We’re back! This week in political news we cover Melba Mao’s spat with Senator Bob Corker, and in our criminal justice segment we go over an excellent analysis of how the War on Drugs contributes to mass incarceration, an Arkansas judge pleads guilty to offering leniency in exchange for nude photos, a Georgia sheriff is indicted for sexually abusing high school students, and much (much) more!
