A 'Minor Incursion'
Jan 21, 2022•47 min
Episode description
Mary Katharine and Vic unpack Biden's lengthly press conference, from 95 (or is it 98?) percent of schools reopening to Russia's 'minor incursion' in the Ukraine. In coronavirus news, Prime Minister Boris Johnson ends masking in schools and vaccine passports, a Los Angeles charter school quarantines unvaccinated students, and NPR wrongly reports a mask fight between Supreme Court justices.
