Welcome to Day 1393.

Today in one sentence: A New York judge postponed his decision on whether to dismiss Trump’s 34 felony convictions of orchestrating an illegal conspiracy to influence the 2016 presidential election by falsifying business records; the Supreme Court denied Mark Meadows’ request to move his Georgia election interference case to federal court; Trump appointed Mike Waltz as national security adviser, Mike Huckabee as ambassador to Israel, Lee Zeldin to lead the EPA, Kristi Noem as secretary of Homeland Security, Marco Rubio as secretary of state, and Steve Witkoff as special envoy to the Middle East; Trump’s team is weighing a draft executive order to create a “warrior board” of retired officers to review and remove three- and four-star generals based on “leadership capability”; Democrat Ruben Gallego defeated Republican Kari Lake in Arizona’s U.S. Senate race; and Justice Samuel Alito intends to remain on the Supreme Court, dismissing speculation that he might step down to allow Trump to appoint a younger conservative successor.
