Notable Events of the Week:
- “The vicious attack on Paul Pelosi, husband of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), is a reminder of what the 2022 election is about. It is of course about who holds power in Congress and the states. But will it do anything to change the toxic environment in which politics and governing are carried out? Or could it make things worse?” Washington Post
- “Congressional Republicans, eyeing a midterm election victory that could hand them control of the House and the Senate, have embraced plans to reduce federal spending on Social Security and Medicare, including cutting benefits for some retirees and raising the retirement age for both safety net programs.” NY Times
- “Fueled by Billionaires, Political Spending Shatters Records Again In the money race between America’s billionaires and small donors, the emerging political oligarchy is showing staying power. Both parties have megadonors, but Republicans have far more.” NY Times
