Senator Michael Bennett ripped Ted Cruz today on the Senate floor during the debate to open the government: "These crocodile tears that the senator from Texas is crying for first responders are too hard for me to take...because when the senator from Texas shut this government down in 2013, my state was flooded. It was underwater. People were killed. People’s houses were destroyed. Their small businesses were ruined, forever."

MLK Day has turned into a day of breakfasts and volunteerism as opposed to answer the prophetic call of MLK to action that challenges systemic injustice. We hear a lot of the lighter inspirational quotes, which are good and well, but don't complete the picture of King and his challenge to us just as relevant today as during his lifetime.
