Jon Greenberg, staff writer at PolitiFact, discusses gun reform and the claims made by both Democrats and Republicans in the weeks following the Parkland school shooting. We first talk about comments made by the NRA's Dana Loesch who cherry-picked terrorism deaths in France to argue against an assault weapon ban in the states. Greenberg also discusses a social media post claiming that you can't vote without showing an I.D. but you can buy a gun without an I.D. PolitiFact rated this claim mostly false. Greenberg adds that the only place in the U.S. that does not require an I.D. to buy a gun is at a gun show. Greenberg weighs in briefly on whether he thinks we will see gun reform after the latest school shooting. He says his best suggestion is to take a look at our track record, and so far, little has been done.

Poll: More Americans think companies benefit from legal immigration
A new poll finds U.S. adults are more likely than they were a year ago to think immigrants in the country legally benefit the economy. That comes as President Donald Trump's administration imposes new restrictions targeting legal pathways into the country. The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research survey finds Americans are more likely than they were in March 2024 to say it’s a “major benefit” that people who come to the U.S. legally contribute to the economy and help American companies get the expertise of skilled workers. At the same time, perceptions of illegal immigration haven’t shifted meaningfully. Americans still see fewer benefits from people who come to the U.S. illegally.
Tylenol maker rebounds a day after unfounded claims about its safety
Shares of Tylenol maker Kenvue are bouncing back sharply before the opening bell a day after President Donald Trump promoted unproven and in some cases discredited ties between Tylenol, vaccines and autism. Trump told pregnant women not to use the painkiller around a dozen times during the White House news conference Monday. The drugmaker tumbled 7.5%. Shares have regained most of those losses early Tuesday in premarket trading.
