The Intelligence from The Economist - Capital outflow: Russia changes tack

It appears that Russian forces are withdrawing from Kyiv, Ukraine’s capital, to focus on the eastern region of Donbas. We examine what the shifting tactics signify. A court in Singapore has refused to strike a colonial-era anti-gay law from its books, despite the fact it is never enforced; we ask why. And what’s behind Bolivia’s preponderance of contraband Japanese cars.

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.

CoinDesk Podcast Network - BREAKDOWN: Why Is Bitcoin Going Up?

Is it geopolitics, a bid from a stablecoin project, or both?  

This episode is sponsored by Nexo.io, Arculus and FTX US.

Today on “The Breakdown,” NLW looks at the last two days of bullish momentum and sentiment. Is it being driven by geopolitics and a broad recognition around the Russia-Ukraine war of bitcoin’s importance in a volatile world? Is it the market reacting to Do Kwon and Terra’s multibillion-dollar bid to build an asset reserve for the UST stablecoin? Or is it, like always, some combination of narrative and market structure?

Russian and Ukrainian negotiators met in Turkey and came away saying some new things, NPR's Nate Rott reports. And NPR's A Martinez talks with Vladmir Ash'urkov, director of The Anti-Corruption Foundation, which was founded by Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny, about how the war looks from his point of view and whether economic sanctions alone are enough to put pressure on Vladimir Putin.

Consider This from NPR - New Variants. New Boosters. But So Far, No New COVID Spending From Congress

An omicron subvariant known as BA.2 could soon become the dominant form of the coronavirus in the United States. It's not more deadly, but it is more transmissible. At the same time, the Biden administration has authorized a second booster shot for people over 50 and other people vulnerable to infection.

But against that backdrop, Congress has so far refused to authorize more COVID spending measures, which would fund the stockpiling of more vaccine doses and public health surveillance for emerging variants.

NPR's Selena Simmons-Duffin reports on the funding debate. NPR's Michaeleen Doucleff looks at another variant whose creation gives scientists insight into how COVID-19 variants change, and why.

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

State of the World from NPR - The Idea of ‘Dividing’ Ukraine, Explaining the NATO Exercises

The Kremlin indicated in recent days it's focused on "liberating" parts of eastern Ukraine, which is a region where Moscow-backed separatists seized land years ago. Andrew Weiss from the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace discusses Russia's potential tactic to partition Ukraine. And as tensions between Russia and NATO countries may be higher than at any time since the Cold War, why would the U.S. and its allies stage war games right near Russia's doorstep?
