The calorie-labeling rules were a controversial provision of former president Barack Obama's signature 2010 health care law AFP/File / BRENDAN SMIALOWSKI Former Republican Max Boot spent eight years trying to stop Obama as an aide to both John McCain and Mitt Romney, and as a longtime conservative columnist.

In this May 15, 2018, file photo, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., pauses as he speaks to reporters at the Capitol in Washington. In a surprise move, McConnell has withdrawn one of President Donald Trump's judicial nominees just minutes before he was set for a confirmation vote.
His unfounded assertions come days after a summit with Putin in Helsinki, after which Trump was widely condemned for seeming to side with Putin over U.S. intelligence officials WASHINGTON President Donald Trump lashed out anew at the news media on Thursday, suggesting that reporters are slanting their coverage of his relationship with Russian President Vladimir Putin with the aim of provoking a possible war. "The Fake News Media wants so badly to see a major confrontation with Russia, even a confrontation that could lead to war," the president wrote amid a series of morning tweets.
As with a rotting fish, the stench from President Donald Trump's execrable performance in Helsinki only grows more putrid with the passage of time. The leader of the sole superpower was simpering and submissive in the face of a murderous dictator's "strong and powerful" lies.
Montenegro contributes to peace and security in Europe, the government of the new NATO member said on Thursday in response to a suggestion by U.S. President Donald Trump that the small republic was not worth defending against attack.

In an interview that aired Tuesday evening with Fox News host Tucker Carlson, Trump appeared to suggest that the NATO mutual defense compact is confusing, particularly the question of why an American would have to defend a small country like Montenegro, which is more than 5,000 miles away. Trump has long raised questions about the future of the United States' commitment to NATO, a defense treaty which was established to stave off aggression from what was then the Soviet Union.
Sen. Rand Paul certainly has his differences with President Donald Trump, a one-time rival for the White House. But on one cornerstone issue, a resistance to U.S. intervention abroad, they are simpatico.

Taylor Swift has been praised as a "class act" after helping TV co-host Meghan McCain arrange a concert meet-and-greet for a young woman battling cancer. Meghan, the daughter of ailing U.S. Senator John McCain, reached out to the pop superstar via Twitter earlier this month and highlighted a social media campaign launched for Lexi Caviston, who has been diagnosed with the same kind of brain cancer the 33-year-old's politician dad is battling, to help the 21-year-old meet her pop idol during the Philadelphia, Pennsylvania stop on her Reputation World Tour on Saturday.
Democrats are so desperate to torpedo Brett Kavanaugh's appointment to the U.S. Supreme Court that they're resorting to scare tactics, telling Americans that his confirmation would put 130 million people at risk of losing their health insurance. Senate minority leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., says Democrats can sink Kavanaugh by showing how his appointment will lead to a court majority that "repeals ACA with its protections for pre-existing conditions."
America's child president had a playdate with a KGB alumnus, who surely enjoyed providing daycare. It was a useful, because illuminating, event: Now we shall see how many Republicans retain a capacity for embarrassment.
Sir Andrew Wood, 78, believes Trump's cordial approach to diplomacy with Vladimir Putin at their summit in Helsinki may arouse suspicion about his motives and connections to the Kremlin. The diplomat played a role in the US intelligence agency investigation into the "Trump dossier", a sensational report containing salacious claims about the US president compiled by former M16 agent Christopher Steele.
President Donald Trump ignited a firestorm on Capitol Hill following his first summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin on Monday. While that's not rare, this time the political salvos came from both sides of the aisle after Trump stopped far short of condemning Russia's meddling in the 2016 US presidential election and appeared to take Putin's denial at face value.
US president Donald Trump openly questioned his own intelligence agencies' finding that Russia meddled in the 2016 US election, seeming to accept Vladimir Putin's insistence that Moscow's hands were clean. "Shameful," "disgraceful," and "weak" were a few of the comments, while senator Bob Corker said it makes the US "look like a pushover".
European lawmakers say President Donald Trump's stunning news conference on Monday with Russian President Vladimir Putin sent a message to other countries with democratic political systems similarly targeted for interference by Moscow that they cannot count on the U.S. to stand with them. "To deny evidence [of Russia's meddling in the U.S.] is effectively to say to other countries who are victims [of] this... 'You're on your own,'" Damian Collins, a Conservative Party MP in the United Kingdom, said at an election security event hosted by the Atlantic Council in Washington.
Standing next to Russia's Vladimir Putin, President Donald Trump openly questioned his own intelligence agencies' conclusions that Moscow was to blame for meddling in the 2016 U.S. election to Trump's benefit and seemed to accept Putin's insistence that Russia's hands were clean. Trump's comments, at a joint news conference Monday after summit talks with Putin, drew heavy criticism back in the U.S., including from prominent Republicans.
Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., characterized his colleague Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., as being wrong for four decades after the latter made critical remarks about Monday's U.S.-Russia summit in Helsinki. Paul appeared on Fox News and said McCain's comments - the ailing senator called the meeting between President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin a "tragic mistake" - were misguided.
Incredulity about Trump's performance at a Monday news conference with Russian President Vladimir Putin filled hours of cable news coverage. Sen. John McCain called Trump's performance "disgraceful," and Sen. Bob Corker said it was not a good moment for the country.
