This week in America:

• Warped Tour and a full-on Trump military parade are happening at the same time in D.C. Because nothing says freedom like trying to mosh between tanks and fighter jets.
  

• A historian of fascism says Trump’s authoritarian sprint is faster than Putin’s.
  

• France is offering American scientists cash, visas, and croissants to escape U.S. anti-science policies.
  

• And Trump just restarted student loan collections after a five-year break.
