Description

The FDA has approved a new Alzheimer’s drug for the first time in almost 20 years. The hope is it would treat the more than 6 million Americans living with Alzheimer’s disease. But the effectiveness of the drug is up for question.

Plus, the Biden administration’s split stance on Puerto Ricans and benefits.

And, the upside to online concerts.

Guests: Jose Delgado, Washington correspondent of El Nuevo Dia and Axios' Bob Herman, and Erica Pandey.
