President Trump on Tuesday picked Federal Housing Finance Agency Director Bill Pulte to lead the U.S. intelligence community, elevating a MAGA loyalist to one of the government's most powerful national security posts. Why it matters: President Trump's decision to install Pulte atop the nation's intelligence network gives the MAGA enforcer wide-ranging access to vast amounts of data the government collects.

UK Special Coverage The New Mandelson Files Continue Labour’s Long Nightmare While the freshly disclosed WhatsApp messages damage Starmer, they do not unambiguously help Burnham. UK Special Coverage (Photo by Gareth Fuller – WPA Pool/Getty Images) The curse of WhatsApp strikes again. The text messaging service habitually used by many UK politicians to chat to their colleagues was always a liability. They often seemed to believe they were talking in a secure space, but of course on social media nothing is really secure. Now a tranche of some 1,500 text messages and emails has been published by the UK government relating to Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s appointment of Lord Mandelson as U.S. ambassador in 2024—and his sacking of him…Open
