New in PN: Mike Johnson runs out the clock on his own speakership
"He hasn't had *any* agenda beyond serving Trump. (Trump has boasted he’s effectively “the speaker and the president.”) If Blanche has reduced AG position to Trump’s lawyer, Johnson has transformed speakership into Trump’s lap dog."

What did a winter of tear gas leave in Minneapolis soil? U of M researchers are trying to find out.
The study aims to determine whether chemical munitions used by federal agents left contaminants in neighborhood gardens and soil.

Native American Tribes Came Together to Secure Their Rights to Colorado River Water. Four States Are Stalling the Deal.
Colorado, New Mexico, Utah and Wyoming are resisting the deal because it would allow the Navajo and Hopi to lease water to cities downstream, likely the growing towns around Phoenix.

There’s no reason even to consider reducing Social Security benefits or raising the age of eligibility.
