In Trump’s Wartime Reality Show, Truth Is a Casualty

/

Donald Trump often does not tell the truth. The intelligence community produces classified reports that are unavailable for outside evaluation.

As Political Violence Surges, Trump Shuts Down a Top Prevention Program

/

Since March, the Trump administration has dismantled a leading office at the Department of Homeland Security whose mission was averting terrorism and targeted violence.
