While local governments don’t get nearly as much coverage as national or even statewide scandals, wild things are happening in these municipalities.
This is the MAGA litmus test. If they don’t answer this question right, Trump won’t pick them for any cabinet positions. They’re all angling for power in a Trump White House.
“My right, my wife's, my children's, to roam the roads of Judea and Samaria are more important than the right of movement of the Arabs," said Mr Ben Gvir, using a biblical term for the West Bank.
He then addressed Mohammad Magadli, an Arab Israeli journalist in the studio, saying: "Sorry Mohammad, but this is the reality, that's the truth. My right for life comes before their right to movement."
BBC. He has a number of repugnant views. There won’t be peace until BB’s cabinet is out of power.

According to copies of the phone message pads, seen by the Guardian, the magician appears to have left messages for Epstein 16 times in just a few months. The notations on the pads include brief messages such as “it’s important” and “just called to say hello”. One says “it’s jackpot” without further explanation.

Oh that’s certainly true. Why does the “migrant caravan” arrive every four years, and mysteriously disappear from rage bait news after the election?
When you can’t win actual arguments, you make up things the other side doesn’t believe in, and then you simply debate your own straw-men. This has been the leading Republican debate strategy for the last decade(s).
His tight-lipped answer didn’t seem to satisfy Brennan, who wondered if McConnell meant he could still serve “at a time when we are talking about incredible dysfunction in Washington?”
“I think we ought to be talking about what we were talking about earlier, rather than my health,” McConnell shot back.
Fox News Sunday’s Shannon Bream also interviewed McConnell. She said in her introduction to her interview that she also asked about his health and he said “he’s doing great, and has a clean bill of health.” She did not air her questioning on the subject or McConnell’s response.

At some point after 27 September, the CIA had added to its X profile page a link - https://t.me/securelycontactingcia - to its Telegram channel containing information about contacting the organisation on the dark net and through other secretive means.
The channel said, in Russian: "Our global mission demands that individuals be able to reach out to CIA securely from anywhere," while warning potential recruits to "be wary of any channels that claim to represent the CIA".
But a flaw in how X displays some links meant the full web address had been truncated to https://t.me/securelycont - an unused Telegram username.
As soon as Mr McSheehan noticed the issue, he registered the username so anyone clicking on the link was directed to his own channel, which warned them not to share any secret or sensitive information.
