'The Young Turks' host Cenk Uygur announced a new political movement during Monday’s show to answer a broken and corporate Democratic party.

The candidates that run under Justice Democrats will not be funded by corporate donors. Instead, it will be sourced and funded by the people.

Architect of Mexico's war on drugs held in Texas for taking cartel bribes
A former minister who was considered an architect of Mexico’s war on drugs has been arrested on charges that he allowed the Sinaloa cartel to operate with impunity in exchange for briefcases stuffed with cash. Genaro García Luna, who oversaw the creation of Mexico’s federal police, was arrested in Texas on Monday. He helped oversee the militarized crackdown on organized crime which was launched in 2006 by the then president, Felipe Calderón, and has continued with slight modifications ever since.
But according to the indictment against him unsealed on Tuesday, García Luna “received millions of dollars in bribes from the Sinaloa cartel in exchange for providing protection for its drug trafficking activities”. “García Luna stands accused of taking millions of dollars in bribes from ‘El Chapo’ Guzmán’s Sinaloa cartel while he controlled Mexico’s federal police force and was responsible for ensuring public safety in Mexico,” said US attorney Richard P Donoghue. “Today’s arrest demonstrates our resolve to bring to justice those who help cartels inflict devastating harm on the United States and Mexico, regardless of the positions they held while committing their crimes.”
García Luna led Mexico’s federal investigation agency from 2001 to 2005, and from 2006 to 2012, he served under Calderón as secretary of public security. Calderón deployed troops against the cartels in December 2006, but the crackdown unleashed a wave of violence which has claimed more than 200,000 lives, left more than 35,000 missing and continues today.
The arrest of Calderón’s right-hand man delivers a serious blow to the former leader, a prominent critic of the current president, Andrés Manuel López Obrador, who has promised a “hugs not bullets” strategy of tackling the social roots of crime. “This is a bombshell,” said Carlos Bravo Regidor, a commentator in Mexico City. “There’s never been a detention of such a high-ranking Mexican official.”
