TRUMP AGENDA: Contrasting Melania Trump’s statement with Laura Bush’s

Here's the latest reporting from Jacob Soboroff on what it's like inside the nation's largest immigration processing center.

Melania Trump says she hopes that the family separation issue can be resolved by "both sides of the aisle."

And Laura Bush, in a rare statement, weighed in to call the policy "cruel and immoral."

Benjy Sarlin notes that the GOP immigration bill wouldn't actually address the separation issue.

Here's what Kellyanne Conway told one of us(!) about the policy.

The New York Times sums up both parties' efforts to push Trump to change the policy.

Despite denials, Roger Stone has revealed a new contact with a Russian national back in 2016.

From NBC's Rebecca Shabad: " The only strategy for congressional Republicans tougher than opposing President Donald Trump's policies may be supporting them — if only because figuring out which position they're supposed to back at any given moment is enough to stump any would-be ally."

The New York Times reports on how Trump's economic policy is guided by nostalgia.

And POLITICO notes that Trump's outside advisers see little benefit in actually joining the White House.
