Having the Courage to "Make Good Trouble"

The Lincoln Project

The Elephant in the Room this week is a welcome one -- it's courage. Rick reflects on the positive events of this week, highlighting Cory Booker's strength, courage, and conviction as he rewrote history by beating Strom Thurmond's record while sharing stories about what America has become under the current Trump administration. In the absence of fear, courage would not exist. Cory beating out a racist's former filibuster record is risky, but it's the kind of courage Americans need right now. To shake things up and to find the courage to make "good trouble." John Lewis would be so proud.
