Najib Razak, once Malaysia’s prime minister, left office embroiled in scandal. Now he’s back on the campaign trail. And Oman has set strict sartorial standards around the dishdasha, its national dress.

The Daily Signal - A Look at Judge Jackson’s Record on Unions

President Joe Biden’s Supreme Court nominee, Ketanji Brown Jackson, has come under fire for her positions on child porn sentencing, court stacking, and immigration.

Now David Osborne, CEO of Americans for Fair Treatment, tells "The Daily Signal Podcast" that Jackson has another controversial position: her views on labor.

"Even taking Ketanji Brown Jackson at her best, she's got new judicial philosophies. She's got her own view on the First Amendment and how it should work. She's definitely got her own perspective on how federal sector bargaining should work," says Osborne. "And she's going to bring that to the court. And she may drive some of these issues. I think unions are getting what they're paying for."

Osborne joins the show to discuss those concerns, and what they could mean if Jackson is confirmed to the court.

We also cover these stories:

  • Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., gets into a heated confrontation with Jackson on her third day of hearings.
  • The Oklahoma House passes a bill banning medically unnecessary abortions.
  • Madeleine Albright, who served as secretary of state under President Bill Clinton, dies at 84.

Consider This from NPR - How Name, Image, and Likeness Contracts Are Transforming College Sports

The NCAA's March Madness Tournament is upon us, and after over two years of pandemic restrictions at sporting events, stands are packed to full capacity with fans.

Transformative changes are happening off of the court too: for the first time in March Madness history, college athletes can cash in on endorsement deals because of changes to the NCAA's Name, Image and Likeness (NIL) policies, which are a result of a Supreme Court ruling last summer.

While the new arena in college sports has been lucrative for athletes, with contracts reaching 7 figures, NIL advocates are concerned about the lack of legal and financial protections for students.

We speak with Stewart Mandel, Editor-In-Chief of college football at The Athletic, about how the current nature of NIL deals may risk exploiting student-athletes.

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