Mississippi's largest city is in the midst of a water crisis. Folks there will have little to no water indefinitely. I'll talk to one of the city's council members about how heavy rains and flooding caused the city's water treatment center pumps to fail catastrophically.
A Black North Carolina mayor is getting heat from white folks for dismantling a confederate monument. Enfield's mayor is getting hate emails, and a flyer from a white supremacist group is popping up around the town. Mondale Robinson will be here to explain why he took the monument down himself.

California Representative Ro Khanna will be joining us to discuss President Biden's student loan debt relief and explain how his mid-west apology tour attempting to save the Democratic party is going.
