Tuesday was an important evening for Democrats. Here are the people who contributed to its success.
President John F. Kennedy once remarked, “Victory has a thousand fathers, but defeat has orphans.” On Tuesday, the Democrats experienced a significant win, buoyed by the recent passing of Proposition 50 in California, a statewide election in Virginia, a gubernatorial race in New Jersey, and a mayoral contest in New York.

DHS mistakenly informed the watchdog group that it had no text messages from Noem
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) mistakenly informed a watchdog group that it would stop storing text messages as legally required, attributing the error to a “misunderstanding.” This confusion surfaced after the department phased out a system designed to automatically save these messages.
