WSJ What’s News · Why Stocks Are Diving After a Strong May Jobs Report · 5 Jun 2026 podcast

So the flounder situation, what are some other examples of stuff officials have spent money on that's making taxpayers freak out?

But I mean, state and local governments spend millions and even billions of dollars a year on all kinds of things.

So why are people so upset about these small transactions?

So I'm really curious what the aftermath or blowback of this has been.

Have any officials been charged or fired over this?

That was WSJ reporter Scott Calvert.

Thanks, Scott.

You heard from us yesterday about Russian elites' pessimism about the Ukraine war.

With Kyiv gaining momentum, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is seeking to revive peace talks.

And he sent a letter to Russian President Vladimir Putin offering to meet and bring the fighting to an end.

It's the first such letter from Zelensky to Putin since Russia's 2022 invasion.

Speaking at a major economic forum in St.

Petersburg today, Putin's answer was no.

Instead, he addressed Russian soldiers on the front line, telling them to keep fighting.

And that's What's News for this week.

Tomorrow, you can look out for our weekly markets wrap-up, What's News in Markets.

Then on Sunday, we'll be discussing SpaceX.

That's in What's News Sunday.

And we'll be back with our regular show on Monday morning.

Today's show is produced by Danny Lewis and Anthony Bansi with supervising producer Tali Arbel.
