A resolution condemning hate that finally passed in the House, after considerable wrangling. It was a response to comments by Minnesota Democrat Ilhan Omar that some consider anti-Semitic. The episode once again revealed divisions within the Democratic Party, along racial, religious, and generational lines.

Plus, we talk about UMass's plans to launch a new national online college specifically for adult education. And, we reflect on the death of Jassy Correia.
