The gang is joined by immigration attorney, Kara Lynum, who shares a story about her trip to the border. An interesting, spicy week in divisive politics on a national level. The government is reopened. The Covington Kids and what exactly does the MAGA hat really mean? In Minnesota news, some interesting bills were introduced on the capitol floor, and a special election takes place. 

Brian, Amy, and Javier are joined by Labor Lobbyist, Laura Sayles this week. Recapping Plaid Prom and Amy's newfound activism. Ilhan Omar is a little irresponsible with her words at best and cringey at worst. Trump's lack luster catering event that's catching some flack, and Steve King's not-so-secret, secret. 

The shutdown continues. Chuck and Nancy look like they took the log flume. Trump doubles down and is all in, at the same time, with his address. Amy Klobuchar can't get a meeting, so she takes to Twitter to deem it, 'uncool.' The legislature is back in session, it was a quiet week, aside from a fight over the rules. Remembering an Iron Range legend, Tom Rukavina. Beto takes a trip to the dentist, and no one cares. 

The gang is back in 2019! Swearing in the new class of representatives in DC was not the only use of that term this week. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez continues to bother people for unwarranted reasons. Buckle up, Elizabeth Warren will be running in 2020. Oh, and the shutdown is still happening. In Minnesota news, legislature is back in session starting next week and Garrison Keillor is leaving town.
