20 miles of border fencing

President Trump’s border wall construction has hit a roadblock — again. The Defense Department will not move forward with three border wall projects in California and Arizona, citing “insufficient contract savings.”

The move comes after Trump faced backlash for tapping into Pentagon funds to build part of the wall. A Monday court filing, however, reveals that there were not enough funds to cover the costs of these three projects. As of late August, about 60 miles of wall along the southern border had been updated. [CNN]

8 years of tax returns

The battle over President Trump’s tax returns is shaping up to be a never-ending saga. This week, state prosecutors in Manhattan subpoenaed eight years of his personal and corporate tax returns. The subpoena was issued shortly after the Manhattan district attorney’s office opened a criminal investigation into hush-money payments made leading up to the 2016 election.

This subpoena is one of several attempts to obtain copies of the president’s tax returns, which the president said he would make public on the campaign trail. He has yet to do so. [The New York Times]

Gee, see a pattern? It screams lying sack of shit!
