Crooked Media - What A Day: This? Is CNN?

The crisis at the southern border is ramping up due to the expiration of Title 42. 

Starting May 13, the number of migrants crossing each day is likely to double from its current average. But there is a plan—maybe. 

Humanitarian crises aren't going away and we must figure out a better plan. Where is Brownie when you need him?

If you’ve felt a certain electricity in the air this week it’s not just radiation poisoning, it's also EUROVISION FEVER! The final round of the Eurovision Song Contest is taking place this Saturday in Liverpool, England. Eurovision is a song competition that started between seven European countries trying to repair ties after war and has since ballooned to 40 countries. Europe loves this competition almost as much as Americans love to ignore it, but the competition hopes to change that starting now. For the second year in a row, the it will be hosted by American figure skater Johnny Weir. And for the first time ever, anyone in the world can vote, not just those from the countries in the competition.

Just as important as the quality of the songs is the often eye-popping and sometimes silly visual aspect. Kitsch and camp are king at Eurovision and performances will likely be filled with vibrant colors, acrobatics, magic, and more. In that respect, Eurovision may finally be in line with America’s tastes, judging by the successes of such ultra-campy U.S. series like America’s Got Talent and RuPaul’s Drag Race (which lost E.P. Tim Palazzola in yesterday’s Paramount bloodbath). Another reason for the heightened interest is the growing global love of last year’s winning country, Ukraine. Each year the host country has been the previous year’s winner—until now. Unable to safely hold the competition, Ukraine has passed hosting duties to last year's runner-up, England. And yes, Americans can watch the finals on Peacock at 3 p.m. ET.

We might not be winning the war on illicit drugs, but we’re doing far better keeping legal drugs out of the hands of the people that need them. Drug shortages have hit a five-year high, and the White House has assembled a secret team to combat both the shortages and the increasing number of inferior-quality drugs in the market. Americans are struggling to fill prescriptions across the board, even the most common antibiotics. You can blame larger market forces that are driving generic manufacturers out of business, driving up prices, and exacerbating shortages. According to the American Society of Hospital Pharmacists, 237 drugs are currently in short supply.

The team is developing tools to keep this from happening in the future. They’d like to be able to better predict potential drug shortages before they start, create a quality-score system for facilities that make generics, and provide more funding for the FDA to increase unannounced inspections. They also aim to crack down on inferior products imported from foreign manufacturers and require them to keep electronic records instead of paper ones, since they have a curious history of being lost or destroyed.
