Crackling crust, pillowy middle. The kind of bagel that earns a second cup of coffee.
Summary
The Department of Justice has reportedly not established its usual election monitoring 'command center' at FBI headquarters for the 2026 midterms, despite President Trump's ongoing warnings about election fraud. The center, typically a 24-hour operation staffed by public corruption prosecutors, has been used in past elections to handle irregularities and potential crimes. Insiders also report canceled training sessions for prosecutors and field agents, raising concerns about preparedness ahead of November's elections.
