Episode Details

Lawmakers have threatened to revoke the appropriations for a federally-funded scholarship program that an audit found favors liberally leaning students over conservatives by a ratio of 10 to 1. The 'Zero Emission' electric fire engines being adopted in cities across the country have diesel engines to help pump water when the battery runs low, but this is rarely mentioned in news coverage or promotion materials. Donald Trump's defense team rested, wrapping up its side of the case after calling two witnesses, including one who contradicted testimony provided by former Trump attorney and fixer Michael Cohen, the prosecution's star witness. Trump had said he would testify at his trial if necessary, but decided not to take the stand in the history-making trial. Illinois legislators are working to change the term "offender" to "justice impacted individual" in state law, a move Republicans say disrespects victims of violent crime. Administrators at a Tennessee school used virtual credit recovery courses to help students deemed problematic graduate without doing the work.
