Coming up on Washington Week with The Atlantic:
Porn Stars, Parasitic Brain Worms & Presidential Politics:
It's been a week of weird political headlines related to the looming presidential election.
Adult film star Stormy Daniels testified for several hours in former President Donald Trump’s hush money trial. Presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. confirmed that a dead worm was found in his brain over a decade ago. And Governor Kristi Noem (R-SD) abruptly ended her book tour following a series of bruising interviews surrounding questions about the killing of her 14-month-old dog and her claim that she met North Korean Dictator Kim Jong Un.
