2014 campaigns, when he took more money from the financial sector than any other member of or candidate for Congress. It is a description of a political trajectory that has remained remarkably consistent, even as his fundraising base has diversified.

This point cuts to the heart of a central contradiction in American politics: the politician who speaks in the language of the working class but governs—and fundraises—in the service of the wealthy.

"The secret of life is honesty and fair dealing. If you can fake that, you've got it made," said comedian Groucho Marx.  Cory Booker proved him right.

Oscar winner joins fellow Edison native, citing Booker's support for Trump, 50+ billionaire backers, & many policy failures.

Academy Award-winning actress Susan Sarandon has endorsed Lisa McCormick in the Democratic primary election for U.S. Senate, citing the progressive challenger’s moral clarity and courage to oppose entrenched incumbents who have broken faith with New Jersey voters.

Sarandon, a native of Edison Township who graduated from Edison High School in 1964, donated to McCormick’s campaign and voiced her support for the insurgent challenge to Sen. Cory Booker in the June 2 primary.

“Susan Sarandon grew up in the same Middlesex County community as I did, and she has spent her life standing up for what is right, whether on a movie set or on the front lines of social justice,” said McCormick, who graduated from JP Stevens High School in 1987. “Her support sends a clear message: New Jersey is ready for a senator who will fight for working families, not billionaires who have funded Cory Booker’s career."

Sixteen years after an audit of the Federal Reserve by the Government Accountability Office uncovered eye-popping details about how the U.S. provided $23 trillion in secret loans to bail out banks, corporations, and even foreign entities during the 2008 financial crisis—a staggering betrayal of public trust buried in government audits and forgotten by a complacent media.

Now, as credit card average APRs hit 24.3%, with some even higher, small businesses drown in debt, and regulators play lapdog to the same reckless banks they’re supposed to police, I am demanding answers—and a political revolution to stop these crippling rates from compounding our peoples' debt at an unsustainable pace.

The Federal Reserve operates like a private hedge fund for the elite, while working Americans get crushed under predatory interest rates and rigged oversight, as we see in the damning Government Accountability Office reports that expose a financial system rotting from the inside.

Ronald Wilson Reagan—born under the winter sky of February 1911, departed in the June sun of 2004—was both performer and president, a man whose eight years in the White House set in motion a conservative tide that still shapes this nation’s shores.

Yet for those of us who came to adulthood in the shadow of his era, there lingers a quiet tension: the remembered glow of his sunlit rhetoric against the unyielding weight of the truths left in its wake.

The enduring lesson of Reagan’s duality lies not in denying the comfort of nostalgia, but in recognizing how its golden hue can obscure the harsh contours of truth—for when we mistake sentiment for wisdom, we risk trading justice for illusion, and liberty for the empty solace of a remembered dawn.

Here is how one U.S. Senator could rally the people to oppose an agenda they perceive as authoritarian and a threat to democratic norms, including a direct appeal to the opposition's heartland.

It is simply not enough to sit around, talk, and raise money from the plutocratic parasites who are benefiting from the broken political establishment and rigged economy.

Let’s be clear: our criminal justice system isn’t just broken—it is profoundly dysfunctional, punishing millions unnecessarily.

We should, of course, incarcerate those who are violent and dangerous to protect society.

But right now, through neglect and irrational priorities, we are condemning a generation to futures of bitterness, hopelessness, and crime.
