The Systematic Vanishing of Competent Officials

The Systematic Vanishing of Competent Officials

John discusses Ras Baraka, mayor of Newark NJ and candidate in a June gubernatorial primary, being arrested by ICE agents for trespassing after demanding entrance at a facility in his city. Then, he talks about Trump firing the Librarian of Congress - Carla Hayden saying she is woke, anti-Trump, and promotes trans-ing kids. And, he speaks about a federal judge who ordered the immediate release of Tufts student Rumeysa Ozturk, who was arrested off the street and imprisoned for weeks by ICE agents for no clear reason. He welcomes back TV's Frank Conniff to joke with listeners about pop culture and the latest wickedness from Trump's autocracy.
