NSA spent a lot of taxpayer money developing hacking tools for espionage. Then it lost the tools. They've already done billions in damage around the world, and now they're being used to attack American cities. With @nicoleperlroth https://t.co/IrtWipsfUG

Per graph (not surprising): Those Democrats are far safer than their colleagues-- won by larger margins in 2018 on average and hail from safe D districts (Cook PVI). pic.twitter.com/qZXSRcg36p

In an Odd Move, Trump Shifts His Banking Business to a Small Firm in Florida

With his relationship with Deutsche Bank under scrutiny, the president turns to a little-known bank.

Buried lede in here: The US president last year borrowed $11.2M to buy a manse from his sister... who was a sitting federal appeals court judge... and the Florida lender’s CEO just got a seat on the Atlanta Fed in January https://t.co/vXJVzS6KIE pic.twitter.com/GviHRPcI9L
