Summary

This week, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis expressed his support for what critics are calling the “Don't Say Gay” bill. It could restrict LGBTQ discussion in elementary schools and allow parents to sue in some cases. Plus, cryptocurrency spends big to reach 100 million people. And, why a failed, vague agreement holds promise in the Ukraine-Russia crisis. Guests: Axios' Selene San Felice, Dan Primack, and Zach Basu.
