An activist was murdered outside of Atlanta trying to protect the Weelaunee Forest from the development of a police training ground. Why aren't we hearing more about it? Fellow organizer Micah Herskind joins Francesca to explain what Cop City is and the depths of the corruption surrounding its construction. And Akela Lacy, politics reporter for The Intercept, joins to talk about the double-speaking Rep. Hakeem Jeffries and Rep. Ilhan Omar being kicked off the House Foreign Affairs Committee. She might've been booted by Republicans, but not before Democrats had previously undermined her. Finally, the beautiful big Chinese spy balloon has been shot down. Was it the right move and how have we been forever changed.
