Donald Trump's approval ratings continue to plummet, and while he insists those poor numbers are all the work of 'fake news,' it's clear that a lot of people do not approve of his administration.
" Once soft on Russia and hard on China, President Donald Trump rapidly reversed course in the last weeks, concluding there's more business to be done with Beijing than with Moscow. Trump's evolving views on those two world powers have brought the U.S. back into alignment with former President Barack Obama's pattern of "great power" politics.
" In the auditorium of his old middle school just blocks from where he still lives, the congressman who is a lead author of the stalled House Republican health care bill was treated like the villain in a class play. It didn't matter that Rep. Greg Walden was on a first-name basis with many of the roughly 800 attendees.

Greg Walden, R-Ore., held last week in Hood River and Prineville, Oregon: "I think North Korea is probably the most dangerous place on the planet right now, because you have a leader that's very unpredictable," Walden said. That prompted sustained, derisive laughter from an audience that clearly associated those adjectives with President Donald Trump.

Hoping for a tidal wave of anti-Trump votes in 2018, Democrats say they are working hard to line up strong candidates to run for Congress. In a special election in Kansas last week, the Democratic candidate captured 46 percent of the vote in a district President Donald Trump carried by 27 points.
A surprise strong showing for the Democratic candidate may signify a slight shift in a traditionally Republican state. Republicans are defending four GOP-leaning seats - the Kansas seat plus Georgia, Montana and SC - while Democrats are protecting a seat in a liberal California district.
An Egyptian court on Sunday cleared Aya Hijazi, a dual U.S.-Egyptian citizen who has been held in detention for nearly three years, of charges over accusations related to a nongovernmental organization she founded to aid street children. A courtroom in Cairo broke into cheers after the judge dropped all charges against Hijazi, her Egyptian husband and the six other defendants in what human-rights groups called a weak case driven by defective evidence.

President Donald Trump's border wall proposal leaves some Americans on the "Mexican side" -- technically on U.S. soil, but outside a barrier built north of the river separating the two countries. Landowners in the Rio Grande Valley, the sunny expanse of bilingual towns and farmland that form the southernmost point of the U.S.-Mexico border, already live on the other side of a border fence erected several years ago.
Former Sierra Club executive director David Brower and others protest a proposed dam at the Grand Canyon in the mid-1960s. THE STORY OF THE SIERRA CLUB, taken in all at once, is astounding.
Since the 2016 election, we've heard everything from now on will be a referendum on Trump . But here in Georgia, the special election for Rep. Tom Price's seat is a referendum on a man nobody talked about in 2016: Jon Ossoff.
A bill pending in the California Senate would guarantee healthcare for all under what's known as a single-payer model - people pay into a fund, and a state agency handles coverage from there. The idea will be the subject of two town hall meetings at the Sonora Opera Hall on Thursday, one at 12:30 p.m., the other at 6:30 p.m. "We really think that with the federal attacks on healthcare, California has an opportunity to lead and has another path," said Pilar Schiavo, one of the presenters and a Sonora-area native who is coordinating the campaign on behalf of the California Nurses Association.
There are still 110 active fires covering 20,285 acres, according to the Florida Forestry Service.

The last time U.S. officials built a barrier along the border with Mexico, they left an opening at the small road leading south to Pamela Taylor's home on the banks of the Rio Grande. Taylor hadn't been told where the fence would be built, and she doesn't know now whether officials are coming back to complete it.
Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly Sunday defended plans to hire thousands of additional immigration and border-control agents, saying the Trump administration's lower bar on criminal behavior by undocumented immigrants merits a larger force. Kelly, on NBC's Meet the Press , dismissed the idea that he's creating a "deportation force," and noted that U.S. law says people here illegally should leave or be deported.
In this Jan. 3, 2017, file photo, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, right, and Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders appear onstage together during an event at New York's LaGuardia Community College. It's the hope of proponents such as Sanders and Hillary Clinton, who made debt-free college a key talking point in their Democratic presidential campaigns, that New York's first-in-the-nation free tuition program for middle-class students will spread to other states.
