Summary
Last night we tuned in to the prime-time airing of the Jan. 6 committee hearing (we’d love to hear your thoughts if you were too). And today we’re going to talk about it. We’ve also got updates on COVID testing for international flyers to the U.S. and a possible falling out between Meta and its chief operating officer, Sheryl Sandberg. Then during Half Full/Half Empty, Kai and Kimberly weigh in on financial literacy classes, the Novavax COVID vaccine, converting classic cars into electric vehicles, a new European Union tech rule and Taco Bell’s new drive-thru architecture.
Here’s everything we talked about on the show today:
- “Ginni Thomas pressed 29 Ariz. lawmakers to help overturn Trump’s defeat, emails show” from The Washington Post
- The official statement from Washington Commanders head coach Ron Rivera regarding defensive coordinator Jack Del Rio’s comments
- “U.S. to lift covid testing requirement for fliers entering the country” from The Washington Post
