This landmark decision forces West Coast municipalities to provide housing solutions before enforcing camping bans. Meanwhile, attorney Michael Avenatti faces up to 40 years in prison after a jury found him guilty of attempting to extort millions of dollars from Nike. U.S. Attorney John Durham has expanded his investigation into the origins of the Russia probe, specifically examining whether former CIA Director John Brennan withheld critical intelligence from other agencies. In the 2020 primary, Michael Bloomberg faces intense scrutiny over his expansion of Stop and Frisk policing in New York City, even as rumors circulate regarding a potential vice-presidential ticket with Hillary Clinton. Overseas, Defense Secretary Mark Esper announced a seven-day reduction in violence agreement with the Taliban, while Amsterdam Mayor Femke Halsema proposed a ban on tourist cannabis sales to combat over-tourism. In France, public hospital staff are resigning administrative duties to protest budget cuts that have left patients on stretchers for days. Bernie Sanders drew massive crowds at the Tacoma Dome, sparking a debate over arena capacity versus Donald Trump's rally figures. Comedian Bill Maher questioned the military's role should a sitting president refuse to vacate the White House, while Snoop Dogg's criticism of Gayle King ignited a firestorm on Morning Joe. The Podcast Academy's new Golden Mike Awards received a cold reception as an industry insider scam. ## Chapters Each chapter's transcript is at its own link.
