Fact check: Biden freezes rule on health center insulin, EpiPen prices
...Some patients who use insulin and EpiPens — the fraction who are served by federally qualified health centers — may benefit from Trump's order, but others could suffer if it results in decreased access for the centers to the 340B drug discount program. Also, the freeze through March 22 does not represent final action on the program, so it's premature to call it a "reversal."...

Interview:
A transfer of power (The Center for Investigative Reporting, Reveal podcast)
As the nation swears in President Joe Biden, we look at the long shadow cast by the forces that brought Donald Trump to power.
Reporter Chris Jones describes the scene on the ground in Washington during the inauguration. While the inauguration is usually a celebration, Joe Biden’s was markedly quieter – due to both the pandemic and heightened security. After Donald Trump supporters stormed the Capitol in early January, the city has been on edge.
Then we hear from two people who call Washington their home. Reveal’s Anjali Kamat tells the story of military veteran Arianna Evans, whose relationship with the capital city has changed dramatically since she joined the Black Lives Matter protests over the summer. Then, host Al Letson talks to D.C. Councilmember Charles Allen about the challenges of managing the city in the aftermath of the insurrection. He says constituents are bitter about the inconsistent response law enforcement had to Trump supporters as compared with Black Lives Matter protesters over the summer.
Then we delve into the role right-wing evangelicals played in bringing Trump to power. Sarah Posner, author of “Unholy: Why White Evangelicals Worship at the Altar of Donald Trump,” discusses why the religious right was on display during the violent insurrection.
Letson closes the hour with a discussion with Robert Jeffress, senior pastor at the megachurch First Baptist Church of Dallas. Jeffress has weekly radio and TV shows that reach an audience of millions and says he doesn’t think Trump will ever accept that he lost the election.

Eerie Theories: The Psychology Behind Conspiracy (The 1A)
Conspiracy theorists have enjoyed the Trump presidency. Wild false notions about the deaths of high-profile American figures and what was really going on behind closed doors in Washington and Hollywood took over certain sections of the internet.
But the link between online conspiracy theories and real-life behavior has clarified as conspiracy theorists like Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) began running for elected office. And as President Trump, along with his associates and supporters, began questioned the legitimacy of the 2020 election despite no evidence of fraud.
Find our conversation about how Qanon supporters hijacked #SaveTheChildren.
It all came to a head when insurrectionists, who believed the president’s lie that the election had been stolen, stormed the Capitol building while Congress was certifying the electoral votes for the 2020 election.
Why are conspiracy theories so enticing? And how can we combat conspiratorial thinking?

The News Roundup — Domestic (The 1A) 2021-01-29
President Joe Biden announced that his administration is ordering 200 million more doses of COVID-19 vaccine. The White House says an order that size will be enough to vaccinate the entire country by early fall. American health officials are now recommending that Americans wear two protective facial coverings (also known as double masking) in an effort to stem the spread of coronavirus variants, two of which were discovered in the U.K. and Brazil.
A study found that a single mask may only be 50 percent effective in blocking aerosols while double masking increases protection to 91 percent.
The House of Representatives delivered an article of impeachment to the Senate ahead of former president Donald Trump’s conviction trial, his second. However, there’s little support among GOP senators for conviction.
