Chris Hayes of All In With Chris Hayes discussed the controversial police training facility known as “Cop City” outside of Atlanta, applauding the protesters who oppose it and criticizing legislators who authorized its building. He downplayed violence from leftist extremists and ignored evidence of online intimidation tactics by Antifa groups against city council members who approved the funds. Hayes failed to mention that the facility would train all first responders in the area, not just police, and would increase the safety of the area. The spike in violent crime in 2020 might have been due to the pandemic, and violent crime is rapidly declining now, Hayes explained.

Supporters of the bill say it would give merchants greater choice, potentially lowering fees, with big retailers such as Walmart and Target already supporting the bill.

The Epoch Times: Study: Replacing Lost Bacteria Alleviates Long COVID
A study presented at the Digestive Disease Week conference in Chicago has suggested that a mixture of Bifidobacteria species in pill form could reduce symptoms associated with post-acute COVID-19 syndrome (PACS) or long COVID. The study included 463 subjects who had at least one of the 14 common long-COVID symptoms four months after infection. After six months of treatment, the patients taking the pill had better improvement in symptoms of fatigue, memory loss, difficulty concentrating, digestive problems, and general unwellness than the control group. Bifidobacteria strains have been linked to immunity and are believed to have many health-promoting properties. Another study published in early 2022 used the same formula for 28 days on 25 hospitalized patients, speeding up antibody formation against the SARS-CoV-2 virus. The study also reported a reduced nasopharyngeal viral load, reduced proinflammatory immune markers, and resolved gut dysbiosis. The study used control groups. Previously, Bifidobacteria were known to help reduce colds and influenza.

National Review: Gavin Newsom Proposes Constitutional Amendment to Impose Gun Restrictions Nationwide
California Governor Gavin Newsom announced a proposal for a 28th amendment to the U.S. Constitution aimed at enshrining gun restrictions nationwide, while “leaving the [Second] Amendment unchanged”.

Forbes: AC Milan Have Scored A PR Own Goal In Sacking Paolo Maldini
AC Milan's sacking of club royalty and successful figurehead, Paolo Maldini, has eventuated due to his ideological differences with owner Gerry Cardinale regarding how to move the club forward. Milan's tight budget, allegedly set to be repeated this summer, frustrated Maldini who believed the club was at risk of plateauing. His calls for more investment to make the leap in quality were not well-received by RedBird. Player sales have also been problematic where Milan has not made enough to improve squad depth. Maldini's sacking will test RedBird's ability to maintain the support of Milan fans who were already unhappy with its ownership with the upcoming transfer window taking on greater significance.

Daily Wire: Trash, Crowds, And Dead Bodies: Climbing Mount Everest In 2023
Mount Everest, the world's highest peak, is becoming more popular to climb than ever before, with a record number of permits issued for climbing this year. However, this increased interest has led to overcrowding on the mountain, which has contributed to a high rate of fatalities, with 12 climbers already pronounced dead and 5 missing in the first few months of this year alone. In addition, the mountain is littered with trash, which is too costly and dangerous to remove. The current guidelines for climbers prohibit solo climbing, require that climbers have previously reached a peak at least 7,000 feet high and forbid those over 75, double amputees, and blind persons from climbing.

The New American: EPA Has No Authority to Implement Proposed ‘Green’ Power Plant Standards - The New American
Republican lawmakers and witnesses at a hearing this week warned that the EPA's proposed Green House Gas (GHG) standards for power plants will jeopardize Americans' access to affordable and reliable electricity. The requirements will limit the operation of coal-fired generators in 23 states and cause power plant operators to shut down nearly every coal-fired unit by 2030 or 2039. There are concerns that such regulations could also lead to insufficient operating reserves and unstable power grids across the nation. While some supporters of the EPA’s proposed standards argue that the impacts of the proposal are modest, others say the technology and policy changes needed to achieve a zero-emissions, high-energy planet at an affordable cost are not yet in place.
