From voting rights to civil rights, everything we're fighting for hinges on whether Democrats will kill the filibuster or leave democracy at the mercy of the conservative movement.
Georgia Fort is On the Clock to discuss yet another case of police murder and why Democrats need to pass the "For the People" Act.
We're also joined by Mary Angela Perna, Professor Harvey Kaye, and more.
Rebecca and James are in the house as always to help move the conversation forward.
