And what’s up with all that money that got paid to Melania’s consultant friend? Also: Was the Enquirer’s interest in Jeff Bezos’ dick pic evidence of international corruption, or just good gossip?

Nomiki Konst (@NomikiKonst) joins us to discuss her campaign for New York City public advocate, how “affordable housing” programs are actually gentrification programs, and the importance of rejecting corporate money.
