The Ellison Report is a weekly journal of politics, policy, and the people.
PART I: Mayor of East Orange, NJ Lester Taylor explains why infrastructure issues are so important and the challenges of blight – and why cities really need to fix it.
PART II: Michael Warren, Online Editor at The Weekly Standard, examines if Donald Trump’s campaign is truly going through a reset – or a complete collapse. Also: how bad are the splits within the Republican Party and how much distance can the GOP put between itself and it’s nominee?
PART III: Joshua Harris, Green Party candidate for Mayor of Baltimore, explains the appeal of “Third Party” alternatives to Black voters. Is it real – or is it just a concept? What are the local, state and national ramifications?
PART IV: Lindsay Gibbs, Sports Editor for ThinkProgress, explores the underlying issues in the Rio Olympics, where racism, sexism, class, poverty and international tensions intersect.
