📹: Drake spent $1mln in a Houston strip club a day after his performance with Travis Scott at the Astroworld festival resulted in a deadly stampede, claims musician DJ Akademiks.

He posted a video from Area 29, showing the club's floor covered with money and women, presumably strippers, counting money.

A man can be heard shouting "say thanks Drake". "Thanks Drake", the women reply.

DJ Akademiks' claims appear to have been corroborated by the club itself. In a since-deleted post, Area 29 thanked @champagnepappi (Drake's Instagram account) for the visit.

🤬 Bruce Schroeder, the judge in the Kyle Rittenhouse case, has received several threatening emails, the Daily Mail reports.

One of the emails cited by the media outlet referred to how the judge prohibited the prosecutor from calling those shot by Rittenhouse "victims".

Other messages slam Schroeder as a "racist", claiming that under his black court robe he "wear[s] a white robe of the [Ku Klux] klan".

Schroeder himself told the Washington Examiner that he and his staffers have received "thousands of communications" and promised to "deal" with those who sent the threatening messages.

Pop goes the BBB: Donald Trump's economic adviser, Stephen Moore, believes that the highest inflation rate in three decades will help to kill US President Joe Biden’s $1.75 trillion Build Back Better (BBB) act.

🗣 Moore proclaimed that “inflation is resonating with the people” and mused that there is a “50-50 chance” that the bill will be stopped.

Moore has also said that "our strategy has been delay, delay, delay," in trying to combat the passage of the bill, adding that measures such as the BBB's child tax credit could prompt the loss of anywhere between six and eight million workers.
