First there was Kirk’s widow, Erika, who stood in white before the crowd filling the Arizona stadium, lifted her tear-filled eyes and said that she forgave her husband’s killer. And then there was President Trump. “He was a missionary with a noble spirit...

Miffed that Minnesota has been garnering the lion's share of recent news on welfare fraud, Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-Calif) pointed out that "my state has been cited for $76 billion in welfare fraud in the past year alone. We are far ahead of anything Gov. Walz has achieved in his state.

Walz countered, saying "I've received almost 100 letters from panicked mayors urging me to...
