Good morning from Washington, where the Left likes to make much of the rise of so-called hate groups. But one shady organization goes too far in purposefully overcounting such groups, our Tyler O’Neil writes. Donald Trump, who entered pleas of not guilty yesterday to 37 federal charges related to possession of classified documents, spoke out defiantly last night. Fred Lucas covers the former president’s remarks. On the podcast, learn about a U.K. celebration of answered prayers. Plus: what work requirements really mean; the status of Biden’s own docs case; the Supremes’ bad redistricting ruling; and one senator is ready to punish the Justice Department. Six years ago,  a gunman opens fire on GOP lawmakers as they practice at a baseball field in Alexandria, Virginia, wounding House Republican Whip Steve Scalise of Louisiana and four others.
