This week, hosts Tiffany Cross, Angela Rye, and Andrew Gillum give a brief update on the Trump circus and his recent interview with Time Magazine.

Then onto news you won’t see on cable: what if hundreds of people–mostly Black men–were being slowly and painfully killed, and the government was in on it? An update on state-sanctioned lethal injections.

And guess who’s hiring? Police forces across the country, which have seen an increase in their ranks for the first time since 2020.

We’ve seen those police hard at work on college campuses, where they’ve been breaking up encampments as they arrest hundreds of students protesting the war in Gaza. The hosts unpack what we’re seeing unfold at schools across the country.

In Georgia, the battleground state is grappling with a new voter suppression law that could disenfranchise thousands and have dire consequences for the Biden administration.

Then, in Politics Are Everywhere, Tiffany delivers her signature sports expertise. There are big changes coming to how we watch NBA games; Tiffany has the details.

And of course, we’ll hear from you, our #NLPFan listeners. We are 186 days away from the election.

Welcome home y’all!

We are 15 episodes in and this week, hosts Andrew Gillum, Angela Rye, and Tiffany Cross start with the latest in Trump’s many legal woes. The Stormy Daniels "hush money" trial started on Monday. You’re forgiven if you can’t remember what that one is even about– we got you– plus implications for the Trump presidential campaign. Then, there’s ANOTHER case before SCOTUS this week that could have HUGE implications for Trump.

For this week’s deep dive: Minority Rule. Minority rule is when a minority of the population has the majority of the power. Sound familiar? The hosts ask how a shrinking minority of white male conservatives are able to pass laws and policies that most of us don’t actually want. It goes alllll the way back to the beginning, y’all, maybe our democracy isn’t so democratic?

We’re also shedding some light on the importance of Black Maternal Health Week. Black and Brown mothers are about three times as likely to die during childbirth. These are totally preventable deaths, we gotta talk about it!!

As we all know, politics are everywhere, and this week they’re in women’s sports. College basketball star, Caitlin Clark, and some of our faves like Angel Reese and Kamilla Cardoso, were just drafted into the WNBA, and folks are upset about how LITTLE they’ll be paid compared to their NBA counterparts. It is literally a fraction of a percent, y’all…

Then, Native Pod goes green as Tiffany clarifies the politics of cannabis for this upcoming 4/20 weekend. And of course, the hosts respond to your comments and questions. We are 200 days until Election Day 2024!

Welcome home, y'all!
