Trumps wants to fire another economist and Scary Predictive Policing

Bill discusses the criminal referral by the head of the Federal Housing Authority of Lisa Cook, a Governor of the Federal Reserve, as a shameful attempt to drive her off the Board of Governors.

Linda explores predictive policing and other scary data-driven surveillance. A deeper dive into the activities of Palantir Gotham.

Additionally we return to the cherry crisis, immigration, and add the issue of visas for foreign students.

Finally, Linda brings to our attention the content-less television coverage of the meeting between Putin and Trump, likely caused by the fact that (predictably) nothing of substance happened at the meeting. Trump once again showing the world that he knows nothing about the conduct of foreign policy and diplomacy, but will do anything for coverage of his feeble attempts at both.
