This week’s headlines include a deadly lightning strike outside the White House, Alex Jones’ lawyer’s big goof, CPAC art installations, and the less-effective IRA (Inflation Reduction Act). Updates about abortion rights across the country, some light speculation on what that might mean for the midterms, and two LA political figures visiting Colorado to learn about community alternatives to policing. Keeping on that theme, our mutual aid babe of the week is the Colorado Community Fridge Program!
