Bill Pulte is completely unqualified to lead our intelligence agencies, yet Trump is backing him anyway. That says everything you need to know about how seriously Trump takes our national security.

The Tohono O’odham Nation, a reservation the size of Connecticut in southern Arizona, is fighting to stop construction of a border wall on their land. Losing could be a devastating blow to future claims of Indian sovereignty, Geraldo L. Cadava argues:

When we took office, NYC had a $12B deficit. Today it’s zero. And we didn’t close that gap on the backs of working people. We closed it while funding parks, libraries, safer streets, & public housing. Call it Pothole Politics or Democratic Socialism: We are government that delivers for the people.

Fuller prevailed 56-44 in #GA14, a longtime GOP stronghold that Trump carried 68-31. Everyone agreed Fuller would win, but his 12-point showing is a gigantic 25% underperformance compared to Trump's 37-point margin of victory.

I feel like we typically see these sorts of completely outraged opinions from federal judges a couple times a year across the whole country, maybe a little more often in last few years. Now, in cases stemming from Trump's immigration crackdown, judges are ringing the alarm bell several times a week.

Seeing that photo of Obama putting the Medal of Freedom on Tom Homan circulate again. It's fake. Homan did get a civil service award during the Obama administration, but it wasn't the Medal of Freedom, it wasn't a medal (it was a certificate), and Obama didn't present it to him in person.
