Description
Today starts with an update on the subway shooting in Brooklyn, along with a story about new rules that ban the sale of ghost guns. President Biden used the term genocide to describe Putin’s invasion of Ukraine for the first time since the war began. Meanwhile, Zelensky has offered an exchange of prisoners between the two countries. Then we hear about a challenge to the recently passed Alabama law banning doctors from treating trans youth under age 19. Next, one state is moving to ban abortion altogether, while another state expands access and funding. The White House is taking steps to reduce the cost of federal home loans for Americans who are in medical debt. Finally, a surprising story about a congressman moonlighting as a pilot on the side.
