from Rising from the Ashes

If you're tired of all the nonsense on Twitter--so is Twitter. It says it's going to get tougher now on misinformation during a time of crisis. The company say it's going to add warning notices to tweets with misinformation during things like armed conflict, natural disasters and public health emergencies. We go In Depth into whether this will actually work and if it's in response to Elon Musk possibly taking over soon. President Biden finally uses the Defense Production Act to get baby formula back on store shelves. But could this all have been avoided?Russia is moving troops around Ukraine, focusing more on the east. We'll look into whether this plan will work. Ford has a problem with vehicles catching fire, even when they're shut off. COVID cases keep going up as do the number of people in the hospital. Mask recommendations are back. Mandates might be next in some areas like LA County. We go In Depth into whether people are just too fatigued to care about mandates anymore. Another strange disease is sparking interest. It's called monkeypox and it's here in the U.S. But for how long? California is dealing with another invasive pest--a worm. This creepy crawly isn't any worm--it's a jumping worm. It can actually jump around.  To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.
