Republicans across the nation are in an all-out assault on black prosecutors. Today we will speak with a Black state attorney from Florida who has come under fire from conservatives, including DeSantis, who alleges that she's soft on crime.
The controversy surrounding the acquisition of cable company Tenga by Standard General continues. This time New Jersey Democrat Senator Bob Menendez is calling out his colleagues and threatening to boycott all further appointments to the U.S. Federal Communications Commission. We will show his entire speech as he railed on the Senate floor.

Ya'll don't want to miss that!
