Call Home: The NY Times and Pro Publica report based upon documents provided by NSA leaker Edward Snowden that AT&T cooperated for many years with the NSA to help the agency spy on Internet traffic.

Make America Great: Speaking at the Iowa State Fair yesterday Donald Trump told reporters that voters don’t care much about his position on issues and what he plans to do if he’s elected president. He hasn’t issued many positions. “The press is more eager to see it than the voters,” he said. “The voters like me, they understand me, they know I’m going to do the job.”

Trump said you can lay out a 14-point plan for something and it goes away the moment you enter negotiations. And he said dealing with New York City zoning issues may be tougher than anything he would be called upon to do as president.

Trump arrived at the fair in his helicopter painted prominently with the name “Trump,” and offered rides to children. It’s the new way to kiss babies.
