The trillion-dollar case against Meta

About this episode

Opening statements began on Tuesday in a massive case against Meta that alleges the social media giant crafted its Instagram and Facebook platforms to hook children. We discuss the lawsuit with Russell Coleman of Kentucky, one of the state attorneys general suing Meta. 

Then, construction on a controversial border wall in Big Bend National Park in Texas is on hold after bipartisan opposition. Terrell County Sheriff Thaddeus Cleveland explains why he's concerned about the plans. 

And, ordinary Venezuelans are still struggling, nearly two months after a devastating double earthquake killed thousands and more than seven months since U.S. special forces seized autocratic leader Nicolas Maduro and his wife. We get the latest from Phil Gunson of the International Crisis Group.
