It's the changing of the guard in Oakland today, as Mayor Sheng Thao leaves office after being recalled by the voters. The City Council President will serve as interim Mayor, while the Council gets ready to approve deep cuts in public safety spending. Mayor Sheng Thao, overwhelmingly recalled by the voters in November, steps down today after less than two years on the job. She remains defiant and unrepentant, despite presiding over a tumultuous regime that saw a fight with the police chief, the departure of the Oakland A's, stubbornly high crime and persistent homelessness, and now a massive budget deficit. Thao will be replaced for three weeks by City Council President Nikki Fortunato Bas, and then the council will choose a new temporary Mayor in January. Meanwhile, expect a contentious meeting of the Council this afternoon, as city leaders and constituents fight over how to close this huge deficit without hurting city services.

Toxicity. Gaslighting. Undermining. These are some of the ways Seattle City Councilmember Tammy Morales has described the behavior of her colleagues since she announced her resignation last week. She’s vacating her position three years before her term ends. "When I raise the issues on the dais, I am met with this seething anger just for expressing my policy priorities or my perspective," Morales said. Morales’ resignation letter raised red flags about the inner workings of city hall, and highlighted several concerns she had about the council behind the scenes. That includes allegations that the current council interfered with non-partisan Council Central Staff who provide objective policy analysis, and an observation that she had witnessed a significant departure of institutional knowledge over the last year because of staff departures. Now, Seattle City Council President Sara Nelson is responding to Morales' allegations. GUEST: Seattle City Council President Sara Nelson RELATED LINKS: 'Gaslighting and manipulation.'

Elected as the youngest woman to the council in 2021, Kelly has since served as City Council President and contributed to boards like the Taunton Planning Board. She has played a significant role in doubling the senior tax credit and revitalizing the city. Motivated by her dissatisfaction with the state's policies and a desire to secure a better future for her children, Kelly is running for office to bring common sense and fiscal responsibility to Massachusetts politics. Jennifer and Kelly dive deep into the prevailing issues within Massachusetts' legislative system, including a lack of transparency, one-party rule, and financial inefficiencies. Kelly highlights her campaign to address these shortcomings and her fight for an audit of the Massachusetts legislature. They discuss the "right to shelter" law, which has led to resource strains, and the unaffordability of housing that pushes young people to neighboring states. Touching on small business challenges, they explore the need for a small business bill of rights and reducing onerous regulations. They also investigate the impact of rising insurance rates on residents and the urgency for legislative change to help municipalities control property taxes better.

1.5.2023 #RolandMartinUnfiltered: Miss. State-Run Court,Harry Dunn for Congress,Black Unemployment Drops, Roland Dissects Umar Johnson The state-run court in Mississippi's majority-black capital is becoming a reality after attempts for a permanent injunction failed. Jackson's City Council President and the Impact Policy Counsel for the Mississippi Center for Justice will join me to discuss what this means for the city.  He did his best to protect the capitol on January 6. Now, he's running for Maryland's 3rd Congressional District. Former Capitol Police officer Harry Dunn will be here to explain why he's running for office.  Republican Presidential candidate Nikky Haley did her best to back-peddle her statement about the Civil War during CNN's Town Hall. Ya'll wait until you hear how she tried to clean it up.  December's job report was better than predicted, with the black unemployment rate and the black men's unemployment rate taking a tumble.  And I have been waiting to come back to discuss what Umar Johnson said on Joe Budden's Podcast. Tonight I'm going to dissect his ass.  Download the Black Star Network app at http://www.blackstarnetwork.com! We're on iOS, AppleTV, Android, AndroidTV, Roku, FireTV, XBox and SamsungTV.
