US President Donald Trump is perhaps the world's most famous Twitter user, but the most popular post of 2017 was from Barack Obama. Three tweets by former president Barack Obama made it into Twitter's Top 10 list of retweeted messages for this year.
Paul Gosar's brother called him "an embarrassment" to the family on Friday, following up on a published letter by seven siblings blasting the Arizona Congressman for his conspiracy theories. His siblings had their blistering letter published in the Kingman Daily Miner on October 24, criticizing the Prescott congressman for his debunked theories about August's white supremacist rally in Charlottesville, Virginia.
Two essays this week, by two very different authors, take us deep into the tribalism that marks our politics. Both should serve as a wake-up call for what we risk losing as a culture - as a nation - if we fail to reconcile our differences and heal long-festering national wounds.
President Trump on Thursday signed a resolution condemning white supremacists and hate groups, hours after reviving his assertion that there were "bad dudes" among the people who assembled to oppose a white nationalist protest in Charlottesville, Virginia, last month. "You know, you have some pretty bad dudes on the other side also," the president told reporters aboard Air Force One, sparking another round of criticism that the president has failed to adequately condemn hate speech.

President Donald Trump on Thursday revived his assertions that he thought there were "bad dudes" among the people who assembled to oppose a white nationalist protest in Charlottesville, Virginia, last month. Trump latest comments came one day after he met in private with Sen. Tim Scott of South Carolina, the Senate's lone black Republican, at the White House.
Both Democratic and Republican leaders roundly denounced President Donald Trump's statement last month putting "blame on both sides" about the violence at the "Unite the Right" rally in Charlottesville, Virginia. However, while I personally find reprehensible various forms of white nationalism, racism, and neo-Nazism, Trump's statements that both sides deserve a degree of blame have some validity.
Looming ahead are critical government funding deadlines and the last, best chance at championing a legislative win -- tax reform -- ahead of the 2018 midterm election. But Trump is clashing with Republican leaders, his approval ratings are in the 30s in most polls and more than half of voters are convinced he is bent on tearing the country apart, according to one recent Fox News survey.
The Republican National Committee passed a resolution Friday "condemning the violence and racist beliefs" of white supremacists who took to the streets in Charlottesville, Virginia, earlier this month -- a move that contrasts sharply with President Donald Trump's widely panned response to the deadly violence. The resolution called out the "abhorrent white supremacist demonstration in Charlottesville, Virginia, on August 12, 2017, that led to loss of life and numerous injuries."
The Republican National Committee on Friday approved a resolution condemning racism and white supremacy at its summer meeting in Nashville - but don't call it a rebuke of President Donald Trump. "This has nothing to do with the president," said the resolution's sponsor, Bill Palatucci, an RNC committeeman from New Jersey.
The Republican National Committee walked the tightrope Friday in carefully but resolutely denouncing white supremacist groups without criticizing President Donald Trump, who waffled in his own statements in the wake of the deadly clash in Virginia this month. Meeting in Nashville, Tennessee, the RNC approved a raft of resolutions, including one asserting "Nazis, the KKK, white supremacists and others are repulsive, evil and have no fruitful place in the United States."
The science envoy for the U.S. State Department Dan Kammen has resigned in protest of President Trump's refusal to quickly condemn the deadly white supremacist violence in Charlottesville, Virginia, earlier this month. In his resignation letter, Kammen, referring to Trump, wrote, "Your presence in the White House harms the United States domestically and abroad and threatens life on this planet."

'Particularly troubling to me is how your response to Charlottesville is consistent with a broader pattern of behavior that enables sexism and racism, and disregards the welfare of all Americans,' Daniel Kammen wrote as he quit the post President Donald Trump walks from Marine One across the South Lawn of the White House in Washington, Wednesday, Aug. 23, 2017, as he returns from Reno, Nev.
