  • Since last year? USD inflation has been 5.1%, so assuming the 7.5% spending increase to $9.8b doesn't account for inflation, the flat number for 2022 was $9.1b, and adding on an inflation adjustment would mean 2022 spending in 2023 dollars was $9.6b, meaning a 2.1% comparative increase in 2023 dollars. But they don't link to the study, so I can't say whether they already accounted for inflation or not.

    Ultimately the record $9.8b number may or may not account for inflation, but either way, if it doesn't, I'm sure that it's near the peak.

  • I don't know if OP mangled it or CNN updated it, but the headline on the site currently has an additional "her".

    The link preview here on lemmy is generated shortly after submission, I think, and not updated later on, so I think OP managed to omit it somehow.

  • Borne solicited someone he believed was underage for sex and encouraged them to make child sex abuse material

    So he got stung by a cop pretending to be a kid. Eh. I'm fine with not having tax dollars pay for his room and board if there wasn't any actual harm committed. The guy knows he's going to be under a microscope for the rest of his life, so I doubt he'll ever try this again.
