Description

Another day, another Russia-Ukraine update. What's next? Let's move over to announcement from Biden about a US raid that left an ISIS leader dead. Next, we discuss the continuing book ban across schools in the US and why the city of Rotterdam is considering dismantling part of a historic bridge for none other than Jeff Bezos. Speaking of Bezos, his ex-wife MacKenzie Scott just donated $133 million dollars to an educational nonprofit (where's your donations, Jeff?). Meanwhile, retired Lieutenant Colonel Alexander Vindman has now sued Trump, Donald Trump Jr, Rudy Giuliani and other ex-white house aides. To close the show, we end with New Mexico Sen. Ben Ray's recent hospitalization and a scary weather report.
