A federal judge has ordered the Trump administration to restore the government-run Voice of America to full operations, putting hundreds of journalists who have been on administrative leave for a year back to work.

He fell back on that again Tuesday in his State of the Union address. On inflation, immigration, tariffs and matters of war and peace, he presented a frequently distorted account as he claimed a “turnaround for the ages” and myriad achievements that don’t pass scrutiny.
