On this Washington Wednesday edition of Politically Georgia, host Tia Mitchell examines the legality and politics behind President Trump’s decision to activate the National Guard in Washington, D.C. Georgia State law professor Anthony Michael Kreis explains why the move is raising constitutional concerns and whether it could happen in cities like Atlanta or Chicago. Later, Tia turns to the economy, where AJC business editor Scott Trubey and Georgia Budget and Policy Institute’s Ife Finch Floyd break down troubling unemployment trends for Black women and what they reveal about the broader job market.
