Part One: Scott Braddock of the Quorum Report with our weekly update from the Lone Star State. Topics include: DACA, dreamers, the wall, Ken Paxton, the speaker’s race – and more!

Part Two: We speak with Donald Boesch from the University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science, on his recent piece at theconversation.com, “Trump’s Offshore Drilling Plans Ignore the Lesson of BP Deepwater Horizon.”

Professor Boesch served on the national commission that investigated the causes of the 2010 explosion at BP’s Deepwater Horizon oil rig. Eleven workers died and more than 4 million barrels of oil were released into the Gulf of Mexico.
