Description

Yesterday Facebook's whistleblower testified in front of the Senate Commerce Subcommittee on Consumer Protection and urged them to take action against Facebook. Next, we move to Johnson & Johnson's request for authorization from the FDA for its booster dose of the COVID vaccine, and why a Texas board is recommending posthumous pardon for George Floyd. Then, we cover why Tesla has been ordered by a federal jury to pay $137 million dollars to a former contractor, before moving to a major report revealing the abuse of over 300,000 minors by the French Catholic clergy. Finally, we finish off with why Kellogg's US. cereal plant workers are going on strike and the growing devastation of the oil spill in California.
