In Today’s Deep Dive:
Does the CDC’ new public mask wearing guidance for the vaccinated usher in a welcome return to normalcy or a new era of normalizing the erosion of medical privacy?
And in Courage or Cringe: Athletes sue the NFL over race-based algorithms, The Golden Globes and cancel culture and Marjorie Taylor Green names AOC as her bully.

Is the push to cancel the golden globes a righteous reckoning for a history of disparity, or a dismal display of piling on the virtue bandwagon?
And finally… should Marjorie Taylor Green the firebrand congresswomen be heard and believed about being bullied by powerful members of congress, or are her recent run-ins with other lawmakers simply proof of reaping what she’s sown?
