Cory Booker made #KentanjiBrownJackson cry today as he spoke passionately about racial progress. “You are worthy.” “You faced insults here that were shocking to me. But don’t you worry my sister. Don’t worry. God has got you. How do I know that? Because you’re here.” Close up of Judge Jackson w...
“And I know what it’s taken for you to sit in that seat” Booker said. I’m crying, too. For all the truth in the Senator from New Jersey’s speech. Do yourself a favor and watch the 5 minutes from Senator Booker here.
If you really want to go deep, watch the whole 20:09 minutes. I would vote for Cory Booker for anything, but would love to see him in the White House one day.
“Today you are my star. My harbinger of hope. This country is getting better and better.” Cory Booker is ready to rejoice. “The United States is better because of you.” Don’t let anyone steal your joy seeing this amazingly qualified, dignified judge ascend to SCOTUS.

Here we go. Late Friday update on #Ukraine from President Biden.
Biden is saying Russian media is making phony fabrications of genocide in Ukraine. ”To set up a false justification to act against Ukraine”- he says Ukrainian troops are showing great restraint after being baited by Russia. He says an attack could come any day.
He says Russia can still avoid war through diplomacy. He cites a meeting next week between Secretary of State Blinken and Lavrov unless Russia attacks before that. “Russia has a choice between war and all the suffering it will bring, or diplomacy.”
