In humble acknowledgement of the anniversary of The Seneca Falls Convention, where women collectively gathered for the first time to discuss their constitutionally guaranteed rights to be equal to men as U.S. citizens… And in recognition of all the
struggle and strain;
heartache and pain;
dedication and determination; resilience and resistance;
and courageous conviction it took to advance change.

As we celebrate Black History Month, I want to make sure we celebrate the some Black history still being made just this week:

At the Grammys, Beyoncé became the most awarded artist ever and Viola Davis earned her EGOT, an incredible and well-deserved feat. For the first time at a Super Bowl, two Black quarterbacks, Jalen Hurts and Patrick Mahomes, will start against one another – 35 years after Doug Williams became the first Black quarterback to start and win a Super Bowl.

I believe in the power of teams.

Here is to rugged individualism and self-reliance. But rugged individualism didn't beat the Nazis or get us to the moon or map the human genome. We did those things because of our teams. Since I began in sports I have believed in the acronym: TEAM, Together Everyone Achieves More.

I love the examples all throughout nature:

"By flying together in a v-formation, scientists estimate that a flock of birds can fly about 70% farther with the same amount of energy…

Too many farmers in America are struggling. Our Federal Farm Bill's massive corporate factory farm subsidies are hurting too many. There are so many in our country like @IronboundFarm who are trying to forge a different way. Many are focusing on more regenerative practices and/or local food systems that support farmers, healthy food, strong environmental practices, humane treatment of animals, good pay and dignity for farm workers, and more.

The past year has been a deeply moving, transformative experience for me—and much of that is because of our incredible team. They poured their hearts into our mission. None of this would have been possible without them. To our incredible Iowa team, who brought #HopeHypeHustle each day on the trail—you inspired me from the very beginning with your creativity and joy. I see you, I love you.

Today is the deadline for the DNC's December debate qualifying threshold—and while I may not be on the debate stage next Thursday, thanks to the outpouring of support over the past few weeks, we know there’s a path to victory, and we no longer need the debate stage to get there. The voters deserve to decide who the Democratic nominee should be, and I know that together, we can win this race.

Next week, I’ll be on the road hearing directly from and sharing my vision with the people who will determine the outcome of this race—the way it should be.

Today I crossed the US-Mexico border in El Paso with @fams2gether and @LasAmericasIAC to help five women present themselves for asylum. These are my observations. Please don't look away. One of them shared that she spent one month in detention. While there, she said the entire detention center had to stand in the sun all day without food, just water—but sometimes they ran out of water too.

The Alabama abortion ban is part of a coordinated, all-out effort to erode women’s reproductive rights and freedom nationwide. But let me be clear: Women shouldn't have to face this fight alone. Men, it's on us to speak out too. It's on us to take action.

Not because women are our mothers, wives, daughters. Because women are people. And all people deserve to control their own bodies.

The failed War on Drugs has really been a war on people—disproportionately criminalizing poor people, people of color & people with mental illness. I’m reintroducing the #MarijuanaJustice Act to begin reversing our failed federal drug policies. Join us: act.corybooker.com/page/s/justice… The Marijuana Justice Act doesn’t just end the federal prohibition on marijuana—it also incentivizes states to change their marijuana laws if those laws are being enforced in a way that disproportionately impacts people of color and the poor.

I want to take a couple minutes and share a few thoughts about why I’m running for president: The promise of our country, that this is a country that works for everyone, is hanging in the balance. When we should be coming together to take on our biggest challenges, there are forces at work trying to split us apart.

Regarding this Supreme Court vacancy: among the many consequential issues at stake, there is clearly a potential conflict of interest for President @realDonaldTrump. 1/ The President of the United States is a subject of an ongoing criminal investigation – an investigation that every member of the Judiciary Committee knows could end up before the Supreme Court. 2/
