Good morning. As President Trump and Democratic leaders continue to butt heads over government funding and the border wall, Trump will travel to the border today. Here’s what we’re watching today.

Ever since Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) defeated longtime Congressman Joe Crowley in the Democratic primary, conservatives have made a myriad of digs at the young, liberal congresswoman.

This time, they really outdid themselves.

President Donald Trump has reportedly decided to remove all 2,000 American troops from Syria, several news outlets reported Wednesday morning, citing unnamed U.S. officials.

Outgoing House Intelligence Committee Chair Devin Nunes (R-CA) on Friday claimed that federal investigators “entrapped” former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn, echoing a pre-sentencing memo from Flynn’s lawyers arguing that he was somehow tricked by the FBI officials who questioned him in January 2017.

Two liberal advocacy groups on Friday announced that they would file a lawsuit challenging Wisconsin Republicans’ slate of laws that restrict the power of the incoming Democratic governor and limit early voting in the state.

This year was an embarrassment of riches when it came to scandals, so we had to make some tough calls when we selected this year’s Golden Dukes Nominees.

Yet our trusty readers submitted a few nominees that we would be remiss to ignore entirely. They remembered scandals that escaped our memories and brought to our attention local stories we had not yet read about.

And so, below are a few runners-up for the nomination from readers that we did not manage to include in our list of nominees:

After Michael Cohen was sentenced to three years in prison, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York announced that prosecutors had previously reached an agreement not to prosecute the National Enquirer’s parent company over its payment to kill Karen McDougal’s story about her alleged affair with President Trump.

Former FBI Director James Comey told reporters on Capitol Hill Friday afternoon that members of two House committees who questioned him behind closed doors largely asked about the Hillary Clinton email probe.

President Donald Trump did not appreciate former Secretary of State Rex Tillerson’s comment that Trump was “undisciplined” and doesn’t like to read.

The President hit back with a tweet calling Tillerson “dumb” and “lazy.”

A former employee of conspiracy theorist Jack Burkman admitted in court on Monday that he tricked Burkman into meeting him at a D.C.-area parking garage and then proceeded to shoot Burkman twice in the buttocks, according to the Washington Post.
