Foreign Policy Analyst Malcolm Nance joined Wake Up With WURD with Solomon Jones to discuss the security implications of the Trump administration’s apparent support for Russia in the Ukraine war.

Dr. Tukufu Zuberi, professor of Sociology and Africana Studies at the University of Pennsylvania, joined Wake Up With WURD to discuss the award-winning documentary he produced, which explores the history, challenges, and triumphs of Africa’s liberation movements.

Councilmember Jamie Gauthier proposed legislation condemning President Trump’s recent social media post likening himself as a king. Gauthier joined Reality Check with Tonya Pendleton and explained how dangerous Trump’s king narrative is for democracy.
