A Massachusetts state senator who opposes President Donald Trump's immigration policies was mistakenly booked on Fox News, and she used the airtime to criticize Trump's "illegal and inhumane" treatment of migrant families crossing the U.S.-Mexico border. Barbara L'Italien, a Democrat, appeared Monday on "Fox & Friends First," instead of the intended guest, Democratic congressional candidate Ann Kirkpatrick, who has openly supported U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement .
Calls to abolish Immigration and Customs Enforcement began as whispers, but today are a lion's-roar demand, at least among illegal immigration advocates and their congressional allies. Early on, the loudest end-ICE voices were the usual suspects, with California Sens. Dianne Feinstein and Kamala Harris leading the pack.
President Donald Trump is "exploring the mechanisms" for revoking the security clearances of half a dozen former Obama administration officials and critics of his presidency.
The Senate easily confirmed Robert Wilkie on Monday as the 10th secretary of Veterans Affairs, elevating the top Pentagon official and Washington insider to lead an agency that serves a key constituency for President Donald Trump but has floundered amid political infighting. The 86-to-9 bipartisan vote, with Democrats casting nearly all of the no votes, was without the drama of other Cabinet confirmations in the Trump administration.
California's top-two primary carried the risk of producing only candidates of one party on the November ballot. This actually happened in a number of legislative and congressional districts, but they were not any of the contested ones.
A former Democratic candidate for the 2nd Congressional District now running as an independent lied about donating more than $700,000 to her campaign, according to federal prosecutors. Shaun Brown of Virginia Beach, one of three people on the ballot Nov. 6, is set to stand trial this week in U.S. District Court in Norfolk on charges she stole at least $439,000 from a program established to feed needy children.
Several Obama administration alumni have attacked President Donald Trump in the past few days, following his summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Helsinki last Monday. Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, who led the Russian "reset" under President Barack Obama, told an audience in New York at the OZY Fest Saturday: "[I]t doesn't seem like our president cares.
The release of new documents relating to the genesis of the Russia probe - and President Donald Trump's response to those documents Monday morning - throw the asymmetry between the parties that is the driving fact of our politics right now into perhaps its starkest relief yet. Broadly speaking, many Republicans have tacitly enabled or actively aided in efforts to pervert the basic functions of government in service of preventing the full truth about Russian sabotage of U.S. democracy from becoming publicly known, all to shield Trump from accountability.

The first trial in special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation is set to begin this week when former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort heads to court in Alexandria, Virginia. Although Manafort is the first to face trial, the recent indictment of 12 Russian military intelligence officers could be a sign that Mueller's investigation is heating up.
Capping a week of drama, back-tracking and blistering statements from allies about his attitude toward Russian election interference, President Donald Trump on Monday returned to familiar rhetoric, referring to the special counsel's Russia probe as a "hoax" and "Witch Hunt." Trump spent last week trying to reassure the country that he accepts that the longtime foe interfered in the 2016 election, despite his public undermining of U.S. intelligence agencies in Helsinki while standing alongside Russian President Vladimir Putin.
After months of tumult, Pentagon official Robert Wilkie is expected to become secretary of Veterans Affairs when the Senate votes Monday to confirm him, taking on the task of fulfilling President Donald Trump's promises to fire bad VA employees and steer more patients to the private sector. The long-time public official says he will "shake up complacency" at VA, which has struggled with long waits in providing medical treatment to millions of veterans.

At times it was rather contentious and disruptive by some of the members of Congress. I tried to keep an open mind, however I became angry when the hearing was turned over to U.S. Rep. Steve Cohen, D-Tennessee.

With the current political climate, I expected the divisive rhetoric of this election season. I did not expect the battle lines to be drawn so explicitly between the talkers and the doers.
