  • Resumen

  • A new executive order scaling back staff and functions at government entities, including the Minority Business Development Agency, dropped just hours after enough Democrats in the senate voted with Republicans to keep the government open. South Carolina Congressman Jim Clyburn voted "no" when the bill was in the House. He joins Victor to share his opinion of Senator Chuck Schumer’s leadership in this moment. Plus, Victor speaks with attorney Ramzi Kassem, a member of Mahmoud Khalil’s legal team. They’re fighting for the release of the activist who was arrested at protests over the war in Gaza at Columbia University last year, as the Trump administration vows a broader crackdown on pro-Palestinian protesters. Later, Victor speaks with Pulitzer-prize winner Nikole Hannah-Jones about the “African American Read-in" she's organizing for her hometown today, after an event for first graders during Black History Month was canceled. An attorney helping representing tribes and students in a lawsuit over federal cuts to tribal schools, Jacqueline De León, shares with Victor what the impacts have been. And the leaders of Baltimore Center stage say they’re sticking with their commitment to Diversity, Equity and Inclusion despite the risk to their federal funding. Victor speaks with Adam Frank, the theater's Managing Director, and Stevie Walker-Webb, the theater's Artistic Director. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
