DHS inks contract to create its own fleet of Boeing 737s for deportations
The agency will spend nearly $140 million to buy the planes, funding that comes from a massive budget increase for immigration enforcement approved by Congress.

Welp! Something is definitely going on with his health. Thanks for confirming, Trump👍🏻
Trump says reporting on his health is "seditious, perhaps even treasonous, for The New York Times, and others, to consistently do FAKE reports in order to libel and demean 'THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.' They are true Enemies of the People, and we should do something about it."

As @crockett.house.gov said to Chris Hayes earlier, it’s all about turning out your voters.
This Georgia flip is in a district that the GOP drew to drown Democratic voters in Athens into a neighboring red county, Oconee.
But tonight, Dems in Athens were out in FULL FORCE to swamp that gerrymander.

JUST IN: Democrats are in comfortable leads in Albuquerque, as the early + mail vote has come in.
Democratic mayor Tim Keller leads his Republican opponent 58/42.
And in a city council race, Stephanie Telles leads 60% to 24%: her victory would flip the city council to the liberal faction.
