Happy Monday.
As of this writing, the Senate is about to start voting on President Trump's domestic spending agenda, which is now estimated to add a staggering $3.3 trillion to the deficit and devastate social safety net programs. Poll after poll shows that most people hate the GOP's plan, including Elon Musk, who re-upped his public wrestling match this weekend to blast the bill as "utterly insane."
So, who does the bill benefit? The rich, of course. Speaking of, I am still reeling from the nuptials of Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez. As I wrote in a brief reflection on Sunday, my feed was inundated with photos from the multiday affair, which appeared just as ostentatious and tacky as you probably would expect from this flock.

P.S: This weekend's episode of Reveal explores the wild world of pronatalism, a growing movement that aims to solve the so-called population crisis by making more babies. This week, our colleagues take a look inside NatalCon, a gathering where embryo optimization meets Old Testament values. You can listen to the full episode here.
