Back to work on a Monday with lots of things to share with friends and co-workers.  Here are today’s 5 THINGS YOU NEED TO KNOW.

 

 

1. The Supreme Court will hear arguments today over whether states can bar social media companies from moderating political content on their platforms, one of three social media disputes before the court this term.

 

 

 

 

 

2. The unusually warm weather is all the talk.  Today, there could be some record highs set in Kansas with temperatures in the upper 70’s and low 80’s

 

 

 

 

3. Get to know the name Abi Carter.  Last night on American Idol she performed “What Was I Made For”, by Billie Eilish and won the 2nd Platinum ticket.  It was so good, it made the crew on the set clap and according to the judges, they’ve never done that before.

 

 

 

 

 

4. If you or a family member suffer from severe food allergies, there is hope. A widely used drug treating chronic severe asthma also significantly reduces reactions to many common food allergens, according to new research. Marketed under the brand name Xolair, the drug is the first preventive treatment that protects users from accidental life-threatening exposures.

 

 

 

 

5. and a husband is going jail for illegally making money behind his wife’s back. Sort of sounds like “Breaking Bad”, but it’s not meth, it’s insider trading. He eavesdropped on his wife’s phone calls while she worked in trades and acquisitions.  He heard BP was buying Travel Centers of American and he purchased almost 47,000 shares in the company.  The stock rose 71% and he made almost $2M.  The wife was fired even though there was no evidence that she helped him, she divorced her husband and he’s going to jail.  …AND THAT’S TRENDING.
