To note one of the many knock-on effects this remarkable speech could have: So much of Booker's speech is, in content and form, a challenge about how much Democrats are willing to put themselves on the line. And the timing, 4 days before a Saturday of planned national protests, couldn't be better.
@markharris.bsky.socialI just tuned into the Booker live feed and after 22 hours he's speaking rapidly, passionately, furiously, and completely coherently.
By the way, last week, in impromptu remarks, Trump could not remember the word "criminal" and had to say "people of crime."
