Samantha Aschieris, Fred Lucas, and Virginia Allen have details. Meanwhile, House GOP lawmakers move to restore confidence in elections and security to the southern border, Lucas and Allen report, respectively. On the podcast, former top DHS official Ken Cuccinelli tells our Tyler O’Neil what Project 2025 will mean for the next conservative president. Plus: objectionable trans texts in both second grade and college; a climate-related attack on a classic sculpture; and Anglicans’ big brawl. On this date in 1970, President  Richard Nixon authorizes U.S. troops to join South Vietnamese units in attacking communist troop sanctuaries in Cambodia.
