Devin Nunes Met Intelligence Source on White House Grounds

The meeting was likely to intensify questions about what prompted the congressman to say that President Trump or others may have been “incidentally” wiretapped and who gave him the information.

"“He has not been cooperating like someone who is interested in getting to the unvarnished truth,” Mr. Schumer said."

Terminal.

A 7.4 Quake in Southern California? A Long Fault Could Make It Likelier

The Newport-Inglewood/Rose Canyon fault, extending from San Diego to Los Angeles, could rupture along its entire length, scientists have found.

"
Geologists did not know very much about this fault. “It’s fairly difficult to study faults underwater,” said Jillian Maloney, a geology professor at San Diego State University, who was not involved in the study.
In 2013, Dr. Sahakian and her collaborators spent more than 100 days at sea using acoustic waves to image the sedimentary layers of the seafloor. Combining this data with previous seismic surveys, the scientists were able to study the fault system at an unprecedented level of detail."

The fault has not broken in human memory.

Israel May Offer General Commitment to Slow Settlement Building

Such a vague agreement would be less than some hoped for, especially after President Trump raised the rapid spread of settlements as a roadblock to peace.

All Democrats said no.
