Welcome to a special edition of the PDB this morning: a Big Five Update. Five critical updates on stories we’ve covered previously that are shaping America — and the world.

First, Joe Biden signed the climate change bill yesterday, but there’s a problem already with solar panels and slave labor. We’ll discuss.

Second, electricity prices hit a record high in Europe yesterday, and some businesses there are starting to shut down. I’ll explain the latest.

Third, the Biden Administration has increased its aid to Ukraine, this time to help them pay down their national deficit. I’ve got those details.

Fourth, America’s tariffs on Chinese products are likely to stay put, all because of Nancy Pelosi’s visit to Taiwan. I’ll explain the connection.

Finally, a man robbed a bank in Lebanon last week to get his own money. We’ll talk about how this curious crime illustrates how desperate things are in that Middle Eastern country.

And finally, one last thing before I let you go. A question from Brandon and Rafeal on how to persuade in-laws when talking politics. Oh this’ll be fun.
