## Resource

Trump told the Wall Street Journal exactly why he hired Bill Pulte to run American intelligence — fire a lot of people and dig into 2020 election files. No ambiguity. No reading between the lines. We take the President at his word today and examine what that means for the agencies keeping America safe. Maine's primary is Tuesday and the opposition research on Graham Platner is hitting hard. Between Platner and Paxton of Texas we ask whether the Senate is becoming a club where a checkered past is basically a membership requirement. And the Iran expert community is now saying clearly and collectively — there is no deal to be made with this regime. So what exactly is the plan? All of it today.
