Description

The man accused in the Atlanta spa shootings was indicted on murder charges, yesterday. The prosecution says it will be pursuing a hate crime penalty. We recently sat down with our resident legal scholar, Harvard Law Professor Noah Feldman, to help us understand the complexity of defining and prosecuting hate.

Plus, the GOP pushes Rep. Liz Cheney out from leadership.

And, the bonkers market for reselling sneakers.

Guests: Harvard professor Noah Feldman, Axios' Mike Allen, and The Kicks You Wear writer Mike Sykes.
