Abstract

Fighting off attacks from his own political base over the non-release of the Jeffrey Epstein files, President Trump uses the pretext of a crime emergency to orchestrate a federal takeover of Washington DC’s police Department and removal of homeless people from the district. Montgomery County Executive Marc Elrich invites two Vanderbilt University law professors to strengthen his hands against the County Council’s new law to ease zoning restrictions. Penn State entomologist Julie Urban on what to do when you see a lanternfly and what experts are doing. And more. Music by Anna Rubin.
