headed to Washington D.C. for a media row with Democratic representatives: some of whom were at the forefront of the impeachment, some of whom are surrogates for 2020 hopefuls, and some of whom are leading efforts on issues like healthcare, racial equality and the environment.

In the wake of the Impeachment, what can be done to restore Americans' faith in Democratic processes?The framers had this brilliant idea where they wanted a government of the people, by the people, and for the people. The people are the ones who have the power and they built a system that had three equal branches of government, where one could check the other. The people should be angry when someone invites a foreign power to give themselves an advantage.
"I want an administration that speaks against racism and white nationalism. I want an administration who speaks for the importance of education, that believes in the Violence Against Women Act... Mr. President, will you talk about those things?" - Sheila Jackson Lee
