Good morning from Washington. Tired of liberal denial about the border crisis? Kelsey Bolar has the hard numbers on just how bad – and unprecedented – the border situation is. President Trump has been a vocal advocate of cutting red tape from the beginning of his term. Fred Lucas covers a new White House report that looks at what slashing regulations has done for Americans’ wallets. On this day in 1847, the first stamps were released: a five cent one with an image of Ben Franklin, and a ten cent one featuring George Washington.

✵✵✵   The country’s 10-year stretch  of economic expansion hit a milestone today as the longest in U.S. history  ✵✵✵

President Trump is back at the White House this morning after a headline-grabbing weekend in Asia that produced a startling handshake in North Korea with leader Kim Jong Un and what may be a more consequential agreement with Chinese President Xi Jinping for a trade cease-fire and revived talks between China and the United States. Trump, with swashbuckling drama, made history as the first sitting American president to step into the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ), meeting with Kim for a discussion that lasted an hour. The two leaders agreed to restart denuclearization talks, which collapsed in February as both sides traded blame (The Hill). During an interview with The Hill one week ago, the president revealed he planned to visit the DMZ and “might” meet with Kim, a disclosure the White House asked The Hill to delay publishing. Five days later in Japan, however, Trump described his visit, complete with a tweeted invitation to Kim to meet with him at the DMZ, as both spur-of-the-moment and “long planned” (The Hill).   Trump leaned on flattery, intermediaries, tweets and a personal letter to Kim to display rapport before flying from Japan to South Korea on Sunday. The president publicly de-emphasized the brutality of the North Korean regime and played up his cordial relationship with “Chairman Kim” before their third meeting. Asked about South Korean reports that Kim executed and banished some members of his negotiating team following the failed Vietnam summit early this year, Trump told reporters he believes Kim’s negotiators are still alive. “I have to say that when I first became president of the United States, there was great conflict in this area. Great, great conflict,” Trump said, standing at the heavily fortified border between North and South Korea. “And now we have just the opposite. And it’s my honor,” he added, describing his handshake with Kim in the DMZ as “a great day for the world.” Many experts with experience with North Korea express deep skepticism that Kim, who sees North Korea’s nuclear program as his country’s calling card in the international arena, will ever verifiably disarm his country’s nuclear capabilities as a prelude to what he wants first and foremost, which is an end to crippling international sanctions. “This has a lot of significance because it means that we want to bring an end to the unpleasant past and try to create a new future,” Kim told reporters through a translator while standing next to Trump. “So, it’s a very courageous and determined act.” The New York Times: U.S. talks with North Korea are to resume within weeks.The Los Angeles Times: Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said he expects working-level talks to resume with North Korea in mid-July.  Before Trump visited North and South Korea, he sat down on Saturday with Xi at the Group of 20 summit in Japan, and the two men agreed to restart trade talks that fell apart seven weeks ago after the United States accused China of reneging on commitments it made as negotiations moved from sticking point to sticking point (The Hill). Trump and Xi did not agree to lift tariffs currently in place but said the world’s two largest economies would not escalate levies on imported goods while talks continue. Trump promised to hold off on his threat to slap new 25 percent tariffs on $300 billion in Chinese imports. The news gave global financial markets a boost (Reuters). The New York Times: Trump and Xi agree on more talks. Perspectives and Analysis: The Associated Press: History at the DMZ or a photo-op? NPR: Experts debate whether the DMZ event was the start of a deal or “just some nice pics and pageantry.” Politico: Trump’s made-for-TV moment in North Korea. Ben Rhodes: Trump lies when he says Obama as president soughta meeting with Kim and was rebuffed.  David Nakamura, The Washington Post: Trump scores his biggestlive show yet in North Korea with a diplomatic gambit that has no precedent. The New York Times: China-U.S. trade truce could enshrine a globaleconomic shift. The Hill: 2020 Democratic presidential candidates pan Trump’s North Korea visit. The Hill: Trump raises 2020 stakes by elevating North Korea, China on his agenda.

LEADING THE DAY

POLITICS & CAMPAIGNS: Fresh off an underwhelming debate performance last Thursday in Miami, former Vice President Joe Biden is facing more problems elsewhere, namely Iowa where warning signs have cropped up as the state becomes a massive test for his campaign.  According to Reid Wilson, some Iowa Democrats say they are unimpressed by Biden’s centrist credentials and have grown nervous about his gaffes. This comes at an inopportune time for the former vice president as sharper candidates are commanding attention and growing in polls behind him. Biden’s team has built a strong on-the-ground presence in the state, which includes 50 full-time staffers, with another wave of hires coming next week in a push to overwhelm other campaigns. Although they are trying to replicate plans by John Kerry in 2004 and former President Obama in 2008, Iowa remains tricky for the former vice president. Voters this weekend told Wilson they’re concerned Biden’s pledge to return the country to an earlier, possibly mythical, age of political gentility is naive, that his policy positions are insufficiently progressive for a party moving to the left and that he has been absent from a state where personal interaction with caucus goers is key to building support.  The debate performance on Thursday does not seem to have helped matters for Biden and has left him on the defensive. During a fundraiser in the Bay Area on Saturday, he pushed back on those claiming he is just the “old guy” in the race.   “I know I get criticized, ‘Biden says he can bring the country together.’ Well guess what, I refuse to accept, ‘He’s the old guy.’ I refuse to accept the status quo,” Biden said.  Additionally, a new Morning Consult poll released Sunday showed that while Biden maintains his front-runner status, he fell to 33 percent support. This is down from 38 percent in a Morning Consult survey a week ago. Meanwhile, Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.) has seen a substantial uptick in support since Thursday, rising from 6 percent to 12 percent in less than a week.  If the poll is any indication, it shows that debates could have a profound effect on the race. The next round takes place on July 30 and July 31 in Detroit. As Niall Stanage writes, the Democratic primary contest has become more fluid than ever after last week’s events in Miami.  Along with Harris, the momentum has also swung behind Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), who concluded a strong June with a surge in polling after a commanding debate performance in Miami last week, where she was the sole top-tier candidate on Wednesday’s stage.  As for Biden, the debate performance showcased his vulnerability as a front-runner and injected the first serious doubts about his fitness to become the party’s nominee a year from now. It also serves as a reminder of past presidential candidates who failed to turn high early expectations into winning formulas for the nominations. Examples: former Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-N.Y.) in 2008 and former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush (R) in 2016.  With the first debate in the rearview mirror, the eyes of political watchers are turning to see how candidates fared in the second fundraising quarter, which ended at midnight. South Bend, Ind., Mayor Pete Buttigieg became the first to report their second quarter numbers, announcing early Monday morning he raked in $24.8 million from nearly 300,000 donors, and has $22.6 million in cash on hand. Max Greenwood takes a look at five major questions worth asking as candidates report their fundraising totals. Among them is whether strong debate performances translate into big dollars for campaigns, and whether momentum for Warren will pay off, literally. Another big question centers around Biden: Will he meet the hefty expectations set after he raised $6.3 million in the first 24 hours of his campaign? Despite the lackluster debate performance, his campaign touted that it had its best online fundraising hour since his kickoff event in Philadelphia last month. Political watchers are keeping eyes on that second-quarter figure.  The Washington Post: Democratic candidates veer left, leaving behind successful midterm strategy.  The Associated Press: 2020 Dems face prospect of being cut from debates. The Houston Chronicle: Julián Castro deserves good look after strong performance in Dems’ 1st debate.

IN FOCUS/SHARP TAKES

CONGRESS: After a battle over funding for border spending roiled their conference, House Democrats are preparing to battle once again, this time over the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) appropriations bill. Progressives are sharpening their knives after losing out last week to moderates in the conference and are readying another battle over the DHS bill. Progressives were livid last week when the House voted on a compromise package negotiated by Senate leaders after being boxed in by a deepening humanitarian crisis at the border and moderates, also known as “front-liners,” who helped them win the House last year. Now, the fight is ready to repeat itself.  “You don’t have to watch the debate,” said Rep. Mike Quigley (D-Ill.), an appropriator. “Just get the old C-SPAN tapes. Run them again. It’s the same arguments.” The DHS bill is one of two the House did not pass in June. The House passed 10 of the 12 appropriations bills last month. It remains unknown when leadership may put the bill on the floor as the debate continues to play out (The Hill).  The New York Times: For all the talk of a Tea Party of the left, moderates emerge as a Democratic power.  Paul Kane: ‘It ain’t going to be easy’: Freshman House Democrats learn the limits of Washington in border bill fight. > Spending talks: Senate Republicans are facing problems internally as they struggle to unite behind a plan to fund the government after budget talks ground to a halt recently. At the moment, Republicans are struggling to agree on top-line figures for defense and nondefense spending as they hope to strike a deal before the end of September to avoid a second government shutdown.  Senate Appropriations Committee Chairman Richard Shelby (R-Ala.) pitched his colleagues during a closed-door lunch about “deeming” top-line defense and nondefense spending levels once they return from the July Fourth recess next week, absent a budget deal.  Time is also becoming a major factor. After lawmakers return to Washington next week, they will have only four weeks standing between them and a five-week break for August recess before they return for September after Labor Day (The Hill).  > Election security: Democratic lawmakers, headed by some 2020 presidential candidates, are making a renewed push for action toward passing an election security bill.  Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) has consistently refused to bring legislation to the floor on the issue, citing federalism issues. Nevertheless, Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.) attempted to force a vote on her election security bill, the Election Security Act, but Sen. James Lankford (R-Okla.) blocked it.  Additionally, the House passed the Securing America’s Federal Elections (SAFE) Act by a party-line vote last week, with Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) trying to put pressure on McConnell to bring legislation to the Senate floor in a press conference (The Hill).  *** WHITE HOUSE & ADMINISTRATION: A pending court battle over a congressional subpoena issued to former White House counsel Don McGahn tests the longstanding executive branch concept of absolute “immunity,” which was previously invoked by Republican and Democratic administrations. For example, the Obama administration also cited the concept to shield presidential advisers from testimony before negotiating with the legislative branch to provide information as part of oversight. However, the concept of immunity has not been settled in court (The Hill). The Congressional Research Service published a May report summarizing legal arguments and the history of executive claims of immunity from congressional oversight HERE.  > Defense Department: Acting Defense Secretary Mark Esper began his new job as Pentagon chief last week with advantageous connections on Capitol Hill and in the administration. Esper, named by Trump to permanently hold the top defense post with Senate approval, was secretary of the Army for the past two years. Since November 2017, the 55-year-old has sought to establish influential ties with Congress in a style his admirers describe as charismatic and detail oriented (The Hill). > Department of Homeland Security: The turnstile at the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) spun last week as the official lineup of those tasked with enforcing immigration law changed again, just 10 weeks after an earlier purge ousted former Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen. Following Nielsen out the door was the acting head of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, who abruptly resigned. Then the administration announced a new head of Customs and Border Protection (CBP). Some Trump allies and outside advocacy groups have expressed frustration with acting DHS Secretary Kevin McAleenan, a sign that personnel changes may again be on the horizon as the president hunts for loyalists and immigration hardliners to implement his agenda, challenge Congress and argue his policies in court (The Hill).   > The White House salary list: An annual West Wing report required by law to be sent to Congress each June illuminates who in Trump’s staff circle received raises in 2019, up to a ceiling of $183,000 for those with the title “assistant to the president,” the most senior staff level in the White House pecking order. Former government ethics expert Walter Shaub tweeted on Friday that some Trump advisers who have been accused of violating the Hatch Act multiple times received raises this year, including Trump counselor Kellyanne Conway and newly appointed Trump press secretary and communications director Stephanie Grisham (AlterNet). Mick Mulvaney, acting White House chief of staff, has an unusual arrangement in which he benefits from his simultaneous role as director of the Office of Management and Budget. The result: Mulvaney, unlike his predecessors in other administrations, is compensated above the West Wing salary cap for senior staff, a benefit of his “acting” status. He earns $203,500 a year. The salary list is HERE.  Forbes: Trump’s leaner White House payroll in 2019 is a savings for taxpayers.

THE CLOSER

And finally … It’s July and somehow June zoomed by in a blur. But there’s still time to put down your smart phones and turn to books. Summer books. Escapist books. Books for all ages. Books that fit in a suitcase, do well under umbrellas and survive a little sand. The Washington Post’s Book World editor, Stephanie Merry, worked with her team to put together a list of quality, important reads for all ages, from 1 to 100 HERE (Examples: if you’re 21, Ernest Hemingway’s “The Sun Also Rises.” If you’re 47, “Stretching” by Bob Anderson.)

Lots of interesting people to ponder over a span beginning in 1969. From true crime to a hot novel, Outside magazine culled its choices to five favorite summer reads HERE. Cosmopolitan magazine has its “beach-worthy” list HERE. O, The Oprah Magazine champions 28 page-turners HERE. And the smart staffers at The Atlantic chose 14 recommendations for summer reading HERE. The Sunday Times in the U.K. touts 100 recommended summer reading selections (50 novels and 50 works of nonfiction) HERE. And NPR’s devotion to books year-round is bound to spark some ideas if you skim HERE. If you’re a parent with college-age offspring or high schoolers contemplating college, a higher-education admissions specialist, Brennan Barnard, created a summer reading list after asking colleagues in high school counseling and college admission to recommend their favorite books from the year. He says that “some titles can help students and families ask critical questions of character, and others will simply serve as an escape from more academic pursuits.” The Washington Post published Barnard’s interesting book recommendations HERE.

POLITICO Playbook: Trump’s North Korea hangover

By BLAKE HOUNSHELL and DANIEL LIPPMAN 

07/01/2019 06:12 AM EDT

DRIVING THE DAY

AFTER THE THRILL IS GONE — Now that President DONALD TRUMP is back on U.S. soil, the reviews of his four-day blitz through Asia are coming in. And they are harsh, including the possibility that the Trump administration may recognize North Korea as a de facto nuclear power.

So, um, is this why JOHN BOLTON went to Mongolia instead of joining POTUS at the DMZ?

BIG IF TRUE — NYT’S MICHAEL CROWLEY and DAVID SANGER: “In New Talks, U.S. May Settle for a Nuclear Freeze by North Korea”: “From a seemingly fanciful tweet to a historic step into North Korean territory, President Trump’s largely improvised third meeting on Sunday with Kim Jong-un, the North Korean leader, was a masterpiece of drama, the kind of made-for-TV spectacle that Mr. Trump treasures.

“But for weeks before the meeting … a real idea ha[d] been taking shape inside the Trump administration that officials hope might create a foundation for a new round of negotiations.

“The concept would amount to a nuclear freeze, one that essentially enshrines the status quo, and tacitly accepts the North as a nuclear power, something administration officials have often said they would never stand for.” NYT

— AP’S ZEKE MILLER and JONATHAN LEMIRE: “Afterward, it was unclear whether the meeting was more show than substance. Other than the headline-grabbing moment and the unprecedented images, Trump’s only accomplishment appeared to be securing an agreement to restart nuclear talks that he himself had walked out on in February during his last summit with Kim in Vietnam.” AP

— BY THE WAY: If you’re a Democrat hoping JOE BIDEN would seize this moment to capitalize on his foreign policy experience by trashing Trump’s North Korea diplomacy, you might be out of luck. Per his public schedule, he’s meeting with advisers for the next two days.

JOHN BOLTON (@AmbJohnBolton): “Delighted to be in Ulaanbaatar & looking forward to meeting with officials to find ways to harness Mongolia’s capabilities in support of our shared economic & security objectives.”

AIRING TONIGHT: The president’s full interview with Fox News host TUCKER CARLSON, conducted before the whole North Korea business. Some newsless early dribbles here.

WOW … MAYOR PETE’S Q2 FUNDRAISING NUMBERS: The Buttigieg campaign announced this morning that it raised more than $24.8 million from more than 294,000 donors in the second quarter. The campaign has more than $22.6 million cash on hand.

THE LATEST FROM HONG KONG — “Protests escalate as Hong Kong marks handover to China,” by AP’s Ken Moritsugu: “Combative protesters tried to break into the Hong Kong legislature Monday as a crowd of thousands were marching in that direction on the 22nd anniversary of the former British colony’s return to China.

“With a crowd of a hundred or so people around them, a small group of people repeatedly rammed a cargo cart and poles into a glass panel. After they managed to get the cart wedged into the damaged panel, police grabbed the cart away from them. They also posted a sign saying to the protesters, stop charging before we use force.” AP … Live updates via NYT

2020 WATCH … DAVID SIDERS FROM 30,000 FEET: “‘The inevitability of Joe Biden is over’”: “For months, the Democratic presidential primary has been dictated by Joe Biden and Bernie Sanders. That primary is now over.

“After an eventful month and the conclusion of the first round of Democratic debates, there is a new top tier — and a sense among many campaigns and Democratic operatives that Biden and Sanders are suddenly within reach in a race that has broken wide open.” POLITICO

— NATASHA KORECKI and CARLA MARINUCCI, “‘Her ambition got it wrong about Joe’: Harris faces debate backlash”: “Kamala Harris might be reveling in her sudden burst of attention after roasting Joe Biden over racial issues on the debate stage last week, but a backlash is already brewing. Biden supporters and Democrats who have attended the former vice president’s events in the days after the first nationally televised debate, are describing Harris’ assault on Biden as an all-too-calculated overreach after she knocked him on his heels in a grilling over busing and his remarks on segregationist senators.

“‘She played low ball, which was out of character. And he didn’t expect it, nor did I,’ said Lee White, a Biden supporter who attended his remarks at the Jesse Jackson Rainbow PUSH Coalition. ‘She should not have gone that route. She’s much too intelligent, she’s been able to be successful thus far, why do you have to do that.’ One major Biden supporter from California who declined to be named for publication said Harris’ direct attack on Biden was a mistake that would haunt her.” POLITICO

— AP’S JUANA SUMMERS: “Harris lands 2020 endorsement from 2 Black Caucus members”: “Two more members of the Congressional Black Caucus are backing Kamala Harris’s bid for the presidency: Reps. Bobby Rush of Illinois and Frederica Wilson of Florida. … With these two new supporters, Harris now has six endorsements from the CBC.”

— “Meet the teens who love Bernie,” by Vox’s Tara Golshan: “What do they want? Revolution. When do they want it? As soon as they can vote.” Vox

Good Monday morning. Happy July! Blake Hounshell and Daniel Lippman here.

THE INVESTIGATIONS … COMING ATTRACTIONS — “Trump’s House allies lie in wait for Mueller,” by Kyle Cheney, Melanie Zanona, Darren Samuelsohn and Natasha Bertrand: “Democrats have been dying to hear directly from special counsel Robert Mueller for months, but they’re not alone. President Donald Trump’s GOP allies in Congress are salivating at the chance to bruise Mueller’s reputation and cast doubt on the integrity of his work.

“Mueller’s intensely anticipated July 17 testimony will bring him face to face with the Republican lawmakers who have savaged his reputation and called him the ringleader of a ‘coup’ against Trump. While Democrats attempt to squeeze morsels of new information out of the notoriously tight-lipped investigator, these Trump defenders are signaling that they’ll use the historic moment to try to undercut his credibility and paint him as a political pawn in Democrats’ efforts to undermine the president.” With a NSFW quote from Louie Gohmert: POLITICO

— “‘The enigma of the entire Mueller probe’: Focus on origins of Russian investigation puts spotlight on Maltese professor,” by WaPo’s Rosalind Helderman, Shane Harris and Ellen Nakashima

THE JUICE …

FIRST IN PLAYBOOK — NIKKI FOSTER, an Air Force combat pilot who now works at GE helping veterans find jobs, is announcing for Congress in the 1st District of Ohio. In her announcement video, made by Ralston Lapp Media, the Democrat talks about how caring for her son Henry in the ICU was actually more challenging than flying combat missions over Iraq and Afghanistan. This is a bit of a longshot race in an R+5 district, but Rep. STEVE CHABOT (R-Ohio) won by only 4 points last year. The video

— Kevin Hassett, most recently chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers, is returning to the Lindsey Group as VP and managing director and will also join the Hoover Institution as a distinguished visiting fellow.

— Katie McCormick Lelyveld is joining Precision Strategies as counsel. She most recently served as VP and head of communications and public affairs at Human Longevity Inc. and was communications director for former first lady Michelle Obama.

— The University of Chicago Institute of Politics’ six new fall fellows: Univision’s Enrique Acevedo; Jane Coaston, senior politics reporter at Vox; former Sen. Joe Donnelly (D-Ind.); Heather McGhee, senior fellow at Demos; former Rep. Tom Rooney (R-Fla.), who is also an NBC News analyst; and Navtej Sarna, former Indian ambassador.

TRUMP’S MONDAY — The president is back from his four-day trip to Asia, having landed at Joint Base Andrews on Sunday evening. He rode Marine One to the White House with senior aides Stephen Miller and Hogan Gidley, per pooler Francesca Chambers of the Daily Mail. But the White House hasn’t put out a schedule for today, as far as we know. There may be tweets.

PLAYBOOK READS

THE SCENE IN NORTH KOREA — AP’S ZEKE MILLER and JONATHAN LEMIRE in Panmunjom, Korea: “Trump escorted Kim back to the South as a scuffle broke out between reporters and North Korean security guards, with officials shoving and trying to block the press from capturing the moment. The jostling intensified as the leaders moved to the Freedom House on the southern side of Panmunjom, where they made brief remarks to reporters and then met for roughly 50 minutes.

“A photographer was knocked to the ground and one reporter was seen in tears. At one point, incoming White House press secretary Stephanie Grisham side-checked a North Korean guard who was blocking reporters from the room while others security officials frantically tried to cordon off the area with yellow rope. Grisham ended up with bruises from the fracas. The U.S. Secret Service intervened in the pushing and shoving match.” AP … Video

— KIM’S REAX: “‘The top leaders of the two countries agreed to keep in close touch in the future … and resume and push forward productive dialogues for making a new breakthrough in the denuclearization of the Korean peninsula and in the bilateral relations,’ KCNA news agency said.” Reuters

STRANGE BEDFELLOWS … OP-ED: “In an astonishing turn, George Soros and Charles Koch team up to end U.S. ‘forever war’ policy,” by Stephen Kinzer in The Boston Globe: “Besides being billionaires and spending much of their fortunes to promote pet causes, the leftist financier George Soros and the right-wing Koch brothers have little in common. … Now they have found something to agree on: the United States must end its ‘forever war’ and adopt an entirely new foreign policy. In one of the most remarkable partnerships in modern American political history, Soros and Charles Koch, the more active of the two brothers, are joining to finance a new foreign-policy think tank in Washington.

“It will promote an approach to the world based on diplomacy and restraint rather than threats, sanctions, and bombing. This is a radical notion in Washington, where every major think tank promotes some variant of neocon militarism or liberal interventionism. Soros and Koch are uniting to revive the fading vision of a peaceable United States. The street cred they bring from both ends of the political spectrum — along with the money they are providing — will make this new think tank an off-pitch voice for statesmanship amid a Washington chorus that promotes brinksmanship. ‘This is big,’ said Trita Parsi, former president of the National Iranian American Council and a co-founder of the new think tank.” Boston Globe

IF YOU READ ONE THING — THE NEW YORKER’S ADAM ENTOUS, “Father and Son: Will Hunter Biden’s business dealings and history of addiction jeopardize Joe Biden’s campaign?” (online headline: “Will Hunter Biden Jeopardize His Father’s Campaign?”): “Hunter speaks in the warm, circuitous style of his father. Through weeks of conversations, he became increasingly open about his setbacks, aware that many of the stories that he told me would otherwise emerge, likely in a distorted form, in Breitbart or on ‘Hannity.’

“He wanted to protect his father from a trickle of disclosures, and to share a personal narrative that he sees no reason to hide. ‘Look, everybody faces pain,’ he said. ‘Everybody has trauma. There’s addiction in every family. I was in that darkness. I was in that tunnel—it’s a never-ending tunnel. You don’t get rid of it. You figure out how to deal with it.’” The New Yorker

VALLEY TALK — “The Republican lawmaker rattling Silicon Valley,” by Nancy Scola and Cristiano Lima: “Josh Hawley arrived in the Senate this year as a conquering Republican hero, after wresting a Democratic-held seat on a platform of religious liberty, low taxes and fights against ‘Washington overreach.’

“Six months later, the former Missouri attorney general’s emergence as the chamber’s most relentless adversary of the tech industry has placed him at the center of a curious coalition of Democrats and Trump allies. But he’s confounding many of the libertarian Republicans who helped elect him — who say his proposals to rein in Silicon Valley’s accumulated power are verging into assaults on the free market and the First Amendment.

“Hawley embodies the rising threat facing some of the world’s most powerful companies, as political leaders of all ideological stripes sign on to break up or otherwise rein in online giants like Facebook, Google and Amazon. And it reflects how in the U.S., the modern GOP’s reluctance to tread on business can give way to larger worries about how major corporations are transforming society.” POLITICO

Purdue’s revenue is expected to drop below $1 billion this year for the first time in more than a decade, as employees leave and a potential bankruptcy filing looms, people familiar with the matter say.

“Controlled by members of the billionaire Sackler family, Purdue has also been reviewing the corporate structure of at least two dozen entities affiliated with the company that are under government scrutiny for possible fraud, according to some of the people familiar with the company. Purdue has previously said that it may file for bankruptcy but hasn’t made a decision.” WSJ

THE FLIP SIDE

View this email in your browser Monday, July 1, 2019 Supreme Court Rules on Gerrymandering and Census Last Thursday, the Supreme Court “ruled that courts should stay out of disputes over partisan gerrymandering – that is, allegations that redistricting maps were drawn to favor one political party at another’s expense. The practice of partisan gerrymandering may be distasteful, the court concluded, but it is a problem that politicians and the political process, rather than courts, should solve.” SCOTUS Blog The court also ruled on Thursday that the justification that the government offered at the time for including the citizenship question [on the census] was just a pretext [and sent the case back to the lower courts]. The decision left open the possibility that the Trump administration could try again to add the citizenship question, but the clock is ticking: The government has repeatedly told the justices, in urging them to resolve the case quickly, that it needs to finalize the census questionnaire by the end of [June].” SCOTUS Blog From the Left The left is generally critical of the gerrymandering decision, and argues that the court should have ruled more explicitly against the citizenship question on the census. “It enshrines the idea that politicians can choose their people rather than people choosing their politicians. And it will lead inevitably, consistent with partisan self-interest, to fewer competitive general elections, pushing political power at the congressional and state legislative level further toward the extremes — and those bodies usually are the breeding ground for our senators, governors and presidents. Washington’s inability to reason together to solve common problems is a result of this rot, and it’s about to get far worse…    “The chief justice expressed faith in the fact that redistricting reforms are going forward on a state-by-state basis. But his faith belies the obvious fact that those reform efforts are almost always the result of ballot initiatives, in which concerned citizens have bypassed the state legislatures out of necessity. And even that’s not always enough. In Missouri, voters approved a nonpartisan redistricting reform initiative in 2018, and afterward, Republican Gov. Mike Parson led an effort to repeal it, saying that the issue was too complicated for ‘the standard person’ to grasp. It’s a story we see over and over: Incumbents don’t want redistricting reform.” John Avlon, CNN   “Leaving this problem to be solved in the political process makes no sense: legislators who benefit from partisan gerrymandering are obviously not going to change the process. The court effectively put the fox in charge of the hen house. The majority decision is also anti-historical: the court can – and does – create legal standards, as it has in so many other areas, for when gerrymandering goes too far and violates the constitution. The court did exactly this in the 1960s, when it held that malapportionment of state legislatures violated the constitution. Prior to that, many state legislatures were badly malapportioned – there might be one district with 50,000 people and another with 250,000… The court should have dealt with partisan gerrymandering the same way.” Erwin Chemerinsky, The Guardian   “Roberts doesn’t dispute the toxic evils of partisan gerrymandering. He simply suggests that it has always been with us, ignoring how granular voter data and sophisticated GIS mapping systems make today’s gerrymanders far more pernicious than any other time in our history… [He] suggests that voters have the power to undo even the most gerrymandered map, ignoring this entire decade of election results, nationwide, that have weighted political power toward the party that drew the maps, with almost zero exceptions… The court should be more honest. They don’t lack the tools. They simply refuse to use them to defend voting rights.” David Daley, The Guardian   Counterpoint: “The Constitution confers voting rights and representational rights on individuals—not on political parties… What reformers were asking the Court to do, in effect, is give formal, constitutional sanction to parties, by requiring that districts be drawn with an eye not just to representing every vote fairly (that’s one person, one vote), but to representing every party fairly, too, according to its share of the total votes. One can argue for or against that change, but it is much more than a technical or mechanical reform. It is a big step toward parliamentary government—a change in the constitutional order, and one whose results are, again, entirely unforeseeable…     “Even in principle, there is no neutral, nonpolitical, and noncontroversial way to draw district lines… If you think abortion has politicized judicial nominations, just wait until judges are in the business of approving congressional districts. Even more than today, every judicial nominee will be vetted for party loyalty. Judges will become even harder to confirm. Partisans and interest groups will redouble their all-out warfare over the courts. And politicians and pundits will redouble their court bashing… extreme gerrymandering needs to be curtailed, but not by politicizing the courts, rewiring the Constitution, and setting off all kinds of unpredictable consequences. It needs to be done the hard way: by changing the state and federal laws that govern redistricting.” Jonathan Rauch, The Atlantic   Regarding the census, “the Trump administration came up with a preposterous lie to justify the change, that they needed it to properly enforce the Voting Rights Act. Emails obtained in a lawsuit and documents from a dead Republican consulant’s hard drive showed that the purpose of adding the question was to enhance the power of whites, Republicans, and white Republicans… [Chief Justice Roberts] remanded the issue back to the Department of Commerce (which oversees the Census) for further review. It was as though he said, ‘Please come up with a less ridiculous lie to justify this, and then we may let you move forward.’” Paul Waldman and Greg Sargent, Washington Post From the Right The right supports the decision on partisan gerrymandering, but is disappointed that the court did not uphold the citizenship question on the census. “Whether we approve of the practice or not, both parties have used gerrymandering since the inception of the nation. The origins of the expression itself go back to 1812… As [Chief Justice] Roberts noted, not even the Founders could provide a satisfactory remedy to the problem… [but] nowhere did the Framers suggest that unelected judges should usurp the power of the legislature and just do the work on their own.” David Harsanyi, New York Post “One of the hardest tasks of a judge is not to take action when faced with a serious problem the law doesn’t address… there are many problems that are not appropriate for judicial review and that our Constitution commits to the political process… For over 200 years, legislators have been tasked with drawing district lines, and there have been partisan complaints for just as long. Some states have addressed the issue by passing their own laws or constitutional amendments regulating how districts are drawn, which is an effective practical solution. But the Supreme Court cannot invent a standard out of whole cloth to govern redistricting questions – that is a task committed by the Constitution to the state and federal legislatures…  “While Courts do have a constitutional role in ensuring elections are free of racial discrimination, the same can’t be said of political jockeying.  Nothing in the Constitution forbids political and even partisan forces from playing a role in elections; indeed they are virtually unavoidable. By trying to police the political process, courts will only be drawn into it.” Carrie Severino, Fox News “Democrats have used gerrymandering as a weapon against Republicans for decades. The only reason Democrats are screaming now is because they lost so badly in 2010, giving Republicans the ability to draw congressional lines for the past decade. Prior to 2010, Democrats controlled most state legislatures and controlled Congress until the mid-’90s. As the South and Midwest slipped away, so to did their abilities to draw lines. Then, suddenly, gerrymandering became a problem… Instead of complaining about the rules we have had for 200 years — rules under which Democrats were winning just eight years ago — perhaps they should try winning instead.” Erick Erickson, Daily Wire Furthermore, “computer modeling has suggested that most of the Republican advantage in congressional districts can be explained by residential patterns (i.e., Democratic concentration in urban areas) rather than partisan mapmaking. To the extent that progressive critics wanted the courts to get involved not only in preventing partisan gerrymandering but in drawing lines to help Democrats out of a natural disadvantage, it is easy to see why the justices were hesitant to get into that business…  “The reality is that the observable impact of partisan gerrymanders on partisan control of the House of Representatives is fairly modest, prone to breaking down over time, and no barrier to frequent changes in control of the chamber. It is not a problem requiring radical solutions, and it is one we can work out without involving the courts.” Dan McLaughlin, National Review Regarding the census, “the administration’s process was chaotic and unprofessional, leaving behind a trail of evidence that the government’s stated justification for the citizenship question (that it would aid enforcement of the Voting Rights Act) may have been a pretext… But as Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito spelled out in separate opinions, it is not the Court’s job to play psychoanalyst, and the decision paves the way for courts to scrutinize policymakers’ motives much more broadly…  The census has asked about citizenship numerous times stretching back about two centuries. The Court’s job was to make sure the administration had an adequate explanation for adding the question back in — as Roberts conceded it did — not to look behind that explanation for ulterior motives.” The Editors, National Review “As the Supreme Court noted, all but one census taken from 1820 to 2000 included a question about citizenship or place of birth for at least some portion of the population. And since 2000, a citizenship question has been on the American Community Survey – a mini-census sent out every year to a large sample of American households… The question now is whether Justice Department lawyers can produce evidence needed to convince the lower court to approve the citizenship question before time runs out, or whether the census can be postponed to give the administration more time.” Hans von Spakovsky, Fox News “If the Secretary can muster up an alternate justification–for example, the states are interested in using citizen data to draw their maps–then the census question will survive.” Josh Blackman, Twitter On the bright side… ‘Cow cuddling’ is apparently a thing now.

Monday, July 1, 2019

Party in the DMZ After wrapping up their time at the G20 Summit in Japan, President Trump and other officials made a visit to the Demilitarized Zone between North and South Korea. President Trump called it a “very legendary, very historic day.” In addition to visiting the troops at the Osan Air Base in South Korea, the President met with South Korean President Moon Jae-in and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un. From Stars and Stripes: “The two leaders shook hands before Trump stepped across the curb into and walked several feet with Kim into the North. The two men then walked back and Kim crossed into the South, where he shook hands with a waiting South Korean President Moon Jae-in. “It’s a great honor to be here,” Trump said after returning to the South Korean side. He also said he was ready to invite Kim to the White House, and Kim responded that he’d like Trump to visit the North Korean capital Pyongyang. Kim called the visit an expression of his willingness to work toward a new future. The three men then walked into the South Korean building known as the Freedom House, where Kim and Trump talked for about 50 minutes. President Trump noted that what had been expected to be a short meeting had extended into a lengthy sit-down. ‘Leaving South Korea after a wonderful meeting with Chairman Kim Jong Un,’ he tweeted as he flew home. ‘Stood on the soil of North Korea, an important statement for all, and a great honor!'” While this is certainly a historic moment, there is still lots to discuss, especially in regards to the North Korean regime’s treatment of its people. The best book to read on this is Dear Reader: The Unauthorized Autobiography of Kim Jong Il by Michael Malice. Also of note, the new White House Press Secretary Stephanie Grisham was trying to help U.S. reporters get access when North Korean security guards “roughed” her up.  Journalist Gets Assaulted by ‘Antifa’ Mob Over the weekend, Quillette editor Andy Ngo was assaulted while covering a protest by an “Antifa” (self-proclaimed “anti-fascists”) mob in Portland, Oregon. He livestreamed the aftermath as police officers looked at his injuries and he waited for an ambulance. Ngo tweeted, “Attacked by antifa. Bleeding. They stole my camera equipment. No police until after. waiting for ambulance . If you have evidence Of attack please help.” Several videos soon surfaced and it was pretty horrific. Quillette reported he was kept in the hospital overnight as a result of a brain hemorrhage caused by the attack. While some journalists joked about Ngo being pelted with milkshakes, the Portland Police tweeted, “Police have received information that some of the milkshakes thrown today during the demonstration contained quick-drying cement. We are encouraging anyone hit with a substance today to report it to police.” U.S. Ambassador to Germany Richard Grenell said that he will ask the Justice Department to investigate the attack.  Must Read: FDA Lists 16 Brands of Dog Food Linked to Canine Heart Disease From the New York Times: “In the report, the F.D.A. named for the first time the pet food brands most frequently associated with adverse events. In descending order of most incidents of heart disease, the brands are Acana, Zignature, Taste of the Wild, 4Health, Earthborn Holistic, Blue Buffalo, Nature’s Domain, Fromm, Merrick, California Natural, Natural Balance, Orijen, Nature’s Variety, NutriSource, Nutro and Rachael Ray Nutrish. The heart condition examined in the report, canine dilated cardiomyopathy, often results in heart failure and is believed to have a genetic component, according to the report. The disease usually affects large breeds, but the F.D.A. said it knew of smaller dogs that had also been afflicted.” Just In Time for Independence Day Sales Before shopping the sales this Thursday, check out some of my favorite recent videos for summer fashion inspiration. 10 Summer Capsule Wardrobe Essentials (Fashion Mumblr) Styling Summer Dresses (Fashion Mumblr) 8 Summer Fashion Trends Worth Trying in 2019 (Shea Whitney) Top Wearable Summer Trends (Fashion Insider) And, of course, 5 Ways for Every Budget and Body to Embrace Spring and Summer Trends (Medium) A Case of the Mondays Chick-fil-A worker leaps through drive-thru window to save choking boy (Fox News) La-Z-Boy donating 50 pet beds to rescue organization that saved puppy abandoned with recliner on the side of the road (People) Dog reacts to fart toy (YouTube) (Yes, I immediately bought the toy because I couldn’t stop laughing)

Last week, the First Lady announced that she will be expanding her BE BEST initiative with the addition of 22 BE BEST ambassadors. From the White House: “At her one-year anniversary celebration in May, Mrs. Trump acknowledged and thanked BE BEST’s first Ambassador, a representative with the United States Agency for International Development (USAID).  The First Lady also called upon other agencies across the Administration to appoint a BE BEST Ambassador and today, the office is proud to be working alongside 22 BE BEST Ambassadors, who will focus on resources and opportunities to help make a difference in the lives of children. Since the announcement of BE BEST, the First Lady has collaborated with numerous departments and agencies to advance each of the three BE BEST pillars – the well-being of children, online safety, and combatting opioid abuse.” As BRIGHT noted last week, Stephanie Grisham is the new White House Press Secretary. You’ve seen her mentioned in this space before as the Communications Director for the Office of the First Lady. Last year, The Lily wrote about this single mother with two boys who became known as the First Lady’s enforcer and a powerful force in the White House. After this week, it’s clear she’s up for the job.   Mondays with Melania is a weekly feature that highlights what the First Lady is doing and wearing.

REALCLEARPOLITICS

07/01/2019 Share: Carl Cannon’s Morning Note Debate Losers; Weld’s Quest; Philadelphia & Gettysburg By Carl M. Cannon on Jul 01, 2019 08:07 am Good morning, it’s Monday, July 1, 2019. On this date in 1776, John Adams awoke early in anticipation of the momentous events unfolding in Philadelphia. “This morning,” he confided to a friend, “is assigned the greatest debate of all.” The debate was over independence, of course. The Second Continental Congress had recessed for three weeks while the Declaration of Independence was being drafted. Now was the time for discussion — and, hopefully, a vote. Adams had deferred to Thomas Jefferson in the drafting of the declaration, but he deferred to no one on this day 243 years ago. Rising to his feet, he spoke for nearly an hour. Although no C-SPAN footage exists to watch it now, we do have the reviews of those who were there, and we know the contemporaneous impact it had. Richard Stockton later proclaimed Adams to be “the Atlas of the hour.” No less a rival than Jefferson added that Adams spoke “with a power of thought and expression that moved us from our seats.” This was literally true in at least one case: When Adams finished, Joseph Hewes of North Carolina, a previous skeptic, raised his hands and cried out: “It is done! And I will abide by it.” One great issue was left unaddressed in Philadelphia. John Adams’ son, after leaving the presidency and joining Congress, would seek to resolve it in a series of debates on the House floor. But not all issues can be talked out. Slavery proved to be one of them. That issue was destined to be settled on the battlefield. And on this day in 1863, the decisive encounter of that great struggle began in Gettysburg. I’ll set the scene for that engagement in a moment. First, I’d point you to RealClearPolitics’ front page, which presents our poll averages, videos, breaking news stories, and aggregated opinion columns spanning the political spectrum. We also offer original material from our own reporters and contributors, including the following: * * * No Debate: “America Last” Dems Will Lose to Trump. Frank Miele was unimpressed by the ideas put forth last week in Miami. Bill Weld and the Rationale of a GOP Challenge to Trump. Jack Beyrer explores the history behind the former Massachusetts governor’s run for president. Harvard Must Set the Record Straight on Elizabeth Warren. Hal Lambert revisits the minority-status claims that have shadowed the presidential candidate — and the university that hired her. Conservatism and the Repair of the Republic. Peter Berkowitz assesses the arguments raised in Peter Wehner’s new book, “The Death of Politics: How to Heal Our Frayed Republic After Trump.” Insinuendo: Why the Mueller Report Repeats Itself. In RealClearInvestigations, Eric Felten shows how the special counsel’s team used rhetorical devices to shape a narrative that can be read as an indictment of Trump. Antitrust Fervor Hits Washington. In RealClearPolicy, Diane Katz argues that “big” is not synonymous with “bad,” and that consumers aren’t necessarily ill-served by a market with only a small number of competitors. Was Contentious EU Summit a Sign of Things to Come? In RealClearWorld, Charles Elkins examines the current state of paralysis. “Listening to Leaders.” RealClearBooks spotlights this newly published work from the George W. Bush Institute with an introduction by Holly Kuzmich on “Vision and Values” and interviews with the former president and Gen. Stanley McChrystal. * * * As July dawned 156 years ago today, Robert E. Lee’s battle-tested Army of Northern Virginia was marching through the Pennsylvania countryside in hopes of undermining the Union Army’s will to fight. Lee was underestimating Northern resolve, a miscalculation shared by many Union officers themselves — but not by Gen. John Buford and Maj. Gen. John F. Reynolds. These two West Point men knew how tough their troops had become, and were about to prove it. Neither man would survive the war. John Reynolds would be dead by noon on the first day the impending battle, just a couple of hours after he met Buford outside a theological seminary near the crossroads town of Gettysburg. Their brief conversation would alter the course of history. Typhoid fever would take John Buford before the arrival of the New Year. Abraham Lincoln mourned his passing. By then, however, those two officers had made the bold battlefield moves and issued the orders that put the Union Army in a position to win the decisive battle of the Civil War. Union Gen. Joseph Hooker had put his army in the right position in late June of 1863, crossing the Potomac River into Maryland and marching toward Pennsylvania in pursuit of the Confederates before Lee or Jeb Stuart knew the river crossing had even begun. Feeling undermined by political intrigue from Washington, however, Hooker impulsively resigned his commission that week, and Gen. George Meade was put in charge of the Army of the Potomac three days before the Battle of Gettysburg. Meade had been promoted over John Reynolds, who had been his superior officer, which both men recognized as a mistake. It is a testament to Reynolds’ character that when Meade said as much in a private meeting, Reynolds cut him off and said the right man had been given the command. In any event, on June 30, 1863, Reynolds found himself marching his units toward Gettysburg, where John Buford was already ensconced, but barely. Buford had led his 3,000-man First Cavalry into Gettysburg expecting to find rebels. He got more than he bargained for. But then again, the same can be said about Robert E. Lee. “If the Confederates were looking for a fight, Buford was just the man for them,” wrote historian Bruce Catton. “Unsupported cavalry was not expected to stand off infantry … but Buford liked to fight and he did not propose to leave until somebody made him leave.” What Buford and Reynolds both understood was that the high ground Buford’s cavalry had seized outside of town had to be held because it could prove pivotal in the epic battle unfolding that very morning. After deploying his men and ordering them to dismount and hold their ground against advancing rebel infantry, Buford had ridden back into Gettysburg and climbed the tower of a Lutheran seminary where he’d spent the previous night. From that vantage point he could see the river of Lee’s men heading his way. He also spotted Reynolds and his troops pouring in from the other direction and toward the high ground we now know as Seminary Ridge. Scampering back down to the street, Buford met Reynolds, who’d galloped his horse into the town alone to meet him. “What’s the matter, John?” Reynolds asked him. “There’s the devil to pay!” Buford began before advising Reynolds of the tactical situation. Reynolds instantly grasped the strategic importance of moving fast, and he dashed off a note to Gen. Meade. “I will fight them inch by inch,” Reynolds vowed, “and if driven into the town I will barricade the streets and hold him aback as long as possible.” As he realized that Reynolds’ infantry had beaten the Confederates in the race to Seminary Ridge, John Buford was finally able to exhale. “Now,” he said, “we can hold the place.”  Carl M.

North Carolina runoff becomes proxy war for D.C. interests

#GoodbyeGoogle: How you can help spread conservatism across America Posted: 01 Jul 2019 04:02 AM PDT What Project Veritas and James O’Keefe revealed was the last straw.

Despite being our #1 revenue source, we have officially removed all Google ads from […] The post #GoodbyeGoogle: How you can help spread conservatism across America appeared first on Conservative Christian News.

Shocking footage of police officer dragged 100 yards during traffic stop Posted: 01 Jul 2019 01:29 AM PDT There are often circumstances the left can pounce on whenever a traffic stop or arrest goes awry.

Cory Booker tries, fails to latch onto Kamala Harris’s momentum from attacking Joe Biden Posted: 01 Jul 2019 12:36 AM PDT Senator Kamala Harris attacked former Vice President Joe Biden during the first Democratic debate and it worked wonders. She’s soaring in the polls, eclipsing Senator Elizabeth Warren to have a firm hold on the #3 spot on the depth chart. Now, Senator Cory “Spartacus” Booker is trying to get a bump of his own by […] The post Cory Booker tries, fails to latch onto Kamala Harris’s momentum from attacking Joe Biden appeared first on Conservative Christian News.

Instead of cutting the loopholes and removing incentives, Democrats want to dangle a huge carrot in front of […] The post House Democrats want to bump Central American refugee numbers to 100,000 appeared first on Conservative Christian News.

Portland’s Antifa terrorists strike again following Andy Ngo attack Posted: 30 Jun 2019 11:06 PM PDT One of the traits of terrorists is they often get more violent once they demonstrate success with their cowardly acts. That trait is evident in Portland’s Antifa movement who didn’t feel they did enough by viciously attacking independent journalist Andy Ngo. They had to take it further. Much further. A thread by Michelle Malkin reveals […] The post Portland’s Antifa terrorists strike again following Andy Ngo attack appeared first on Conservative Christian News.

Most Americans favor Medicare-for-All until they find out what’s in it Posted: 30 Jun 2019 05:09 PM PDT America cannot afford another healthcare bill that gets passed before anybody reads it. Thankfully, even the surface-level facts about Medicare-for-All are so troubling to Americans, nearly two-thirds of us instantly rebuke it when we hear about it.

Even local news often focuses more on which presidential candidate the people support rather than Congressional, state, or local races.

Lest we forget, it’s mayors, city council members, county […] The post Make an effort to learn and talk about local elections for 2020 appeared first on Conservative Christian News.
