US EditionSen. Cory Booker in angry outburst says ‘complicit’ Democrats need a ‘wake-up call’
WASHINGTON, DC, JUL 30 – Senator Booker accused Democrats of enabling President Trump's agenda and blocked police funding bills to ensure grants are distributed without political bias, risking delays in critical law enforcement aid.
- Sen. Cory Booker objected on July 30, 2025, to a package of seven bipartisan bills addressing local law enforcement funding on the Senate floor.

- Booker offered amendments to five bills aimed at preventing politicization of grant distribution but withdrew them after clashes with Senators Cortez Masto and Klobuchar.
- He declared, "It's time for us to fight," and accused Democrats of being "complicit," while Cortez Masto responded, "Why would we do something today that's playing into the president's politics?"
- After Booker withdrew his objections, the legislation passed, highlighting tensions within the Democratic caucus over responding to Trump-era policies.
