Republican rivals blasted Sen. Elizabeth Warren's recent support of single-payer health care, saying her backing of Sen. Bernie Sanders' high-profile bill - expected to be introduced in Congress this week - is proof she's eyeing a 2020 presidential run. "Warren's endorsement shows she's more focused on the White House than Massachusetts," said state Rep. Geoff Diehl, a Whitman Republican running to oust the senior senator.
President Trump may have cut last week's short-term debt limit and funding deal with Democrats in an effort to score a bipartisan win and move on to issues such as immigration reform that lay ahead. "I think that's what the people of the United States want to see: They want to see some dialogue," Trump told reporters last week.
This image made from video of a news bulletin aired by North Korea's KRT on Monday, May 15, 2017, shows what was said to be the launch of the Hwasong-12 missile at an undisclosed location in North Korea. Threatening to fire a volley of missiles toward a major U.S. military hub _ and the home to 160,000 American civilians _ may seem like a pretty bad move for a country that is seriously outgunned and has an awful lot to lose.
President Donald Trump basically did what he had to do last week in announcing he was ending the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals rule that was put in place by his predecessor. President Barack Obama had put the rule in place, contrary to current immigration law, to prevent the deportation of people who had entered the country illegally as children, brought by their parents.

These three branches are the executive , the legislative and the judicial Most Americans know - or should know from a middle school government class - that the reason America has three branches of government is to create a separation of powers. This way, the power of government does not rest with one individual - such as a dictator or self-appointed monarch.

The next six months are going to tell us a lot about what kind of country this is, and whether the United States Congress is still capable of fulfilling its constitutional duties. That's because Congress now has a deadline, and unlike past deadlines, it's not one that can just be postponed through a continuing resolution or legislative trick.
