Although, compared to his other cases going he's investigated for this seems like the lesser offence but it's the first to get the ball rolling of actual accountability.

    Midterms Tug of War

    Midterms Tug of War

    Midterms are upon us, and it is neither a blue nor a red wave but a fight for a close tie of Congress. I focus on the battle states and how some senators and representatives got there. Republicans are infighting about the turnout and questioning about the party's future with Trump.

A Supreme Court with newly appointed Justices by the previous president didn't try to block the law but said it can be challenged. The actions after the bill passed set a precedent throughout the country of what other states can pass to question rulings while other lawmakers are writing their bills to challenge Texas.

    Forgetting Racial History

    Forgetting Racial History

    This summer Critical Race Theory was a trending term. A topic about racial history being taught in school was the forefront of the news as, hateful, Republican lawmakers passed legislation to remove it out of public education.

This podcast alone is about structural racism of the United States and this episode outlines other attempts at white-washing and the consequences of nations forgetting their past and sugar coating atrocities. It's a short episode but imperative.
