Show Notes

The battle is on in Texas, where Republicans voted to issue civil arrest warrants for Democrats who fled the state to stop plans to redistrict the congressional map. Texas Democrats involved say they're “running into the fight to stand up for our democracy.” Former Democratic Congressman Joe Kennedy, grandson of Robert F. Kennedy, says his party is failing to meet many voters where they are. With that in mind, he started "Groundwork Project," a non-profit aiming to rebuild Democratic values in four key red states. He joins the show from Boston. 

Also on today's show: Carlos Dada, El Salvadorian Journalist and Founder, El Faro; author Garret Graff ("The Devil Reached Toward the Sky"); Setsuko Thurlow, Hiroshima atomic bomb survivor
