As the Northeast United States contends with the aftermath of a historic bomb cyclone blizzard that blanketed the region, we speak to climate scientist Michael Mann about the causes and effects of increasingly intense weather events. "We expect to see that increase as long as we continue to warm up the planet by burning fossil fuels and putting carbon pollution into the atmosphere," says Mann. Meanwhile, he adds, policy decisions are making it harder to prepare for extreme weather. With its defunding of scientific infrastructure across the country, "the Trump administration is truly putting Americans in harm's way."

We speak with Mosab Abu Toha, the Pulitzer Prize-winning Palestinian poet and author from Gaza, who responds to recent developments in the region including the Trump administration's policy on Palestine, a recent report finding that the genocide's death toll is much higher than originally reported and more.
Responding to Mike Huckabee's recent comments suggesting Israel has the biblical right to expand throughout the Middle East, Abu Toha says, "As a Palestinian, I don't belong to anywhere else than Palestine. My grandparents were living in Yaffa in 1948 before they were expelled. They didn't know about the Bible." He notes that the situation in Gaza remains dire despite the so-called ceasefire. "It's still a genocide, ongoing."

We continue our conversation with attorney Laura Marquez-Garrett and victim advocates Lori Schott and Lennon Torres about their fight to hold tech giants accountable for the damaging and even deadly effects of social media addiction on children and young adults. We're also joined by Frances Haugen, a former Facebook employee who blew the whistle on several of the company's harmful and manipulative practices in 2021. Haugen says mega-rich tech "oligarchs" like Mark Zuckerberg cared about teenagers only as people who could bring others onto the platform. "They worried about public perception, not the actual health of the kids," says Haugen, adding that companies like Zuckerberg's Facebook "under-invested in the safety of children," ignoring years of warnings about the psychological impacts of their products on child development in favor of "optimiz[ing] for spending more and more time on these platforms."

The partial reopening of Gaza's southern Rafah crossing with Egypt has been marked by chaos and severe restrictions imposed by Israel, as tens of thousands of Palestinians continue to wait for medical evacuation to receive urgent care outside the Gaza Strip. According to U.N. data, only 36 Palestinians in need of medical treatment were allowed to leave Gaza during the first four days of the crossing's reopening. Palestinians permitted to reenter Gaza have also reported abuse and hourslong interrogations. This comes amid growing skepticism over the implementation of the second phase of the Trump-brokered ceasefire, which Israel has repeatedly violated with near-daily attacks across Gaza since the truce took effect in October.
"No one inside Gaza is calling this a ceasefire," says Arwa Damon, former CNN correspondent and the founder of INARA, a nonprofit organization that supports children impacted by war. She says ongoing Israeli restrictions on medical evacuation are essentially a death sentence for many people, including children. "They are either going to end up with permanent injury or they are going to die."
