DEMS/RACISM/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT: “Democrats have long believed Donald Trump’s brand of scab-picking politics is deplorable, and now they have made it official, with a House of Representatives resolution condemning the president for urging four congresswomen to ‘go back’ to other countries if they insist on being so critical of his leadership of this one.

IRAN/NUCLEAR/OBAMA/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT: “Donald Trump has long trashed the 2015 Iran nuclear agreement as ‘the worst deal ever,’ a ‘disaster’ that didn’t cover nearly enough of the Islamist-led country’s nefarious behavior. In recent weeks, however, the president has indicated that the Barack Obama-era deal might not be so bad after all. Trump has repeatedly urged […]

COURTS/DEMS/HOUSE OF REPS/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT: “House Democrats have kicked and screamed about the White House’s refusal to allow key Trump officials to come before Congress.

ELECTION/GOP/MINORITIES/RACISM/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT: “Sen. John Cornyn prides himself on winning a large share of the Latino vote in Texas, campaigning in the Asian American community and running ads in three languages.
