show moreHere are the stories that she gave her take on:
1. ASSOCIATED PRESS: "‘No corner of the global economy will be spared’: How America’s first-ever default would tank the entire world"
2. AUDIO: Maryland Senator Chris Van Hollen, a Democrat, outlines Republican Carelessness and Hypocrisy when it comes to the debt ceiling
3. AXIOS: "Nearly 2 billion at risk from "unprecedented" climate conditions"
4. AXIOS: "U.S. lawmakers OK'd more pro-gun bills than safety measures since Uvalde"
5. AXIOS: "Surgeon general issues advisory about social media risks for kids"
For the remainder of the show, Leslie is joined by Jessica Levinson, Professor at Loyola Law School, Legal Contributor for CBS News, Columnist for MSNBC, and host of the 'Passing Judgment podcast.'
The two discuss two important legal stories that affect America's children.
The first story is about Penguin Random House, advocates and authors suing a Florida school district over book bans.
The subject of the second story is legislation that was recently passed by Iowa's Republican legislature that would rollback certain child labor laws in the state. The Department of Labor is pushing back on the legislation though, which will likely setup a court battle between the two.
