In Georgia, attention turns to the start of the legislative session, the state's massive budget surplus, transit and infrastructure debates, and what lawmakers may — or may not — accomplish in an election year. With activists there to "pack the capitol," Ron hung out at the capitol and caught up with Georgia 50501 vice-chair Briana Boyd about events they participated in with other organizations throughout metro Atlanta - from protests to vigils - in the aftermath of the deadly ICE encounter in Minnesota last week.On that, DHS Secretary Kristi Noem - who needs to be impeached - was taken apart by CNN's Jake Tapper over her outright lies in the minutes following Renee Good's killing, along with the Trump administration's hypocrisy on treatment of interaction with law enforcement from January 6, 2021 to now with masked ICE agents. Then there's the Trump DOJ carrying out "lawfare" against Fed Chair Jerome Powell, and Powell's predictably classy stiff-spined response (on Federal Reserve social media, no less), as meanwhile, the Comey prosecutor who apparently seemed too timid to re-litigate James Comey's case, was let go.Oh and the Trump EPA putting more priority on cost to businesses to handle pollution vs. the lives stemming pollutants would save. Just more outright comic book villainy. Tune in to catch the Ron Show weekdays from 4-6pm Eastern time on Georgia NOW!

How did education across Illinois fare in the budget? We asked the correspondent for an Illinois based education focused news service. We also covered President Trump's attempt to claw back money for foreign aid and public broadcasting, a new travel ban and Japan's Nippon Steel investing in US Steel and what that means for Granite City's steel mill.

In today’s deep dive, the Illinois General Assembly's spring session has come to an end. State lawmakers passed dozens of education bills, but they also left hundreds more on the table when they wrapped up this past weekend.

It's a new year and that always means it's just about time for a new General Assembly session. Jeff Schapiro, political columnist at the Richmond Times-Dispatch, and Michael Pope recap the week in politics and state government.

The 2025 General Assembly session is fast approaching. Michael Pope and Jeff Schapiro – political columnist with the Richmond Times-Dispatch – discuss what lawmakers are looking forward to – as well as the latest about next year's gubernatorial race.

Many of the hundreds of bills passed by the Rhode Island General Assembly each year raise issues involving civil liberties. That's why Rhode Island ACLU executive director Steve Brown pays close attention to the legislature. As is often the case, the results from Smith Hill this year are something of a mixed bag. Lawmakers approved the first significant overhaul since 1976 of the Law Enforcement Officers' Bill of Rights, or LEOBOR. But an attempt to update the law governing open records, the Access to Public Records Act, fell flat in the face of opposition from state government. So how did lawmakers do in conducting the public's business? What would it take to make the General Assembly more accountable to the public it serves? And how is the outlook for the rule of law when millions of Americans dispute the winner of the 2020 presidential race? This week on Political Roundtable, I'm going in-depth with the head of the Rhode Island ACLU, Steve Brown.

There's still a lot of unfinished business from the General Assembly Session. Jeff Schapiro, political columnist at the Richmond Times-Dispatch, and Michael Pope talk about where we're headed next.

While there's still a chance it'll get resurrected this year, that's looking unlikely--with Senator Lucas holding fast to her opposition and the one-page report full of questionable estimates. Plus, what does it mean that a Monumental executive cancelled last-minute before appearing on this episode?

The 2024 General Assembly session may be remembered for what was rejected, rather than what was passed. Jeff Schapiro, political columnist at the Richmond Times-Dispatch, and Michael Pope recap the week in politics and state government.

On this week's live-to-tape game show, Michael sits down with Delegate Alfonso Lopez, Delegate Marcus Simon, Alexandria Assistant City Manager Sarah Taylor, and pinch hitter Senator Jeremy McPike to get their takes on the end of the latest General Assembly Session: from passive-aggressive policies to "peace in the valley," invasive plants, and Jim Crow minimum wage exceptions.

Our focus on Midday today is the Attorney General's Report on Child Sexual Abuse in the Archdiocese of Baltimore.A warning to our listeners: for the rest of the hour, we're going to talk about child sexual abuse.Yesterday, Maryland Attorney General Anthony Brown released the long-awaited Catholic clergy sexual abuse report. It chronicles more than 80 years of abuse by more than 150 Catholic clergy members, seminarians, deacons and Archdiocese employees, and their victimization of more than 600 children and young people. The Catholic Church is by no means the only religious faith institution which has had clergy break trust and act criminally with their congregants, nor are religious institutions the only professions in which abusers prey on children. But the Catholic Church is the sole focus of this particular report. Here's part of what AG Brown had to say yesterday when he announced the report's release: “Today, certainly in Maryland, is a day of reckoning and a day of accounting…“The incontrovertible history uncovered by this investigation is one of pervasive, pernicious and persistent abuse by priests and other Archdiocese personnel. It's also a history of repeated cover-up of that abuse by the Catholic Church hierarchy…” "What was consistent throughout the stories was the absolute authority and power these abusive priests and the church leadership held over survivors, their families and their communities. The report seeks to document this long and sordid history..." "While it may be too late for the survivors to see criminal justice served, we hope that exposing the archdiocese's transgressions to the fullest extent possible will bring some measure of accountability and perhaps encourage others to come forward." — Md Attorney General Anthony Brown, speaking Wednesday in Annapolis. The report was written by Elizabeth Embry, who worked on it for four years. Ms. Embry is now a member of the House of Delegates. She will be joining Tom to talk about the report and its findings here on Midday next week, after the General Assembly Session has concluded. The abuse described in the report goes back to the 1940s. Archbishop William Lori, in a letter to Catholics published yesterday offered an apology, acknowledged the, quote, “reprehensible time in the history of this Archdiocese,” and asserted that since the 1990s, the church has been more transparent and cooperative with law enforcement to remove abusers from its ranks. We invited Archbishop Lori to join our conversation. He declined our invitation. Today is a holy day in the church calendar, Maundy Thursday, and the Archbishop's spokesperson cited a schedule conflict.Today, we'll hear from some of the survivors of the abuse that is described in the report, from reporters who have been covering this story, and from a Doctor who treats child sexual abusers. Joining Tom in Studio A to discuss the AG's report are Scott Maucione, WYPR's health reporter, and Emily Hofstaedter, a WYPR general assignment reporter. We also hear a recorded comment from Dylan Segelbaum, a reporter with WYPR's news partner, The Baltimore Banner. Later in the program, Tom is joined by Dr. Elizabeth Letourneau. She's the director of the Moore Center for the Prevention of Child Sexual Abuse at Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. If you are a victim of abuse, and you are ready to come forward you can report past abuse by members of the clergy or anyone else by calling the Attorney General's Office at 410-576-6312 or emailing report@oag.state.md.us. In addition, there are a variety of local and national resources available for survivors of sexual violence: Baltimore Child Abuse Center at Center for Hope: 410-601-HOPE; https://lbhstaging22.lifebridgehealth.org/CenterforHope/BaltimoreChildAbuseCenterServices.aspx Center for Family and Traumatic Stress at Kennedy Krieger Institute: 443-923-5980; https://www.kennedykrieger.org/patient-care/centers-and-programs/traumatic-stress-center Maryland Coalition Against Sexual Assault: https://mcasa.org/ Male Survivors: https://malesurvivor.org/ Rape, Abuse, and Incest National Network: https://www.rainn.org/ Survivor Network of Those Abused by Priests (SNAP): https://www.snapnetwork.org/ CORRECTION: During today's live broadcast, we heard a clip of a woman named Maria Smith. Ms. Smith was incorrectly identified; she is a Catholic parishioner, not a survivor of sexual abuse. We apologize for the error.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Many members of the General Assembly will be ending their session for the last time this year. Michael Pope reports.

They.. Are.. Back Again! Hermie and Senator Stanley (with their “plus one,” Party Time Entertainment's and South Hill's very own town councilman Shep “Burn Pile” Moss), come out swinging with great conversation and tons of laughs in their first episode of the 2023 Leaning Right and Turning Left podcast season, with special guest, former state Senator and current Executive Director of the Virginia State Police Association, Bill Carrico! In Hermie's “Turning Left” moment, Sadler and Stanley open the first hour of the show by having an in-depth discussion about racing, and the upcoming southern modified (SMART) tour with Sadler/Stanley Racing's new team of drivers for the 2023 season, NASCAR® Hall of Famer Bobby Labonte and NASCAR® Legend Ryan Newman! Former Va. State Trooper Bill Carrico weighs in with his memories of providing police security for the races at Martinsville during the glory days of racing, and they discuss the state of racing as the new season approaches. Then Shep, Stanley and Sadler wrap up the first segment with a hilarious conclusion to the “LRTL Weight Loss Challenge for Charity” that the trio started before the holiday season. Be prepared to laugh out loud as these three do the final weigh-in to determine who lost (or more likely, gained) the most weight over the holidays, and which charity gets the proceeds of the wager that they made of who would lose the most weight – the results will surprise you!! And in the “Leaning Right Moment,” the Senator, Hermie and Shep talk with Sen. Bill Carrico about the current state of Virginia politics and the 2023 General Assembly Session, the status of Hermie's current campaign for state senate, hilarious moments when Sen. Stanley and Sen. Carrico sat next to each other on the floor of the Virginia Senate, and they set out what they think is in store for the future (and future safety and security) of the Commonwealth.

Republicans on Capitol Hill regain control of the House of Representatives today. The GOP holds a small, four-vote majority, which includes George Santos, a newly elected Republican from New York who fabricated virtually everything about his life history. He is facing multiple calls to resign, and several investigations. An internecine battle for Speaker of the House is underway at this hour. The GOP four-vote majority isn't enough to overcome the block of five Republicans who have vowed not to support Kevin McCarthy. As many as 15 more may not support McCarthy's bid as well. Over the last several weeks, and up to last night and this morning, the California Republican has made more and more promises intended to appease his opponents. If Republicans can't agree on McCarthy on a first ballot, it would be only the second time since the Civil War that multiple ballots would be cast for the office that is third in line for the Presidency. We will see how this all plays out. Stay tuned for continuing coverage on Here and Now and later today on All Things Considered.  Today on Midday on Politics, as Maryland Governor-Elect Wes Moore prepares to take charge in Annapolis, a conversation about the legacy of Larry Hogan, the popular two-term Republican governor who will hand over the reins of state government to Mr. Moore two weeks from tomorrow. Joining Tom for the hour are two reporters who have been covering the Hogan Administration: Pamela Wood is the politics and government reporter for our partner news organization, The Baltimore Banner. And Bryan Sears is a veteran Annapolis reporter who covers government affairs for Maryland's The Daily Record… Pamela Wood and Bryan Sears join us on Zoom. Bryan Sears will host the annual "Eye on Annapolis” conversation with Governor Elect Wes Moore, Senate President Bill Ferguson and Speaker of the House Adrienne Jones a week from tomorrow (Wed., January 11), in Annapolis, on the first day of the 2023 General Assembly Session.

This week marked the end of the 77th session of the UN General Assembly, an annual event that brings world leaders together in New York and often serves as both a forum for and a barometer of international politics. This year's session was particularly notable, both because it was the first in-person session since the onset of the global coronavirus pandemic and because it was the first session since what many see as the greatest crisis in the United Nations history: Russia's invasion of Ukraine. To learn more about what went down at the UNGA, Lawfare senior editor Scott R. Anderson sat down with Richard Gowan, the UN director for the International Crisis Group. They discussed how the Ukraine conflict shaped events at the session, how major powers like China and the United States responded, and what it might all mean for the future of both the conflict in Ukraine and the United Nations itself.
