The Intelligence from The Economist - Running for cover: our Ukraine-refugees special

The war in Ukraine has created the greatest flux of refugees in Europe since the second world war. We visit Poland, where the response has been remarkably smooth, and a New York neighbourhood that is no stranger to émigrés from the region. And we consider the displaced who are largely overlooked: why are so many Russians exiling themselves in Turkey?

The Daily Signal - How Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg Rigged the 2020 Election to Defeat Trump

Mark Zuckerberg is best known for creating and leading Facebook, a company that’s made him one of the wealthiest men in the world. With an estimated worth of $80 billion, he poured hundreds of millions of his fortune into the 2020 election.

Here’s the thing: You probably had no idea at the time Zuckerberg was influencing the outcome of the most contentious presidential election in our lifetime. That’s because we didn’t learn the true extent of Zuckerberg’s financial contributions until the voting already took place.

Now, thanks to a new 40-minute documentary film from Citizens United Productions, we know what he did and how to prevent it from happening again.

Citizens United President David Bossie hosts and narrates the film, “Rigged: The Zuckerberg-Funded Plot to Defeat Donald Trump.” He joins "The Daily Signal Podcast" with director Jason Killian Meath. Listen to the full show or read a lightly edited transcript at DailySignal.com.

Consider This from NPR - Ukrainian Teacher Plans For A Future In Romania

More than 4.5 million Ukrainians have left their country since Russia began its invasion of Ukraine. While many hope to return to Ukraine, they don't know when it will be safe to do so. As the war shows no sign of stopping, some refugees are beginning to integrate into life in their adoptive countries.

One of those people is Anastasiia Konovalova. She used to be the head teacher at a primary school in Odesa, Ukraine, but fled to Bucharest, Romania after the war began. In a matter of weeks, she's managed to get a school for Ukrainian refugees up and running. With more than 600 Ukrainian children on a waitlist to attend, Konovalova is now thinking about what a future in Romania could look like for these refugee children.

In participating regions, you'll also hear a local news segment to help you make sense of what's going on in your community.

The NewsWorthy - Special Edition: Spring Cleaning Made Simple

Spring is here and for many people, that means it’s time for spring cleaning! A recent survey from the American Cleaning Institute found nearly 80% of American adults do some form of spring cleaning every year.

But let’s be honest: it can be daunting or feel pointless if we can’t keep the place clean the rest of the year. To make it all feel a little more doable, and a little less stressful, I’m talking with the expert known as “Clean Mama.” Her real name is Becky Rapinchuck and she was on the show a few years ago, as well.

She’s the founder of "CleanMama.com" and regularly shares her advice with more than 750,000 followers on Instagram. Today, you’ll learn how to set yourself up for spring cleaning success and how to keep a cleaner, less cluttered home – the kind that will make you feel more relaxed 365 days a year.

Consider This from NPR - What a Rare Holiday Overlap Means In a Time That Seems ‘Catastrophic’

This weekend, followers of three major religions are observing some of their most sacred holidays. Many will do so together, in person, for the first time in years.

Easter, Passover, and Ramadan all have their own symbolism and themes. And it's not a stretch to tie any of those themes to world events; from the COVID-19 pandemic to the war in Ukraine.

We invited three faith leaders to tell us about the messages they're bringing to their congregations during a difficult time – and a holy time: Reverend Marshall Hatch of the New Mount Pilgrim Missionary Baptist Church in Chicago, Senior Rabbi Ruth Zlotnick of Temple Beth Am in Seattle, and Imam Mohamed Herbert from The Islamic Society of Tulsa.

In participating regions, you'll also hear a local news segment to help you make sense of what's going on in your community.
