President Donald Trump's holiday weekend featured a raucous campaign rally, a health care strategy session, interviews for a new national security adviser - and even a few holes of golf. Trump brought four contenders to his private club Mar-a-Lago club in Florida on Sunday as he seeks a replacement for retired Gen.
The Homeland Security Department has drafted sweeping new guidelines aimed at aggressively detaining and deporting immigrants living in the U.S. illegally, according to a pair of memoranda signed by DHS Secretary John Kelly. The memos dated Friday seek to implement President Donald Trump's broad directive to crack down on illegal immigration.
Those of us who consider it disgraceful to have a giant statue of Robert E. Lee on his horse in a park in the middle of Charlottesville, and another of Stonewall Jackson for that matter, should try to understand those who think removing one of these statues is an outrage. I don't claim to understand them, and certainly don't suggest they all think alike.
I have an interview in the Denver-based publication Denverite, presumably in no way connected to our Bronco fan commenter, about this idea of general strikes. Again, I'm skeptical.
Okay, my sense is that a large number of commentators are misunderstanding the nature of what is going on. So, this time, rather than writing an analysis, I will spell it out, 'talking points' - style and, hopefully, do a better job about making my point.
The acting attorney general informed the Trump White House late last month that she believed Michael Flynn had misled senior administration officials about the nature of his communications with the Russian ambassador to the United States, and warned that the national security adviser was potentially vulnerable to Russian blackmail, current and former U.S. officials said.
Republican congressman Jason Chaffetz is now claiming that the crowd of participants who confronted him at a town hall in his Utah district on Thursday night included a large contingent of paid agitators from out of state.
Forget those " bad hombres down there" in Mexico that U.S. troops might take out. Ignore the way National Security Adviser Michael Flynn put Iran " on notice " and the new president insisted , that, when it comes to that country, "nothing is off the table."
Maria Svart of DSA speaks to teleSUR about how her organization is using Sanders' vision to fight Trump and neoliberalism within the Democratic party. While the U.S. has lost its chance at having arguably its first ever progressive president, Bernie Sanders, one group wants to capitalize on his political revolution and even nourish and support more people like him to infiltrate the Democratic party and fix the Democratic party.
A US government designation of the Muslim Brotherhood as a foreign terrorist organization, which the Trump administration is reportedly considering, would threaten the rights to association of Muslim groups in the United States. Such a designation would also undermine the ability of the Muslim Brotherhood's members and supporters to participate in democratic politics abroad.

David Corn: [President] Trump's national security adviser [Michael Flynn] was in cahoots with Russia to undermine the US government's effort to punish Moscow for hacking the US election -- and he apparently lied about it. If Trump does not fire him -- and if Washington's political-media complex does not go ballistic over this revelation -- then the Putinization of America has taken another big step forward.

After appearing on four Sunday news shows, Stephen Miller, a top adviser to President Donald Trump, was ruthlessly mocked on Twitter. Broadcasting from the White House briefing room, Miller repeated the same talking points in interviews with CBS, NBC, ABC and Fox.
Trump's Senior White House Advisor, Stephen Miller, proves to be as capable and unabashed as Dear Leader at providing blatant lies to an incredulous press. Stephanopoulos, by my reckoning, asked for evidence to back Miller's claims no less than eight times in less than four minutes.

Funny, the right wing, aided and abetted by Fox, loves to describe anti-Trump liberals as delicate "snowflakes" who should just suck it up. But when conservatives feel that they are being treated unfairly, they don't suck it up.
