An insane level of corruption—even for Trump. A $1.7 BILLION slush fund for Trump’s hand-picked stooges to hand money to January 6th insurrectionists and his political allies. Here’s the President’s priority as Americans sell their plasma to afford gas and groceries:

Trump poised to drop IRS suit, launch $1.7B 'weaponization' fund for allies: Sources
President Trump is expected to drop his $10 billion IRS suit in exchange for the creation of a $1.7 billion fund for victims of governmental "weaponization," sources say.

McGovern: I think Trump is seriously ill. He needs medical attention. There needs to be an intervention from his family or someone in his cabinet—I would say some of the Republicans here, but they don’t have the balls to confront him on anything.

Watching a series of former Confederate states rush to eliminate any vestige of black representation in the House pretty much answers the question whether the Voting Rights Act was still necessary.

"Sometimes Trump says the cost was worth it to stop Iran from getting a nuclear weapon. But in his next sentence, he often adds—as he did in that May 1 speech—that we wiped out Iran’s nuclear program last year." Interesting communications strategy.

Seattle soared to prosperity with the help of cheap power from city-owned dams in the North Cascades. Now, after more than a century, it has agreed to pay three Indigenous tribes about $1.35 billion for some of the wealth it extracted from the Skagit River.

After a Century Powering Its Growth With Dams, Seattle Settles With Tribes That Lost Their River - Inside Climate News
As part of its relicensing of three dams on the Skagit River, Seattle City Light is paying $1.35 billion to three tribes, which will raise electricity rates but help the river and reservations.

Brett Meiselas says RFK Jr. blaming teenagers' sperm and Dr. Oz saying Americans are "under babied" are not only weird—they miss the point. The reason people aren't having kids is simple: income inequality has become so extreme that Americans can barely afford housing and food, let alone raise kids.
