Start your morning with two minutes of the testimony of Samuel Garcia, an average American who drove 3 hours to speak truth to power to the Texas legislature. Let’s decide that we are all Samuel Garcia. Get in their faces and make them listen. Mr. Garcia is a great American.

Republicans have the numbers to impeach Trump in the House and convict him in the Senate. From here on out, they are complicit with everything he does.

President Donald Trump told NASCAR drivers that investor Charles Schwab profited significantly from recent market volatility. “It’s not just a company, it’s actually an individual,” Trump said while introducing Schwab. “He made two and a half billion today.”

Sen. Booker just broke the record for the longest floor speech in Senate history—a record set by Strom Thurmond trying to block the Civil Rights Act. The irony ain’t lost on us. From fighting against justice to fighting for it. This is what courage & being on the right side of history looks like!
