Summary
Now is the time for the House of Representatives to offer a second Article of Impeachment against Trump for nakedly violating the First Amendment, and for the Republicans in the Senate, who should now see the terrible mistake they made the last time they had this opportunity, to remove him from office before he can do any more damage to our nation.
Amy Goodman from Democracy Now, was arrested during protests in St. Paul in 2008 and talks about how the MN police have a history of mistreating journalists.
For the Book Club, Thom reads from "Notes on a Nervous Planet" by Matt Haig, and "The Inner Level: How More Equal Societies Reduce Stress, Restore Sanity and Improve Everyone's Well-Being" by Kate Pickett and Richard G. Wilkinson.

| 0:47.6 | for a blasphemous photo op holding a Bible |
| 0:51.3 | in front of the church, the St. John's Church, this is mind-boggling. |
| 0:58.0 | It was a peaceful demonstration reported by every news agency, including an Australian one. This is huge news in |
| 1:05.4 | Australia and an Australian reporter got tear-gassed and beat up. And today |
| 1:09.2 | he's going to the shrine to St. John Paul II, a guy that Louise and I actually met and had a private |
