Times Analysis Finds Errors in Trump’s Supreme Court Filing That Calls for National Guard in Chicago
The Trump administration has claimed the police were slow to protect federal agents on Oct. 4, but videos and audio show that their rationale conflates hours of events involving a shooting, a protest, a car crash and a police radio call.

As a state senator, Tom Tiffany introduced the “abortion reversal” bill — a claim medical experts say is false and unsafe.
Now the GOP legislature is using that same blueprint to push a bill based on more false claims.
This is Tiffany’s playbook and exactly the agenda he would sign as governor.
