What A Day - Life As A Ukrainian Refugee, Part II

Over 3.9 million people have fled Ukraine and become refugees since the beginning of the Russia-Ukraine war, according to the United Nations. About 2.3 million of those people have gone to neighboring Poland, and another 600,000 people have crossed into neighboring Romania. Julia Pashkovska, a mother who left her home in central Ukraine, joins us to discuss her experience fleeing the country.

And in headlines: A Palestinian gunman killed 5 people in Tel Aviv, the FDA approved a second booster dose of Pfizer’s and Moderna’s COVID vaccines for older adults, and the House Jan. 6 committee found a 7.5 hour gap in former President Donald Trump’s phone logs from the day of the insurrection.

The Daily Signal - Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers Targets Big Tech’s Censorship of Free Speech

Almost every day, it seems as though a Big Tech company has deplatformed another user. User content is blocked or removed continually.

What is being done to hold Big Tech accountable for its actions? What is Section 230 in U.S. law, and does it need to be reformed? How can we protect both free speech and free markets?

“These tech companies have become very destructive in so many different ways, and it is time for Congress to act on behalf of the American people, on behalf of parents, and on behalf of our children and the young generation," Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers, R-Wash., says.

Rodgers, who leads House Republicans' task force on Big Tech Censorship and Data, joins “The Daily Signal Podcast” to answer these questions and explain what Congress is doing to protect Americans' free speech rights on social media platforms.

We also cover these stories:

Following face-to-face talks with Ukrainian counterparts in Istanbul, Turkey, officials on Tuesday, Russian officials announce a reduction in military operations near the Ukrainian cities of Kyiv and Chernihiv.
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., says Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas should resign over his wife's actions.
The Food and Drug Administration gives emergency authorization to a second booster shot for the COVID-19 vaccines manufactured by Pfizer and Moderna.

What Next | Daily News and Analysis - Ginni Thomas Wanted a Revolution

Virginia “Ginni” Thomas, the wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, is a fervent right-wing activist. She was also a supporter of the attempts to overturn the 2020 presidential election results, as evidenced by a batch of texts shared with the congressional committee investigating January 6th.

The Ginni Thomas texts create a conflict of interest for Justice Clarence Thomas as he hears cases pertaining to the insurrection. But the Supreme Court is not expected to do much to dispel notions of bias. Why?

Guest: Mark Joseph Stern, senior writer covering courts and the law for Slate.

NPR's Book of the Day - ‘The Beauty of Dusk’ and life’s calamitous challenges

Journalist Frank Bruni had lots of professional success: he was a White House correspondent, food critic, and opinion columnist. But then in 2017 he suffered a rare type of stroke that left him unable to see correctly. His new memoir, The Beauty of Dusk: On Vision Lost and Found, focuses on many people who, like Bruni, have had challenges or setbacks in their lives that they have had to adjust to. Bruni told NPR's Ari Shapiro that asking people about their pain "ends up being rewarding and enriching for everybody involved."
