Day 167: ICBMs

Still behind on last week, alas. Catching up is slow! A slow day today, except for escalating tensions with North Korea.

• Things are sharply heating up with North Korea, following their test of an ICBM. I'm worried, and I don't trust our administration at all. The situation calls for a strong and measured response from the State Department, which has been completely gutted. I would not want to be in South Korea any time soon.
• Trump is at the G20 meeting, where he'll be meeting personally with Putin. He's widely expected to be completely played, but still he refuses to do his homework.
• And the count of states refusing to comply with the administration's request for voter data is up to 44. Go jump in the Gulf of Mexico. Oh, and it looks like the request violated the law anyway...
• The Pro-Choice crowd have completely converted to Trump. I'm utterly, utterly disgusted by just about everything in this article.
• The Indiana GOP asked for Obamacare horror stories. Guess what they got?
• This is one of the best analyses I've read of DeVos's horrific legacy in Detroit, and what she's aiming to do nationwide. Highly recommended reading.
