A perfect blend of work and play. Top Story A Tale of Two Ships The Story The search continues for a missing submersible. What's the latest? Time and oxygen are running out as officials look for the OceanGate vessel that went missing on an expedition to the Titanic wreckage. Authorities estimated that the oxygen for the five passengers on the 21-foot submersible would officially run out today. The missing vessel, which includes a British billionaire and two members of a wealthy Pakistani family, has taken over the airwaves and prompted an international response. Since the sub disappeared on Sunday, the British Royal Navy, French specialists, and more ships have joined the US Coast Guard's search-and-rescue operations. Now, many are calling the dedicated efforts a double standard. Explain. Human rights advocates point to the multiple migrant shipwrecks in the past week that have failed to get as much media attention or resources. Last week, at least 82 migrants coming from Syria, Egypt, and Pakistan drowned off the coast of Greece after authorities failed to immediately intervene. 500 others haven't been found and are believed to be dead. Yesterday, at least 35 migrants reportedly died after an inflatable boat sank before reaching the Canary Islands. One human rights lawyer said the glaring difference between the submersible search and events in the Mediterranean "sends a message…that our lives are cheap comparatively." theSkimm The world's oceans now reflect the two different realities people face when out at sea. In the Atlantic, resources are being poured out to find a missing billionaire, CEO, and others, while questions still remain about hundreds of migrants lost in the Mediterranean.

Adam Schiff (D-CA). Yesterday, the Republican-led House voted along party lines to censure Schiff for leading investigations into former President Trump. Schiff led a congressional probe into the Trump campaign's alleged ties to Russia and the impeachment proceedings against the former president. Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL) pushed the censure resolution, saying Schiff misled the American public about Trump's actions. The California Democrat, who's running for Senate, called the accusations "false and defamatory." Now, Schiff is the 25th House member to ever be censured. Where the numbers aren't adding up… National test scores. Yesterday, new national data revealed that the average test scores for 13-year-olds in math and reading fell to their lowest levels in decades. The declines were across the board, regardless of gender, race, or region. Math and reading scores dropped by nine and four points, respectively. The lowest-performing students scored at levels not seen since the 1970s, when the assessment first began. Now, officials say the data shows kids are struggling to make up for lost learning during COVID. What might not be feeling prime… Amazon. Yesterday, the Federal Trade Commission sued the company for allegedly tricking and trapping people into Prime memberships. The FTC's accusing Amazon of enrolling millions of customers into automatically-renewing subscriptions without their consent and making the cancellation process difficult. Amazon says the FTC's claims are "false on the facts and the law" and plans to take the case to court. What's got real chickens saying 'egg-cellent'... Lab-grown meat. Yesterday, the Agriculture Dept approved the sale of cell-cultured chicken from two start-ups. Upside Foods and Good Meat both take cells from chickens and grow them in steel tanks to produce meat that's formed into patties, fillets or sausages. Now, the meat will be sold in a couple of restaurants in the US before making its way to grocery stores. Who really got a stamp of approval… The late Rep. John Lewis (D-GA).
