Dig a little deeper and you’ll find the Republican Party — including Trump and vice presidential running mate J.D. Vance — is all in on some of the proposal’s more drastic recommendations, especially when it comes to slashing the federal workforce and then reshaping it in the GOP’s own image. ...

WASHINGTON — Democrats are asking who’s the treasonous one now that pictures have surfaced of an upside American flag flying at the home of Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito.
