Hey, about that “discredited” dossier: not so fast. McClatchy has the tip that Michael Cohen was too in Prague, and that Robert Mueller knows it. Over at the Washington Post, Philip Bump explains exactly how heavy a domino this is – if it’s true.
A bit more of the news roundup, then MARK KASTEL of Cornucopia explains a terrible trend — why America’s organic farmers are not only fleeing the business, but in some cases taking their own lives (more on that latter herefrom the Guardian).
