The Intelligence from The Economist - Death of a salesman: Silvio Berlusconi
Italy’s longest-serving prime minister has died aged 86. He inspired as much derision as devotion, and for all his gaffes and scandals he helped to shape the country’s media—and its economic malaise. Unfettered by the abandoned nuclear deal, Iran is now making its bomb programme unassailable. And bringing the 20th-century idea of “Smell-o-vision” into the 21st.

Opening Arguments - OA759: The “Socks” Case – Don’t Take Legal Advice From Judicial Watch! (feat. Kel McClanahan)
Republicans are saying that the "Clinton sock drawer case" - Judicial Watch v. NARA - means that Trump didn't violate the Espionage Act and can just declare anything he wants to be a "personal" record.
That's nonsense, of course.

What A Day - When It Arraigns, It Pours
Former President Donald Trump will appear in federal court in Miami today to be arraigned on 37 federal counts over his alleged mishandling of classified documents. It’s his second court appearance as a criminal defendant this year – and he is expected to plead not guilty.
SB 1718, a sweeping anti-immigration law signed by Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, takes effect next month. It bears striking similarities to a ballot measure passed by California voters almost 30 years ago called Proposition 187, which galvanized the state’s Latino communities. L.A. Times columnist Gustavo Arellano joins us to discuss whether SB 1718 will have the same effect in the Sunshine State.
And in headlines: youth activists sued Montana in a first-of-its kind case over climate change, New York City has become the first city to mandate a minimum wage for app-based food delivery workers, and two non binary actors made history at this year’s Tony Awards.
