While Ocasio-Cortez advocates for single-payer healthcare and free tuition, critics point to factual discrepancies in her funding models and the historical failures of similar economic systems in Venezuela. The political landscape shifts further as Congressman Matt Gaetz files an FEC complaint against Twitter, alleging that the platform’s search auto-fill feature constitutes an illegal corporate contribution by suppressing Republican accounts. Corporate upheaval continues at CBS as Chairman Les Moonves faces sexual misconduct allegations from actress Ileana Douglas and others, surfacing amidst a bitter power struggle with Shari Redstone over a potential Viacom merger. Simultaneously, Fox News sees the departure of Kimberly Guilfoyle following an internal HR investigation into workplace behavior, while Facebook suffers a historic $119 billion market value collapse. In the tech sector, an ACLU test of Amazon Rekognition software incorrectly matched 28 members of Congress with criminal mugshots, raising urgent questions about racial bias in facial recognition algorithms and the reliability of centralized data. International tensions and domestic tragedies round out the report, from the return of Korean War remains by Kim Jong-un to the fatal shooting of Houston cardiologist Mark Hausknecht. The City of Austin Equity Office sparks local debate with a proposal to rename the city due to the pro-slavery history of Stephen F. Austin. This episode features a knighting ceremony for Lady Simona, the Dame of Purple Goats, as the value-for-value model continues to sustain the broadcast. ## Chapters Each chapter's transcript is at its own link.
