Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib was interviewed by Axios regarding her endorsement of the BREATHE Act, which proposes emptying federal detention facilities within 10 years.

Angela Davis clarified that the "Defund the Police" movement is an abolitionist demand focused on shifting public funds from law enforcement to social services like mental health and housing. She criticized Joe Biden's "superficial" understanding of the movement. The discussion notes the irony of Davis calling for services "without arms," given her history with the Black Panthers and the subsequent Mulford Act in California.
