24 hours and 20 minutes

That is how long Senator Cory Booker from New Jersey spoke in his record-breaking Senate speech that ended on Tuesday. It was mostly a 24-hour rant against the Trump administration.

That is how much the Snow White movie plummeted in ticket sales in its second weekend. It was expected to stay in the number one spot, despite its lackluster ticket sales, but the film “A Working Man,” surpassed the Disney film by earning $15.2 million. It also has one of the lowest IMDB rating ever at 1.5 out of 10.

$43 million

That is the final figure for how much Snow White made in its opening weekend at the box office. That is worse than the $45 million that was originally projected and one of Disney’s worst opening weekends for a film ever. That figure is even crappier when you consider that Snow White is among the top 15 most expensive films ever made with a budget of $270 million.

Among the gangs they sent to the United States, is Tren de Aragua, which has been given the designation of ‘Foreign Terrorist Organization.’ We are in the process of returning them to Venezuela — It is a big task! In addition, Venezuela has been very hostile to the United States and the Freedoms which we espouse.”
