Today's headlines: An expose by the New York Times is spotlighting underage migrant children as they’re illegally employed to make products for well known brands in dangerous and underpaid jobs. House Speaker Kevin McCarthy has unilaterally decided to provide Fox News anchor Tucker Carlson with exclusive access to 42-thousand hours of footage from the capitol on January 6th. President Biden announced yesterday that he plans to nominate Julie Su as the new Secretary of Labor. The Department of Energy briefed lawmakers on a classified intelligence report that the covid pandemic likely arose from an accidental leak at a laboratory in Wuhan.
