Dec. 4, 2025: Protecting children from social media harm; Venezuelans living in the shadows

Protecting children from the harmful side of social media has been a years-long fight, but Congress may finally be taking action. Today we hear about one mother’s determination to bring change in memory of her daughter. Then, they followed the rules set up by the federal government, but still face deportation. It’s just one development in the immigration debate affecting thousands of people in Colorado. And, he’s the only Colorado native to play in the Negro Baseball League. Now, a century later he finally gets his due.
