Immigration politics have taken center stage after migrants were flown from Texas to Martha’s Vineyard last week.  Gov. Ron DeSantis of Florida has waded into the story after his administration chartered a plane to fly 48 immigrants there at a cost of $615,000.  What’s happened now is that some of the migrants have filed a lawsuit saying they were “lured” to take the flights through fraud and misrepresentation and a Texas sheriff has opened an investigation into the legality of the move.  Gary Fineout, reporter at Politico and author of the Florida Playbook, joins us for what to know.



Next, why does it seem like so many kids need glasses these days?  Myopia, or nearsightedness, for decades was thought to be just a genetic condition, but optometrists are seeing kids come in with vision worse than their parents.  Cutting back on screen time and spending more time outdoors and in open space could help, but there is also a sprouting market for treatments to slow the progression called “myopia control” or “myopia management.”  These can take the form or contacts, lenses or drops.  Sarah Zhang, staff writer at the Atlantic, joins us for more on the myopia generation.
