Russian oligarch Umar Kremlev footed the bill for hundreds of thousands of dollars of expenses at Donald Trump Jr.’s wedding, including renting out a private island. National security experts say it raises an urgent question: What motivated Kremlev to spend a fortune cultivating the connection?

There’s obviously a lot going on right now, but a Russian oligarch bankrolling the wedding of the president’s son is the kind of story that should dominate headlines in any functioning political culture.

Elizabeth Warren, AOC, and other members of Congress have introduced a bill to ban private equity funds from owning or controlling medical practices. This is a big deal. Here’s what you need to know about the shady private equity industry and how it operates.

This is what corruption looks like. A Russian oligarch close to Putin spends hundreds of thousands of dollars bankrolling celebrations for the president’s son. And we’re supposed to believe it was just a generous wedding gift with no strings attached? #StopTrumpCorruption

Trump's golf project will be far more expensive than anticipated and take way longer than anticipated. Plus it's already under way "without clearing the necessary bureaucratic hurdles or identifying how the project will be paid for." So, business as usual. 🙏 for our city. Gift link 🎁 wapo.st/4cGnO7i

Q: What are appropriate tie colors for a memorial service? A: Appropriate Colors: Black (the most traditional and safest option, symbolizing respect and solemnity), Charcoal or Dark Gray, Navy Blue, and Muted Dark Tones. Inappropriate Colors: Skip bright colors, like orange or red.

Statement from Irish President Catherine Connolly. Ireland, a country that suffered through colonialism and genocide at the hands the English, apparently, has little patience for Donald Trump's embrace of both colonialism and genocide. And President Connolly told him straight to his orange face.
