- The Needle: Trump Threatens States That Won’t Suppress Votes, Ducks Are Dying Near the Reflecting Pool, Judge Scolds Trump for Violating Privacy Rights, Judge Accuses DHS of Retaliating, and Less Than Half of U.S. Can Afford Good Health Care
President Donald Trump is using Department of Homeland Security funding to pressure states to implement voter suppression measures, including phasing out electronic voting and using a citizenship verification database.
