At 6:30am, Sen. Cory Booker & Rep. Hakeem Jeffries began a sit-in on the Capitol Steps, standing up for the millions this brutal GOP budget would hurt. They’re inviting everyone to share their story—their own moral moment. Hakeem is up next. My heart is full and breaking at once. This is democracy.
