The House Jan. 6 committee met for the final time Monday and recommended criminal charges for former President Donald Trump. The committee's investigation into the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol revealed "the larger, structural weaknesses of American democracy." University of Chicago law professor Aziz Huq joins us. Then, Hollywood's most famous mountain lion, nicknamed P-22, had to be euthanized over the weekend after being hit by a car. Miguel Ordeñana is the wildlife biologist who first discovered the puma 10 years ago, and he joins us to reflect on the legacy P-22 leaves behind. And, a mile of unfinished highway in West Baltimore has been dubbed the "Highway to Nowhere." When it was built in the 1970s, it displaced nearly 1,000 homes and businesses. Baltimore recently applied for funding to remove the highway, but Fight Blight Bmore founder Nneka N'namdi is skeptical of the city's ability to do so equitably. She joins us.
