The last word with Lawrence O'Donnell starts right now. Jen, I am in the middle of uh Judge Charles Briar's opinion uh that is a total victory for Gavin Newsome as we heard uh the governor uh telling us uh during your hour and of course you've reported that the Trump administration is already appealing this.

Democratic Senator Chris Murphy of Connecticut. Welcome, Senator. Um, thanks for having me. Your reaction, your thoughts to the day. Well, I mean, listen, this is got to be put in context.
