Many of the people affected by the current global monkeypox outbreak are reported to be men who identify as gay or bisexual, or men who have sex with men.
The virus can affect anyone, but in response to where the majority of cases are, public health officials are gearing their information toward communities of gay and bisexual men. And that has some saying that the messaging echoes back to the HIV/AIDS crisis and has the potential to stigmatize the gay community while missing others who are susceptible to the disease.
We speak with Dr. Boghuma K. Titanji, physician and clinical researcher in infectious diseases at Emory University, about the lessons public health officials can learn from the HIV/AIDS crisis of the 80s and 90s.
Gas prices have been rising for two months straight. Now, on average, a tank of gas costs more than $5 nationwide. To try to bring prices back down, an organization of the world’s biggest oil producers, OPEC+, has promised to increase production. And here in the U.S., the federal government has been releasing one million barrels of oil a day from its gas reserves.
So why are prices still high? Today we’ll hear from trusted and well-known expert Patrick De Haan, the head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy. Patrick is breaking down, step by step, how we got here and revealing insights into the oil market that you don’t often hear about.

Republican Mayra Flores made history on Tuesday, winning a South Texas congressional seat that had been occupied by Democrats for more than 100 years. The district, which is largely populated by Latinos on the southern border, went for President Joe Biden in the 2020 presidential election.
So how did Flores win?
"I think this speaks to Ronald Reagan's message of Hispanics are Republican, they just don't know it yet," says Cesar Ybarra, vice president of policy at FreedomWorks. "Republicans have been doing a better job at explaining the Republican Party platform to Hispanic voters. This has been amplified just by the terrible job that President Biden and the congressional Democrats have been doing with the economy."
Ybarra thinks that Flores victory is the beginning of a resurgent GOP making inroads with minority voters, but that it will take time.
"Big changes don't happen in two years, in four years. We've got to look at the long game," he says. "And what happens in politics too often is we get so bogged down in winning the day and winning the week that we forget about where we want to be in 2025, where we want to be in 2030."
Ybarra joins the show to discuss the increasing shift of Latino voters from the Democrat party to the GOP, and what this means for future elections.

The war between Russia and Ukraine is reverberating in Taiwan, a self-governed island that China claims as its own and has threatened to invade if Taiwan declares independence.
Residents of the island are watching intently as Ukraine defends itself against a much larger and more powerful adversary. And they are thinking about what it takes to galvanize international support.
The U.S. has a longstanding policy of ambiguity when it comes to talking about Taiwan and independence, not wanting to risk a conflict with China. So it was surprising last month when President Biden said the that U.S. will defend Taiwan in the event of an invasion by China.
We speak to journalist Chris Horton, who is based in Taiwan. His recent piece in The Atlantic is headlined, "The Lessons Taiwan is Learning from Ukraine."
