Gavin Newsom, a Democrat, pulls National Guard troops from the border.•Freshman Democrat Rep. Ilhan Omar of Michigan, after getting serious flack from both parties after tweeting what many consider to be anti-Semitic messages, apologizes.•The National Down Syndrome Society releases a new video celebrating the accomplishments of men and women with down syndrome.The Daily Signal podcast is available on Ricochet, iTunes, SoundCloud, Google Play, or Stitcher.
