When It Arraigns, It Pours: Former President Donald Trump will appear in federal court in Miami today to be arraigned on 37 federal counts over his alleged mishandling of classified documents. It’s his second court appearance as a criminal defendant this year – and he is expected to plead not guilty. SB 1718, a sweeping anti-immigration law signed by Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, takes effect next month. It bears striking similarities to a ballot measure passed by California voters almost 30 years ago called Proposition 187, which galvanized the state’s Latino communities. L.A. Times columnist Gustavo Arellano joins us to discuss whether SB 1718 will have the same effect in the Sunshine State. And in headlines: youth activists sued Montana in a first-of-its kind case over climate change, New York City has become the first city to mandate a minimum wage for app-based food delivery workers, and two non binary actors made history at this year’s Tony Awards. by What A Day

The Platform Power Debate: Publishers, Parler, & The President: Parler, the social app favored by conservative Americans, found itself on the wrong side of Apple, Amazon, and Google in the wake of last week’s riots in the U.S. Capitol. Big tech is drawing a line on the internet, suspending President Donald Trump’s content and forcing Parler temporarily offline. Axios business editor Dan Primack and journalist Joanne Lipman track big tech’s journey to today’s platform power debate.

Plus, CEO of the Anti-Defamation League Jonathan Greenblatt discusses the role of big tech in upholding free speech and protecting its users.
