Description

Starting today with some good news, a redwood forest has been returned to a group of native groups. Meanwhile, Johnson & Johnson announced they will pay up to $665 million to tribal communities affected by the opioid crisis. Next, we cover Whoopi Goldberg's controversial Holocaust comments, before unpacking why a Michigan Republican candidate for governor is arguing against abortion care for rape victims. Then, we share a revealing poll that shows more and more teachers are ready to leave their job due to burnout. Finally, Pfizer has officially asked the FDA to approve low-dose COVID-19 shots for children between 6 months and 5 years old.
