Tributes are pouring in from across the globe for Reverend Jesse Jackson, who died on Tuesday. The civil rights icon and two-time presidential candidate was 84 years old. Democracy Now!'s Juan González recounts his experience as a reporter visiting Cuba and Puerto Rico alongside Jackson. "Jesse was always there when people were fighting for some form of social justice," says González. "Of all the U.S. leaders of the past half-century, I believe none had a more international view and a commitment to worldwide social justice as Jesse Jackson did."
Bishop William Barber, president and senior lecturer of Repairers of the Breach, met Jackson 40 years ago as a student when he asked to work with Jackson's student campaign during his 1984 presidential run. Jackson "was somebody that was serious about people uniting to save humanity — PUSHing — that he was serious about an agenda of uplift," says Barber.

The Trump administration has fired Consumer Financial Protection Bureau program manager Alexis Goldstein for documenting a meeting a year ago between the agency and Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE. "I have been on admin leave ever since, until I was fired last week," says Goldstein, who says the Trump administration's gutting of the CFPB removed key oversight of the financial industry. "So, essentially, no one is watching the biggest banks."
Goldstein is now running to represent Maryland's 6th Congressional District.

We continue our conversation with Texas Congressmember Al Green as he plans to reintroduce impeachment proceedings against President Trump over "infusing his hate into policy." Green currently represents Texas's 9th Congressional District, which was recently redistricted by the Texas state Legislature in favor of Republican voters. He says his seat, which he has held for over two decades, was targeted for redistricting in part because of his opposition to Trump. Green is now running for reelection in Texas's neighboring 18th Congressional District.
