Description
Today starts with a misinformation showdown between two social media monoliths - Facebook and TikTok. Next, we hear about the EU finally cracking down “golden passport” programs that allow wealthy investors — such as Russian oligarchs — buy E.U. citizenship. Then it's Groundhog Day all over again as Donald Trump trots out one his favorite old conspiracy theories involving the Bidens and Russia. We also learn which Republican is willing to vote to confirm Supreme Court nominee Ketanji Brown Jackson. Finally, an announcement from the CDC about lowering warning levels for cruises.
