Morning Announcements

Today marks one year since President Joe Biden’s inauguration, so let’s unpack what happened during his anniversary conference. The administration also announced that they will begin making 400 million N95 masks available for free starting next week. Then, we discuss the anti-critical race theory bill that was just passed in Florida, before moving to the Supreme Court’s ruling against Trump’s request to block the release of White House records. To close the show, we cover Puerto Rico's bankruptcy plan and Starbucks’ decision to drop its employee vaccination and testing requirements.
