Jenna previews a consequential week of news heading into Easter weekend from the space race to social media company lawsuits and the headlines in between (including sharks ... on painkillers).

On The Middle East: Pres. Trump expresses optimism about a deal with Iran, references a 15-point plan, claims Iran is shipping large amounts of oil, and loosely characterizes leadership changes as “regime change,” while escalation indicators include Houthi attacks on Israel, increased U.S. troop levels (about 50,000 vs. a typical 40,000), Israel-Hezbollah exchanges, and NATO intercepting Iranian missiles aimed at Turkey. 

On The Economy: Rising oil prices impact the economy and move the markets into "correction" territory (a decline of 10% off their highs).

In The Courtroom: Major jury verdicts against Meta, YouTube, on child safety and “addictive” designs. These lawsuits challenge Section 230 protections.

In Space: A possible Artemis II launch is schedule for Wednesday. We detail a 10-day crewed mission around the Moon, and discusses space as strategic “high ground.”
