Cory BookerNever let your soul be silenced. Live life out loud. Every day tell your truth not with words but with actions from your heart.
Cory BookerI visited the Ethiopian National Project which was created by the government to fully integrate Ethiopian Jews into Israel's society.

Cory BookerIf Donald Trump governs the way he campaigned, it'll be a disastrous presidency. This is a chance for him to be magnanimous, humble. To work across the aisle.

Cory BookerAny Democrat running is trying to get that Barack Obama coalition, which is an increasingly diverse voter base. It's young folks. It's minorities, as well as white women.
