Nancy Mace is pushing hard for federal involvement after a young woman, Logan Federico, was allegedly killed in her sleep and her identity and cards used in an apparent crime spree. The case reads like a scary pattern: break-ins to steal credit cards followed by brazen shopping runs, and the suspect, Alexander Dickey, reportedly carried a long rap sheet. For Republicans who care about victims and public safety, the obvious question is why federal resources are not full throttle on…

They spoke with “a profound sense of momentous urgency,” praising a leader they say acted with clarity and muscle to change the impossible.

The Metropolitan Police described the crackdown as its “largest ever operation to tackle phone theft in London.” The investigation began when a victim traced a stolen iPhone…
