We know more about the leaked pentagon papers. They appear to have come from a Discord user using the handle "OG". He was one of the 1.25 million people given access to top secret documents. North Dakota Gov. Dog Burgum on Tuesday signed two laws prohibiting transgender girls and women from joining female sports teams in K-12 and college.
