With the elections for president, the Senate and the House just 4½ months away, misinformation is on the rise. We’ll get into the kind of false narratives to look for on the campaign trail. Plus, how loopholes in medical billing underscore the importance of change at the state and local levels. And, the story of a remote-controlled robot that rescues swimmers in distress.

Here’s everything we talked about today:

• Post about the Republican National Committee from Jay Nordlinger on X
• “Even Doctors Like Me Are Falling Into This Medical Bill Trap” from The New York Times
• “Watch a robot race over Lake Michigan waves to help a swimmer” from MLive
• “Which sentence do you think is grammatically correct?” from YouGov
