But a week later, state officials said the child care centers accused of fraud were all operating as expected. https://cnn.it/4jqkIGt

If the attack on Venezuela and the abduction of its president were part of a "law enforcement operation," not a war, how come the U.S. still has a huge armada offshore? When cops nab a suspect, do they often set up a camp with hundreds of officers near the scene of the arrest?

A governor, a six-term Congressman, a National Guard artillery specialist, a school teacher for 20 years—and a geographer. A speech that will introduce you to him, and that contains surprises.
