TRUMP TWEETS ON WORLD AIDS DAY -- BUT HIS BUDGET CUTS FUNDING President Donald Trump’s tweet Sunday recognizing World AIDS Day was met with criticism from Democrats, who pointed out that his administration’s proposed budget for 2020 would slash funding for global HIV programs, putting countless lives at risk. [HuffPost]
BREXIT PARTY LEADER EXCUSES TRUMP'S P***Y REMARK During a debate among Britain’s party leaders ahead of its upcoming election, Nigel Farage excused Trump’s infamous boast about grabbing women “by the p***y.” Farage downplayed Trump’s comments as the kind of “dreadful things” men sometimes say after drinking.

BLOOMBERG RIDES GOLDEN AGE FOR SUPER-RICH POLITICIANS The election of America’s first billionaire president came in the midst of a golden age for super-rich political candidates. Billionaires and centi-millionaires increasingly ran for and won political office in the years after the Great Recession immiserated millions of non-rich Americans and made the rich richer. Bloomberg helped lead the way. [HuffPost]
WHAT TO KNOW ABOUT THE NEXT RECESSION Don’t ask when the next recession will come. Nobody knows. But the consensus — among those who don’t actually know — is at some point in 2020, probably in time to liven up the presidential election. This should give Democrats plenty of room to argue that the government should increase spending to juice the economy. [HuffPost]
9 KILLED AFTER PLANE CRASHES IN STORM Nine people, including two children, were killed when the small plane they were aboard crashed shortly after takeoff in South Dakota. The plane ― a Pilatus PC-12 ― had reportedly been traveling in “blizzard-like” conditions. [HuffPost]
BORIS JOHNSON IS AVOIDING A ONE-ON-ONE WITH TRUMP Trump heads to London this week for the 70th anniversary of the NATO alliance. But British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, who is friendly with Trump, "sent very clear 'stay away' instructions, and that's because in about 10 days there are really important elections in Britain," Axios White House editor Margaret Talev says. [CNN]
IRAN SEES WORST UNREST IN 40 YEARS Iran is experiencing its deadliest political unrest since the Islamic Revolution 40 years ago, with at least 180 people killed — and possibly hundreds more — as angry protests have been smothered in a government crackdown of unbridled force. [New York Times]
SPAIN MIGHT BE WORLD'S MOST IMPORTANT CLIMATE TEST At the start of this year, Spain's Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez became the first major world leader to endorse the idea of a “Green New Deal.” Now, as Madrid prepares to host the United Nations’ 25th Conference of the Parties, Sánchez’s government is offering a new vision of what it might look like to close the income gap and lower emissions at once.
