Republican Efforts to Prosecute Fauci Are Hitting a Wall
A Republican push to prosecute Dr. Anthony Fauci for contempt of Congress has stalled as the Trump administration questions whether the legal approach supports an indictment by the Justice Department.
Three weeks after a GOP-led Senate committee voted to hold Fauci in contempt of Congress, some administration officials are skeptical that the current approach is procedurally sound enough to indict him for failing to answer questions before lawmakers.

Trump Jokes About Renaming the Atlantic and Pacific
President Donald Trump on Thursday signed an executive order renaming Lake Ontario ‘Lake America,’ then joked that the Atlantic and Pacific oceans could be next.
Said Trump: “So if you think about it, we have a gulf and we have a lake. Now all we need is an ocean. So maybe we’ll have to change the name of the Atlantic and or the Pacific. Maybe we’ll change them both.”
By now, we should understand that Trump doesn’t joke. He tells us what he’s going to do.

Russia Was Forced to Cut Spending After Running Out of Cash
Russia imposed sharp spending restrictions after an April liquidity crisis exposed the mounting costs of its war in Ukraine.
A tight austerity regime was introduced after Finance Minister Anton Siluanov warned Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin that there wouldn’t be enough cash that month to make all the necessary payments on time, as the Treasury’s federal budget balances fell to a negative 5.5 trillion rubles ($65.3 billion).
