“That’s not what we do at the Department of Homeland Security,” Wolf said during a Sunday morning interview with CNN’s State of the Union. “We have expressed authorities given to us by Congress and this is not one of them,” he added. “This is not a mission for the Department of Homeland Security,” he asserted. “We don’t have any authority to do that at the department.” Wolf’s comments came after Trump on Thursday told Fox News host Sean Hannity that law enforcement would be sent to polling stations, raising concerns from critics about the potential specter of voter intimidation....

Since the blacklist situation occurred, Activision France has come out to say there is no blacklist in place, but popular French publications like Gameblog are suggesting otherwise. Gameblog wasn’t completely innocent in the situation, Activision did ask them to take down the story and they refused, but to blacklist a publication for scooping a story of this magnitude is a little drastic. As Gameblog recounted to Kotaku, Activision sent a simple email and followed that up with a phone call, both of which requested that the piece be taken down since no announcement was made regarding this next entry in the wildly popular Call of Duty franchise....
