Summary

It's another intense week in Washington, D.C., and Maria and Julio are back to break down the latest. They talk about the chaotic Supreme Court confirmation hearings for Brett Kavanaugh, what the end of the Flores Agreement means for minors crossing the border and, of course, the New York Times op-ed on resistance within the White House.

"Whose resistance is it anyway?" asks The Atlantic.
From Slate: why Kavanaugh should be impeached instead of confirmed.
