An attorney for U.S. Rep. Adam Kinzinger is asking TV stations to stop running negative advertisements against the congressman. The ads by the Club for Growth, a Washington-based conservative group, contend that Kinzinger, R-Channahon, is standing in the way of President Donald Trump's efforts to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act, commonly known as Obamacare.
US President Donald Trump's administration declined to name any major trading partner as a currency manipulator in a highly-anticipated report on Friday, confirming a decision to back away from a key Trump campaign promise to slap such a label on China. The semi-annual US Treasury currency report did, however, keep China on a currency "monitoring list" despite a lower global current account surplus, citing China's unusually large, bilateral trade surplus with the United States.
President Donald Trump is "very upset" that Amanda Knox, the American college student who sparked an international firestorm after being accused of murder in Italy, supported Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton, according to a Friday report in The New York Times. In a 2010 interview with KOMO-TV, Trump offered financial support for Knox's family in the case.
The Trump administration declined Friday to label China a currency manipulator despite President Donald Trump's insistent pledge during the election campaign that he would do so as soon as he took office. Instead, the administration's first twice-yearly currency review singled out China and five other countries as needing to be monitored for their currency practices.
The president's recent shifts in position on big foreign policy issues have got his supporters pondering: Are the reversals worth a mere shrug of the shoulders, or are they a cause for greater concern. Where critics see a flip-flopper, many Trump voters see the kind of recalibrating that's to be expected from any new president, even more so for the first in history to land in the Oval Office without any government or military experience.
In this April 1, 2017 file photo, Republican GOP congressional candidate in the 4th district Ron Estes votes with his wife Susan Estes at Holy Cross Lutheran Church in Wichita, Kan. Republicans escaped a special House election in Kansas with a single-digit victory in a district where they have romped in the past, an early warning sign for the GOP at the start of Donald Trump's presidency.
Face-to-face with victims of South Sudan's famine and civil war, the Republican chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee strongly defended U.S. foreign aid on Friday despite President Donald Trump's proposed deep cuts in humanitarian assistance. Senator Bob Corker of Tennessee visited the world's fastest-growing refugee crisis in northern Uganda, just across the border from South Sudan, in a pointed response to Trump's "America First" platform that would slash funds for diplomacy and foreign aid.
To understand just how fractious and ungainly the Trump coalition truly is, look no further than his administration. You'll find establishment Republicans , former Tea Party insurgents , Wall Street players and, for the time being, clash-of-civilization ethno-nationalists , not a few of whom seem to be working at cross purposes.
A craft brewery slated to open shop in Toronto this summer plans to pay tribute to President Trump with its first beer: "Fake News Ale." Northern Maverick said Monday that "Fake News Ale" will be available at its Toronto brewery when it opens to the public in the coming weeks in addition to being soon available to beer drinkers across Ontario.
Syrian President Bashar al-Assad claimed Thursday that the alleged chemical weapons attack in Khan Sheikhoun was a "fabrication" to justify the U.S. missile strike. The United States told Russian Federation at the United Nations on Wednesday that is it isolating itself by continuing to support Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, while Britain said its scientists found sarin was used in a deadly toxic gas attack on Syrian civilians last week.
I wrote about it for Salon this morning: The story of the regretful Donald Trump voter has already become a clichA . It started even before the inauguration, with reporters venturing out into the wilds of Real America to talk to the most fascinating people on earth and find out how they're feeling on any given day.

Several senior ranking House Democrats threw their weight behind a proposal on Thursday to prohibit inmates from being used to build President Donald Trump's border wall as part of their efforts to provide a check on the White House's impact in Massachusetts. The working group created by House Speaker Robert DeLeo to guide the House's response to the Trump administration also voted to recommend a bill that would essentially block state law enforcement from participating in a federal program to train local officers as immigration enforcement agents.
Luckily for Americans of relative intelligence, Press Secretary Sean Spicer's major faux pas was met almost immediately with a swarm of uproar, outrage and demands for retraction, answered by a recantation and apology. Ironically, the latest Spicer scandal also came during the same week as French presidential candidate Marine Le Pen's controversial denial of the French government's complicity and cooperation in rounding up Jewish citizens during World War II - an unfortunate and studied reality of the Vichy regime.
The seeds of Breitbart's resentment were sown months before President Donald Trump cut down chief strategist Stephen Bannon this week. Now the question is whether the hard-right news site that cheered Trump to victory - and sent Bannon, its former chairman, to the White House - will turn on the president.
President Donald Trump's tweets are adding fuel to a "vicious cycle" of tensions on the Korean Peninsula, North Korea's vice foreign minister told The Associated Press in an exclusive interview Friday. The official added that if the U.S. shows any sign of "reckless" military aggression, Pyongyang is ready to launch a pre-emptive strike of its own.
With the "repeal and replace" effort at an impasse on Capitol Hill, the administration released on Thursday a set of fixes to stabilize the Affordable Care Act's shaky insurance markets for next year. But the insurance industry quickly said the changes don't go far enough.
I wrote last week that President Donald Trump might be on a roll - and maybe he is. But politics is never static: Things change and often they change quickly.
