It’s impeachment round two, and yes, we are exhausted! But this is about so much more than just Donald Trump. This impeachment trial is about democracy.

Then, Thom Hartmann joins for a discussion about oligarchy vs democracy, the political and historical importance of this impeachment, and the racist origins of the filibuster.

Later, Judd Legum and Akela Lacy look at Neera Tanden's OMB confirmation, and how Amazon workers are attempting to unionize, despite tremendous effort from the corporation to discourage labor organizing. If this works out, it could have a great ripple effect, as other warehouses unionize too.
