  The Masters begins today, which means it’s once again time to marvel at the dirt-cheap concession prices at Augusta National Golf Club. The classic pimento cheese sandwich costs $1.50, a chicken sandwich costs $3, and a beer costs $6.
  
  Think about it this way: You can get two egg salad sandwiches, a coffee, a breakfast sandwich, a ham & cheese on rye, a chicken biscuit, a blueberry muffin, and a beer for the same price as one honey deuce drink at last year’s US Open for tennis ($22).
  
  Of course, it’ll cost you well over $1,000 for a ticket, but that’s not really the point…

• ☕️What Else is Brewing Thursday Morning

  EPA imposes limits on “forever chemicals” in drinking water. You’ll likely soon be drinking less perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances, known as PFAS, thanks to the EPA setting the first-ever national restrictions on how much is allowed in tap water. The agency is imposing the strict new rules because PFAS have been associated with higher risk of cancer, heart disease, and several other health problems. Some states already measure and limit PFAS but areas that don’t will have three years to start and another two to reduce PFAS if the levels they find are too high.
  
  Arizona Republicans shut down Democrats’ attempts to overturn the 1864 abortion ban the state’s Supreme Court revived this week.
  
  An Israeli airstrike killed three sons of Hamas political leader Ismail Haniyeh. It’s not clear how this will impact cease-fire talks: Haniyeh said the strike was carried out in “the spirit of revenge and murder,” while Israel claimed the three were militants.
  
  Allen Weisselberg, the former CFO of the Trump Organization, was sentenced to five months in prison for giving false testimony in the New York attorney general’s civil fraud suit against Trump and his company.
  
  Italy began a new slander trial against Amanda Knox, the latest in a long-running saga that continues even after she was cleared of murder charges. The alleged slander stems from a false accusation Knox made while being questioned by police.
  
  The postal service plans to raise the price of “forever” stamps to $0.73 in July, so you may want to get yours now.
  
  Margot Robbie and her production company are working on a Monopoly movie, and we’re looking forward to a press tour where she wears a monocle.

• M&A momentum builds in Appalachia
  Mergers and acquisitions...
  Mergers and acquisitions targeting the Appalachian Basin could intensify soon, driven by heightened demand for premium natural gas assets, although access to midstream capacity is emerging as a key deal-making criterion, according to Daniel Crowley of investment bank Houlihan Lokey. "In the conversations I have with some producers in Appalachia, people are very carefully watching that contango and sort of queueing up to come to the market at the right time," Crowley said.
