With airports jammed with angry passengers, Republican senators blaming each other behind closed doors for the government shutdown, and President Trump’s poll numbers tanking, the writing was on the wall. Feeling pressure from his fellow Republicans to reopen the government, Trump announced Friday afternoon that a deal was reached for federal employees to come back to work as negotiations on border security are given a little more time.

Last Friday, during the March for Life at the Lincoln Memorial, a junior in high school became the target of society’s collective hatred. Nick Sandmann was quickly dubbed a racist who embodied everything wrong in Trump’s America, and became the subject of online vitriol and rage, from death threats to calls to dox him and his classmates. The initial story fell apart by Monday. The narrative that pushed Sandmann and…

WASHINGTON — A White House official said Friday that the Trump administration is taking steps to ensure back pay is issued as soon as possible to the roughly 800,000 furloughed employees who went without paychecks during the 35-day government shutdown.

[President Trump’s emergency powers, explained.] The cease-fire could pave the way for Mr. Trump to deliver his State of the Union address to Congress after all, but Speaker Nancy Pelosi quickly clarified that it would not be held next Tuesday as originally scheduled.

Fast Facts: The Roger Stone indictment Roger Stone, a longtime political operative who was an official on the Trump campaign, is charged with 7 counts. After a court appearance Friday, he posted a $250,000 bond for his release.

I suspect he’s done so in order to encourage a systemic breach between Maduro and the Venezuelan military that keeps him in power. Pompeo knows that the Venezuelan military’s support for Maduro is not, ultimately, ideological in nature.
