Sen. Booker’s speech was a substantive and moral account of this moment. He did not read the phone book. He did not babble.

Made in Nicaragua.
They swapped it with a Made in America Dropkick Murphys tee.
Legendary.

Trump: "We're gonna be selling a gold card. You have a green card, this is a gold card. We're gonna put a price on that card of about $5 million and that's going to give you green card privileges, plus. It's gonna be a route to citizenship, and wealthy people will be coming into our country."
