Summary

All this culminated over the weekend in a lurid, intra-Democratic social-media slugfest over who the real racists were, until the president graciously provided House Democrats with an answer they all could accept.Specifically, Trump asserted that the progressive Democratic congresswomen who’d been giving Pelosi such a hard time “originally came from countries whose governments are a complete and total catastrophe, the worst, most corrupt and inept anywhere in the world (if they even have a functioning government at all),” and therefore, instead of “viciously telling the people of the United States, the greatest and most powerful Nation on earth, how our government is to be run,” they should “go back and help fix the totally broken and crime infested places from which they came.”These remarks would be every bit as grotesquely racist if they’d been directed exclusively at nonwhite Americans born outside of the U.S., such as Ilhan Omar. And congressional progressives can’t retain the enthusiasm (or respect) of their party’s liberal base by gamely acquiescing to racially motivated human-rights abuses for the sake of easing Kendra Horn’s reelection.When the president reveals that he does not see nonwhite people as fully American — no matter their citizenship status or place of birth — it becomes all the more difficult for Democrats to see eye to eye on issues like “border security.” After all, if moderates agree that the Trump administration is led by a virulent racist, how can progressives agree to hand that administration new funds for migrant detention with no strings attached?Democrats are united in opposition to overt bigotry, but they disagree about whether there is an inherent connection between the callous words in the president’s tweets and the “egregious conditions” in America’s border facilities. States with stricter gun control laws had 4% fewer pediatric deaths, and those with universal background checks for firearm purchases in place for at least five years had a 35% lower risk, the study found.How the morning shows are covering Trump’s racist tweetsThis drastic policy change will face many legal obstaclesThe Trump administration on Monday moved to end asylum protections for most Central American migrants in a major escalation of the president’s battle to tamp down the number of people crossing the U.S.-Mexico border.According to a new rule published in the Federal Register , asylum seekers who pass through another country first will be ineligible for asylum at the U.S. southern border. When Mulvaney cannot be in the Oval Office for a policy meeting, one of his allies is usually there.Folks who want a new government-run health care system have been pretty clear that it would make the law meant to fix the old system obsoleteDemocratic front-runner Joe Biden today will unveil a health plan that’s intended to preserve the most popular parts of Obamacare — from Medicaid expansion to protections for patients with pre-existing conditions — and build on them with a new government-run public insurance option.Biden would also empower Medicare to directly negotiate drug prices, allow the importation of prescription drugs from abroad and extend tax credits to help tens of millions of Americans buy lower-priced health insurance.The plan — which the campaign says will cost $750 billion over a decade, to be paid for by reversing some of the Trump administration’s tax cuts — is less transformative than the “Medicare for All” proposal advanced by Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) and supported by some other Democrats, which would effectively do away with private insurance and shift all Americans to government-run health care.“I understand the appeal of Medicare for All,” Biden said in a video posted this morning.
