The White House is actively working with social media companies to flag “medical disinformation” to curb its spread by way of censorship. The Biden administration is calling “medical misinformation” a public health threat and labeled those posts as “problematic.” Again, raising the argument of whether social media companies are platforms or publishers. Investigative journalist and "Boom Bust" co-host Ben Swann weighs in. 

The Federal Aviation Administration is instructing Boeing to immediately address a possible failure in cabin air pressure on all of its 737 series airplanes. RT America’s Sayeh Tavangar gives us the scoop. 

Cuba is facing the biggest protests it has seen in decades. People there are frustrated with the country’s economic situation and how officials have responded to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Then Danny Shaw, senior research fellow at the Council on Hemispheric Affairs shares his perspective.
