Good morning from Washington, where Congress returns this evening after a six-week recess to address issues including guns, trade deals, and the border wall. Liberals have a new plan to confiscate guns, David Harsanyi writes, while tariffs on Chinese goods mostly hurt Americans, Yujin Kim and Tori Whiting argue. On the podcast, a rising teenage conservative tells his story. A hundred years ago today, the Boston police force goes on strike, signaling labor’s growing influence and propelling Massachusetts Gov. Calvin Coolidge toward the White House.

THE FLIP SIDE

View this email in your browser Monday, September 9, 2019 Taliban Meeting Canceled On Saturday, President Donald Trump tweeted, “Unbeknownst to almost everyone, the major Taliban leaders and, separately, the President of Afghanistan, were going to secretly meet with me at Camp David on Sunday. They were coming to the United States tonight. Unfortunately, in order to build false leverage, they admitted to… an attack in Kabul that killed one of our great great soldiers, and 11 other people. I immediately cancelled the meeting and called off peace negotiations. What kind of people would kill so many in order to seemingly strengthen their bargaining position?” Twitter “The surprise announcement left in doubt the future of the draft accord worked out last week by Zalmay Khalilzad, the special U.S. envoy for peace in Afghanistan, for a drawdown of thousands of U.S. troops over the coming months… Under the draft accord, some 5,000 U.S. troops would be withdrawn over the coming months in exchange for guarantees Afghanistan would not be used as a base for militant attacks on the United States and its allies.” Reuters From the Left The left is skeptical of any deal with the Taliban and critical of Trump’s diplomatic efforts. “It’s appalling that Trump would have even considered hosting Taliban leaders just days before the anniversary of the 9/11 attacks plotted by their ally, Osama bin Laden. Imagine what Trump — who excoriated President Barack Obama for negotiating with the Taliban — would have said if Obama had invited them for a sleepover. But Trump’s explanation for the cancellation — as with most things he says — makes little sense… the Taliban never agreed to a cease-fire. It is bizarre to call off negotiations because the other side continues doing something it never agreed to stop doing… The Afghanistan mess confirms what has been obvious from the start… Trump is a better dealbreaker than dealmaker.” Max Boot, Washington Post “When he blamed his Camp David fiasco on a Taliban suicide bombing last week, which killed a US soldier and several civilians, he was probably being less than candid. It’s likely he got cold feet at the last minute about an agreement that looked dangerously ill-judged – and which could see him blamed for a resurgence in Afghanistan of both al-Qaida and Islamic State. This snakes-and-ladders diplomacy mirrors his much-hyped, on-off talks with North Korea and his up-and-down stance on Iran, where he has blown hot and cold over a summit with Hassan Rouhani, Iran’s president.” Simon Tisdall, The Guardian “The Trump administration seems to be trying to thread an impossible needle: to cut a peace deal with the Taliban, who are demanding a total American withdrawal from Afghanistan, while at the same time ensuring that the country does not revert to what Trump has termed a ‘Harvard for terrorists,’ which a complete US withdrawal would surely help to enable. Meanwhile, the Trump administration is treating the Taliban as if the group is a government-in-waiting while simultaneously undercutting the legitimate Afghan government…  “The Taliban has consistently refused to negotiate directly with the elected Afghan government, despite the fact that the outcome of their talks with the United States will deeply affect the Afghan people the Afghan government represents. The cancelled Camp David talks appear to have been an effort to bring Taliban leaders and Afghan President Ashraf Ghani together, since Ghani was also going to be attending… The winner from the canceled Camp David summit is the elected Afghan president Ghani, who will run for reelection at the end of this month and may well win. And whoever wins that election will be in a far stronger position to insist that the next round of negotiations with the Taliban must include the duly elected Afghan government.” Peter Bergen, CNN “It’s not the first time Trump, a real estate mogul and reality show star who wrote a book called ‘The Art of the Deal,’ has stumbled in his attempts to strike deals that he promised voters in 2016 would give the U.S. an edge. He has been unable to secure a new, more comprehensive nuclear deal with Iran as he promised he would do. He has met three times with North Korea’s Kim Jong Un, but has made little progress in getting Kim to abandon his nuclear arsenal. His trade talks with China are going nowhere. And while his administration did manage to come to a new trade deal with Canada and Mexico to replace the North American Free Trade Agreement, it has yet to gain approval in Congress and it’s not drastically different from NAFTA itself…  “President Donald Trump’s boasts about his dealmaking skills may have helped him win in 2016. But after this weekend’s events, he has little to back up those claims on the world stage heading into 2020.” Nahal Toosi, Anita Kumar, Wesley Morgan and Victoria Guida, Politico “The temptation for the U.S. to exit Afghanistan grows stronger with news of every bombing and ambush inflicted on civilians, Afghan security forces or U.S. and NATO troops. But a withdrawal that doesn’t keep Afghanistan from becoming a rogue state, that fails to safeguard women’s rights, that leads to the collapse of legitimate Afghan governance, would prove disastrous — both for Afghans and, in future years, for America.” Editorial Board, Chicago Tribune From the Right The right is divided about negotiating with the Taliban. “Trump made the right call. The Taliban proved they are currently unwilling to negotiate seriously… This does not, however, change the crucial importance of diplomacy in Afghanistan. We cannot fight our way to victory in Afghanistan. A peace deal with the Taliban will ultimately be necessary. But Trump’s decision reflects a recognition that peace requires more than words. True peace requires the shared goodwill of both parties to sustain it. Until the Taliban changes its mind, American must continue to defend our interests in Afghanistan…  “American and NATO efforts in Afghanistan are now centered on counter-terrorism and supporting Afghan security forces with logistics, training, planning, intelligence, and aviation support. The Trump administration is also employing a long overdue pressure strategy toward Pakistan… An unconditional withdrawal from Afghanistan would inspire Salafi-Jihadist confidence around the world, and invite the Taliban to help rebuild al Qaeda. It would betray our allies abroad and endanger us at home. Maintaining military pressure on the Taliban while strengthening the Afghan government is a far better course. It strengthens us while incentivizing the Taliban to pursue what is most needed: a serious peace.” Tom Rogan, Washington Examiner “The Taliban has been killing indiscriminately for decades in its quest to gain, hold, and regain power. Did Trump not understand this? What did he think the Taliban is, an agrarian reform group?… The Taliban wants to be seen as driving the U.S. out of Afghanistan under extreme duress. It wants our exit to look more like Vietnam than Iraq (under President Obama). By driving us out in this way, the Taliban can claim, correctly, to have avenged the victory we achieved under President Bush when we drove the Taliban from power. It can also claim to be the true successor to the various Afghan groups that have defeated invading powers down through the centuries.” Paul Mirengoff, Power Line Blog Some suggest that “Mr. Trump might be tempted to resume talks with the Taliban, but he should be in no hurry… Critics who complain about ‘forever wars’ overlook that the U.S. has had troops deployed in Europe since World War II and in Korea since the armistice of 1953. These deployments have helped to keep the peace with limited American casualties…  “There is no domestic political clamor for the U.S. to withdraw all troops, especially with casualties low. The political harm for Mr. Trump would be far greater if a pullout triggered the collapse of the Afghan government and a humanitarian tragedy. A revived terrorist sanctuary in Afghanistan would also erase the political benefit for Mr. Trump from destroying the ISIS caliphate in Syria. The jihadist movement world-wide would declare a great victory… You can’t have a successful peace negotiation if one side has no interest in peace.” Editorial Board, Wall Street Journal Others, however, argue that “many of the same people who now vociferously protest against a political deal with the Taliban are some of the very same geniuses who believed that enough airpower and time could sway the insurgency into watering down its demands or defeat them outright… Let there be no mistake: if the Taliban is stupid enough to allow Al Qaeda or the Islamic State to plan terrorist attacks against the U.S. homeland or U.S. interests overseas, they can expect a tenfold military response… There is nothing in the agreement that prohibits Washington from exercising the right of self-defense, and the Taliban should be under no illusions about the willingness of Trump—or any future U.S. president—to authorize the full weight of the U.S. military if the situation requires it.” Daniel R. DePetris, The National Interest “The new [Afghan] government we helped set up controls almost no territory outside a couple of cities and the Taliban will wreck them the moment we’re gone… The war in Afghanistan was always going to end in only one way, and I’m hardly the first person to say this. At some point, America and our allies are going to have to leave… The remaining question is why we’re dragging out the inevitable. If that’s how this story ends anyway, why not just rip the bandaid off and get out of there now?” Jazz Shaw, Hot Air On the bright side… New Zealand develops roadside gym for endangered keas.

POLITICO PLAYBOOK

What Hill leaders want

By JAKE SHERMAN and ANNA PALMER 

09/09/2019 05:57 AM EDT

Presented by

DRIVING THE DAY

WELCOME BACK. The House and Senate come back into session today after six weeks of “district work.” There are 21 DAYS until the government shuts down. Fewer than four months until the end of 2019 — which means there are fewer than four months until a presidential election year. Not much time to get anything done. So we spoke to our sources in the congressional leadership to lay out the dynamics each leader faces this fall and beyond.

— SPEAKER NANCY PELOSI: The obvious big question facing Pelosi is simple: How does she handle what’s quickly turning into a process that could lead to impeaching President DONALD TRUMP? More than half of the Democratic Caucus wants to begin proceedings to remove the president. The chairman of the Judiciary Committee, Jerry Nadler of New York, seems ready to scream from the rooftops that he’s ready to dump Trump — and his colleagues sense it. Just Friday, POLITICO scooped that Nadler’s committee would vote to define the impeachment probe — meaning it’s getting more and more serious. And it falls to the Democratic leadership to hold this process together.

PELOSI, generally speaking, is as attuned to her own internal dynamics as anyone in the Capitol, and if she has to move, she will move. But, last we checked — and knowing Pelosi’s private remarks — she still does not believe the public is ready for impeachment. Conventional wisdom would dictate that time is running short for impeachment, and Pelosi couldn’t move to impeach the president during an election year. Although these days, conventional wisdom is as useful as it sounds.

OF COURSE PELOSI has other priorities: a fair shake when it comes to the spending bills that will come due at the end of September and a tightening of gun laws, to name two. The USMCA — the replacement for NAFTA — will be on everyone’s agenda, but Democrats close to Pelosi believe consideration of the agreement might be delayed until 2020. The National Defense Authorization Act — which sets military policy each year — could be a minefield, considering Trump’s gutting of military projects to build the wall he has never been able to convince Congress to fund. There’s also the reality that, come January, Democrats will be smack dab back in the middle of an election year, with the top of the ticket beginning to come into focus.

— SENATE MAJORITY LEADER MITCH MCCONNELL: This is the figure who has, perhaps, the most interesting matrix of considerations at play. McConnell has a Senate map that’s tricky — although he’ll remind you not to focus on the map, and that each race has to be won individually — and a president whose legislative positions are as easy to pin down as Jell-O. If you talk to people in McConnell’s orbit, you’d know the following: He doesn’t want another shutdown, and he’d like to finish the government spending negotiations without drama. He has a few things on his plate: more judicial nominations, government funding and the NDAA.

ON GUNS, McConnell has been stunningly consistent: He is not going to move unless the president gives him something to move on. McConnell isn’t foreclosing the possibility of gun legislation, but notes he’s going to take the president’s lead. He isn’t about to put his lawmakers through a ton of tough votes unless the president is ready to sign something.

POLITICALLY, McConnell’s Senate Republicans have some tough races on their hands: Cory Gardner in Colorado, Joni Ernst in Iowa, Martha McSally in Arizona and David Perdue and the open seat in Georgia. McConnell has had a field day trying to tie all Senate Democrats to some of the most progressive voices in the House. Of course, McConnell has his own race in 2020. And Democratic money is going to pour in to try to beat him.

— SENATE MINORITY LEADER CHUCK SCHUMER. Scumer’s biggest challenge — if it’s a challenge — is not letting any daylight come between him and Pelosi. The White House has tried to split the two Democratic leaders, but with little success.

GUN CONTROL will continue to be one of Schumer’s top priorities. Take this letter, and accompanying New York Times story: Pelosi and Schumer are pressing Trump to urge the Senate to take up a House-passed background bill. It won’t happen, of course, since Senate Republicans have said the House’s bill goes too far. But it’s a headline, and helps highlight what Schumer and Democrats see as Republican inaction. The letter also invokes the NRA, which helps Democrats highlight their view that the GOP is a wholly owned subsidiary of the gun lobby.

— HOUSE MINORITY LEADER KEVIN MCCARTHY. House Republicans have a few priorities. They have to fight to project Trump from impeachment and more investigations. They have to stick together to maintain any leverage they have against Democrats legislatively. And they have to focus maniacally on the handful of Democrats who hold seats that Trump won in 2016. McCarthy believes he is uniquely suited for this moment, because he has the political game needed to win back the majority.

THE LOOK-AHEADS … AP… WaPo

Good Monday morning.

FIRST IN PLAYBOOK … REMEMBER VALERIE PLAME? … The former CIA operative is running for Congress in New Mexico, and has a splashy introduction video that ties in her being outed by Scooter Libby, Trump’s pardoning of Dick Cheney’s former chief of staff and her run for Congress. The video is a Mark Putnam production and ends with Plame spinning a Ford Mustang around. 1:21 clip

A message from Business Roundtable:

The U.S. must overcome numerous challenges to ensure economic growth and prosperity for all Americans. As leaders of America’s largest companies, Business Roundtable CEOs urge Congress to focus on key priorities like USMCA this fall to benefit workers, farmers and business.

BRYAN BENDER and NATASHA BERTRAND: “Air Force leaders order probe of Trump resort stays”: “The U.S. Air Force has ordered a world-wide review of how it chooses overnight accommodations on long flights following revelations that air crews had occasionally stayed at President Donald Trump’s Scotland resort while refueling at a small commercial airport nearby.

“The review comes as additional instances of military personnel staying at Trump properties have been uncovered. The C-17 crew’s overnight stay at Trump’s Turnberry resort in Scotland earlier this year, first reported by POLITICO on Friday, was not an isolated incident.” POLITICO

BEHIND THE SCENES … A1, NYT: “How Trump’s Plan to Secretly Meet With the Taliban Came Together, and Fell Apart,” by Peter Baker, Mujib Mashal and Michael Crowley: “On the Friday before Labor Day, President Trump gathered top advisers in the Situation Room to consider what could be among the profound decisions of his presidency — a peace plan with the Taliban after 18 years of grinding, bloody war in Afghanistan. …

“As they discussed terms of the agreement, [Secretary of State Mike] Pompeo and his negotiator, Zalmay Khalilzad, made the case that it would enable Mr. Trump to begin withdrawing troops while securing a commitment from the Taliban not to shelter terrorists. [John] Bolton, beaming in by video from Warsaw, where he was visiting, argued that Mr. Trump could keep his campaign pledge to draw down forces without getting in bed with killers swathed in American blood.

“Mr. Trump made no decision on the spot, but at some point during the meeting the idea was floated to finalize the negotiations in Washington, a prospect that appealed to the president’s penchant for dramatic spectacle. Mr. Trump suggested that he would even invite President Ashraf Ghani of Afghanistan, whose government has not been party to the talks, and get him to sign on.

“In the days that followed, Mr. Trump came up with an even more remarkable idea — he would not only bring the Taliban to Washington, but to Camp David, the crown jewel of the American presidency. … Thus began an extraordinary few days of ad hoc diplomatic wrangling that upended the talks in a weekend Twitter storm. On display were all of the characteristic traits of the Trump presidency — the yearning ambition for the grand prize, the endless quest to achieve what no other president has achieved, the willingness to defy convention, the volatile mood swings and the tribal infighting.” NYT

NYT’S MAGGIE HABERMAN: “Trump Campaign Manager Sees President’s Family as Political ‘Dynasty’”: “President Trump may be the only member of his family to win major elected office, but his campaign manager for the 2020 re-election effort is already envisioning a family political dynasty that will outlast his time in the White House. The comments by Brad Parscale, Mr. Trump’s campaign manager, on Saturday were instantly scrutinized for clues as to whether the president’s children, some of whom have been seen by friends and supporters as potential candidates for office, were planning their own political futures.

“Mr. Parscale made the remarks at a California Republican convention in Indian Wells, in a speech that touched on the party and the presidency. ‘The Trumps will be a dynasty that lasts for decades,’ Mr. Parscale said. Asked to explain what that meant, he told reporters in California that he views the Trump family as people with ‘amazing capabilities.’

“‘I think you see that from Don Jr. I think you see that from Ivanka. You see it from Jared. You see it from all,’ he said, referring to the president’s eldest son, eldest daughter and son-in-law.” NYT

2020 WATCH … “Internal Kamala Harris document acknowledges ‘Summer Slump,’” by Trent Spiner in Manchester, N.H.: “A briefing memo accidentally left behind at a restaurant here showed Kamala Harris’ staff expected her to be grilled on her lack of presence in the state as well as her campaign’s ‘summer slump.’

“The document, obtained exclusively by POLITICO, detailed intricacies of her campaign’s relationships with Granite Staters she was set to meet last weekend — from how much her campaign has donated to local politicians to advice she received from a local TV reporter.

“It included talking points to rebut expected criticisms from voters or reporters, such as the limited number of visits she’s made to the first-in-the-nation primary state and her lackluster poll results. ‘You haven’t traveled to New Hampshire as frequently as some of your Democratic rivals,’ the memo, titled ‘Briefing and Talking Points,’ said. ‘Is the state a priority for your campaign?’” POLITICO

— DAVID SIDERS and ELENA SCHNEIDER: “‘Nervous as hell’: Joe Biden is the front-runner everyone keeps waiting to implode”: “He continues to outdistance the rest of the Democratic primary field in most polls. And his head-to-head numbers against President Donald Trump are stronger than anyone else’s.

“No one should be surprised next year if Joe Biden becomes the nominee. What is surprising is how many people expect his campaign to implode any day.

“It is a sensation underpinning the entire primary, evident not only in the vulturous calculations of Biden’s competitors, but also within his own orbit of supporters — a feeling that the frontrunner may be made of porcelain, one direct hit short of falling apart. ‘There’s a clear worry among Biden supporters that he can’t be the front-runner from June of 2019 through July of 2020 … that eventually the gaffes will pile up and he’ll come down,’ said Ed Rendell, a former Pennsylvania governor and one of Biden’s most vocal supporters.” POLITICO

A message from Business Roundtable:

USMCA should be a top priority for Members of Congress to support the millions of Americans who depend on trade with Canada and Mexico.

SNEAK PEEK: HAPPENING TONIGHT — DAVID MUIR will report from Iraq on ABC’S “WORLD NEWS TONIGHT” and “NIGHTLINE.” Muir traveled with U.S. forces during an operation to take out ISIS fighters near the Syrian border. “The reality on the ground right now is we have seen, since the collapse of the caliphate, that ISIS has repositioned a lot of its capabilities,” Major Gen. Alex Grynkewich told Muir. “They’re trying to garner resources, extort the population, do low-level attacks. There’s certainly an insurgency going on, on the ground right now.” Pic

AP: “Trump’s North Carolina rally to be a test for his clout, GOP,” by Jonathan Lemire and Alan Fram: “President Donald Trump’s rally in North Carolina will serve as a measure of his clout in trying to elect a Republican to the House in a closely watched special election that’s seen as a tossup race.

“It will be his first campaign rally since a tough end of summer that saw slipping poll numbers, warning signs of an economic slowdown and a running battle over hurricane forecasts. Trump will visit the state Monday night on the eve of the House election. He enjoys wide popularity within his own party, but a GOP defeat in a red-leaning state could, when combined with a wave of recent bad headlines, portend trouble for his reelection campaign.” AP

— STEVEN SHEPARD in Weddington, N.C.: “The last, lingering piece of the 2018 election is about to preview the fundamental dynamic shaping the fight for the White House in 2020.

“Tuesday’s do-over election for a congressional seat marred by allegations of fraud last year, taking place in a Republican-leaning slice of North Carolina, exemplifies the key push-pull of politics in the Trump era: Cities and suburbs racing away from the GOP and toward Democrats — and rural and exurban voters roaring back in the other direction, propelled by President Donald Trump’s appeal.

“The battle to maximize those trends will shape the 2020 campaign between Trump and his Democratic opponent in virtually every important swing state, from the Midwestern battlegrounds of Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin to Florida and Arizona in the Sun Belt. And it’s driving the election in North Carolina’s 9th District, which Trump carried handily in 2016 but became a surprising 2018 swing seat amid broad suburban backlash to the president.” POLITICO

POLITICO MAGAZINE: “‘Someone’s Gotta Tell the Freakin’ Truth’: Jerry Falwell’s Aides Break Their Silence,” by Brandon Ambrosino: “At Liberty University, all anyone can talk about is Jerry Falwell Jr. Just not in public. ‘When he does stupid stuff, people will mention it to others they consider confidants and not keep ittotally secret,’ a trusted adviser to Falwell, the school’s president and chancellor, told me. ‘But they won’t rat him out.’

“That’s beginning to change. Over the past year, Falwell, a prominent evangelical leader and supporter of President Donald Trump, has come under increasing scrutiny. News outlets have reported on business deals by Liberty University benefiting Falwell’s friends. Trump’s former personal attorney Michael Cohen claimed that he had helped Falwell clean up racy ‘personal’ photographs.

“Based on scores of new interviews and documents obtained for this article, concerns about Falwell’s behavior go well beyond that—and it’s causing longtime, loyal Liberty University officials to rapidly lose faith in him.

“More than two dozen current and former high-ranking Liberty University officials and close associates of Falwell spoke to me or provided documents for this article, opening up—for the first time at an institution so intimately associated with the Falwell family—about what they’ve experienced and why they don’t think he’s the right man to lead Liberty University or serve as a figurehead in the Christian conservative movement.

“In interviews over the past eight months, they depicted how Falwell and his wife, Becki, consolidated power at Liberty University and how Falwell presides over a culture of self-dealing, directing university resources into projects and real estate deals in which his friends and family have stood to make personal financial gains. Among the previously unreported revelations are Falwell’s decision to hire his son Trey’s company to manage a shopping center owned by the university, Falwell’s advocacy for loans given by the university to his friends, and Falwell’s awarding university contracts to businesses owned by his friends.” POLITICO Magazine

SCOOP — “IAEA found uranium traces at Iran ‘atomic warehouse,’” by Reuters’ Francois Murphy in Vienna: “Samples taken by the U.N. nuclear watchdog at what Israel’s prime minister called a ‘secret atomic warehouse’ in Tehran showed traces of uranium that Iran has yet to explain, two diplomats who follow the agency’s inspections work closely say.

“The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) is investigating the particles’ origin and has asked Iran to explain the traces. But Tehran has not done so, according to the diplomats, stoking tensions between Washington and Tehran.” Reuters

HEADS UP — “High Debt Levels Are Weighing on Economies,” by WSJ’s Vipal Monga: “Global interest rates are low and may head lower, driven by slowing economies and the U.S.-China trade war. A less appreciated reason for lower rates is a mountain of debt built up during the past decade.

“Debt owed by governments, businesses and households around the globe is up nearly 50% since before the financial crisis to $246.6 trillion at the beginning of March, according to the Institute of International Finance, an association of global financial firms.

“The borrowing helped pull economies out of the nasty recession, but left them with high debt burdens that make it harder for policy makers to raise rates. It also makes consumers and businesses more likely to pull back from spending money on new goods if economic conditions weaken.” WSJ

A message from Business Roundtable:

HIGH TIMES — “Why the most pro-marijuana Congress ever won’t deal with weed,” by Paul Demko and Natalie Fertig: “This could be a big moment for marijuana and Congress. But Democrats are fighting Democrats over whether to focus on social justice issues or industry priorities like banking. Marijuana advocates are divided among themselves over whether to push for full legalization or settle for less far-reaching legislation. And many Republicans — some of whom are seeing the benefits of cannabis legalization in their home states — are still decidedly against any legalization on the national level, even for medicinal uses.

“At the same time that Congress is in gridlock, there is growing national support for cannabis, which is illegal at the federal level but at least partially legal in 33 states. In addition, public opinion is shifting rapidly, with nearly two-thirds of Americans supporting legalization according to Gallup — double the level of support two decades ago.

“That’s led to a steadily growing number of lawmakers on both sides of the aisle who represent states with legal cannabis markets, making them more sympathetic toward legislation aimed at helping the burgeoning industry — which brought in roughly $10 billion in sales last year.” POLITICO

Bumper stickers say ‘Choose Civility.’ The county’s pioneering newtown, Columbia, was founded on the premise that people of different races and economic status should live side by side.

“Now, those convictions are being tested by a proposal that seeks to redistribute some 7,400 of the school system’s 58,000 children to different schools — in part to address socioeconomic segregation that leaves children from poor families concentrated in certain schools.” Baltimore Sun (hat tip: Alec MacGillis)

USMCA modernizes trade with Canada and Mexico and will create more U.S. jobs. That’s why Business Roundtable is calling on Congress to pass USMCA.

Congress returns to Washington today after the August recess with a lengthy agenda on its hands in the coming weeks as lawmakers look ahead to averting a government shutdown and potentially taking action on gun violence legislation, among other items.    The most immediate pressing matter facing Congress is on the spending side as it braces for a three-week sprint to avoid the second government shutdown of the year after the 35-day squabble over wall funding that ended in late January.    House Democrats are moving forward with their plan to punt the fight until later in the fall. House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) announced plans to put a clean stopgap funding bill on the floor the week of Sept. 16. The bill is expected to run through the week before Thanksgiving, but it could be a mini-slog, as lawmakers will have to reach an agreement with the administration on border restrictions, as Jordain Carney reports.   Senate Republicans, meanwhile, will start marking up bills next week and want to get at least one package to Trump’s desk this month, even though Democrats say there isn’t time to do so.    On top of spending, Democrats have a more broad issue to deal with: how to keep the focus on their agenda in Congress as multiple House committees continue to investigate the president and his connections and the 2020 Democratic primary consumes most of the oxygen.    As Cristina Marcos writes, Democrats face a growing dilemma about how to keep a focus on their agenda amid an escalating series of investigations of President Trump and as support for impeachment grows within the party. While the support has grown, especially over the past two months, one area where it has not is with those in swing districts who handed Democrats the majority in November, many of whom are focused on other issues, such as the party’s agenda.    Nevertheless, House Democrats have shown no signs of slowing down their investigative efforts, including the decision to open a series of new investigative fronts in recent weeks on payments to women alleging affairs with the president, Trump’s promotion of his own hotels for government use and the president’s alleged promise of pardons related to his immigration agenda, all under the ever-expanding impeachment umbrella.   Democrats also remain vocal about election security, and they continue to hammer Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) for his decision not to bring legislation to the floor on the issue. Senate and House Democrats are pushing to have legislation brought to the floor on the issues, but Republicans remain hesitant. Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) and Hoyer sent letters to their colleagues on Thursday detailing their goals on the issue over the coming months.   “We must continue our push to protect our elections at the federal, state, and local levels, especially in the upcoming Senate appropriations process,” Schumer wrote (The Hill).    Lastly, lawmakers are expected to tackle gun violence in some form. Congressional Democrats continue to call for Senate Republicans to bring up the background checks bill the House passed in February. McConnell is not expected to consider the legislation. However, public support on background checks remains high and has only risen since the pair of mass shootings in early August in El Paso, Texas, and Dayton, Ohio, with a third shooting in West Texas taking place just over a week ago.    The Hill: Crenshaw-AOC battle puts spotlight on lending guns to a friend.   The Washington Post: Trump to visit Baltimore Thursday, a city he called a ‘rodent infested mess.’   The Washington Post: Freshman Rep.

LEADING THE DAY

WHITE HOUSE/ADMINISTRATION: Secretary of State Mike Pompeo defended the president’s recently abandoned decision to invite Taliban leadership along with Afghan President Ashraf Ghani to talks at Camp David as lawmakers on both sides of the aisle criticized the initial invitation.    Pompeo pulled a “full Ginsburg” on Sunday morning, appearing on all five Sunday shows, where he backed the president’s move, saying that the invite was a political risk as Trump looks for a deal to bring down the U.S. military footprint in Afghanistan. However, the president has since recalled Zalmay Khalilzad, the U.S.’s lead negotiator, and negotiations are currently dead (The Hill).    “We’re looking for more than words on paper. We’re looking for real delivered commitment, and the Taliban demonstrated either that they weren’t willing to or couldn’t live up to the commitment they needed to make to reduce violence there,” Pompeo said on “Fox News Sunday.”    Pompeo also supported the move by citing the history of negotiations at Camp David, noting that many “bad actors” have come through the presidential retreat for talks. However, some lawmakers pointed to other history at Camp David as they lambasted the president’s initial call.   “Camp David is where America’s leaders met to plan our response after al Qaeda, supported by the Taliban, killed 3000 Americans on 9/11,” said Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.), the No. 3 House Republican, in a tweet. “No member of the Taliban should set foot there. Ever.”   The president said that he nixed the meeting after the Taliban claimed credit for last week’s deadly attack in Kabul, which killed 11 civilians and a U.S. service member. The Taliban also claimed a suicide bombing on Tuesday in Kabul that killed at least 16 people and wounded more than 100 (The Washington Post).   The Associated Press: Plan for Taliban meeting latest bold Trump gamble to unravel.

Underlying those issues are continued worries of a possible recession during an election year.    The White House has also been forced to contend with a handful of controversies that have distracted from the administration’s agenda. Among those are the president’s accusations that Jews who vote Democrat are “disloyal,” his cancellation of a trip to Denmark after its leaders shot down the possibility of the U.S. purchasing Greenland, and his never-ending battle with the media over his assertion that Alabama was in the path of Hurricane Dorian, even as the storm was hitting the Carolinas.    Reuters: International Atomic Energy Agency found uranium traces at Iran “atomic warehouse.”   Politico: Air Force leaders order probe of Trump resort stays.

IN FOCUS/SHARP TAKES

POLITICS & CAMPAIGNS: Another Republican has announced a primary bid against the president. This time, it’s former Rep. Mark Sanford (R-S.C.), who became the third Republican to primary the president despite staring at the ultimate David and Goliath situation.    Sanford, the former South Carolina governor and House Freedom Caucus member made his announcement on “Fox News Sunday,” pointing to the need for a focus on the rising national debt and deficit spending.    “I’m here to tell you now that I am going to get in,” Sanford said. “I think we need to have a conversation on what it means to be a Republican … As a Republican Party, we have lost our way.”   Sanford has long been a thorn in the side of Trump, having opposed him during the GOP primary and continuing to criticize him throughout his first two years in office before Trump came out in support of his primary challenger hours prior to the polls closing. Sanford lost the primary (The Hill).    As for Trump, his campaign not only has 2020 in view, but also seems to have the long game in view. Speaking to a convention of GOP delegates in Indian Wells, Calif., on Saturday, Brad Parscale, the president’s campaign manager, opined that Trump and his family will be a “dynasty” for the GOP (The Associated Press).    “The Trumps will be a dynasty that will last for decades, propelling the Republican Party into a new party,” Parscale said. “One that will adapt to changing cultures. One must continue to adapt while keeping the conservative values that we believe in.”   Parscale’s comments raised eyebrows among some Republicans over the weekend who question the chances of a dynasty. One GOP strategist argued that while the president will remain relevant well into the future, many remain skeptical of the possibility of a Trump dynasty.   “Win or lose next year, Donald Trump will be a force in American politics as long as he’s capable of sending a tweet. But Americans are inherently skeptical of political dynasties since they run counter to our democracy,” the strategist said. “Plus none of the Trump kids have shown their father’s panache, raw political instincts or communications skills in the era of social media that will be necessary for any successful political candidate in the years ahead.”   CBS News: Republicans in three states cancel presidential nominating contests for 2020.   The New York Times: Sen.

© Getty Images     > North Carolina special: Republicans are in scramble mode ahead of a key special election in North Carolina and are trying to avoid a potentially embarrassing loss in a race that could give off hints of what might lie ahead electorally for the GOP and Democrats.   Internal polls of the race in North Carolina’s 9th Congressional District show Republican Dan Bishop and Democrat Dan McCready in a dead heat, but — just like 2018 — Republican officials and strategists are privately griping that Democrats have an edge in voter enthusiasm.    More than anything, Republicans are banking on Monday night’s visit to the district by the president to rally voters to the polls to deny Democrats yet another victory in a contested House race and send Bishop to Washington (The Hill).   > GOP down ballot: For the second campaign cycle in a row, House Republicans are facing a wave of retirements that threaten their prospects at the ballot box and could be a blow to their push to retake the House in 2020.   15 House Republicans have announced this cycle that they are retiring, resigning or running for other offices, including eight since the summer recess began in late July, some of whom would have faced a tough battle for reelection. However, most are in safe GOP seats, meaning that those departing are possibly doing so because of Trump era fatigue or not wanting to serve in the minority for years to come (The Hill).    “The most likely outcome is a status quo election for the House. And that certainly influences people’s decision [to retire], whether they think they can regain the majority or not,” said former Rep. Carlos Curbelo (R-Fla.), one of two dozen Republicans who lost reelection bids during the 2018 midterms   “For sure, some of those members who retired, [staying in the minority] was a factor in their thinking,” he added.   On the Senate side, Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas) is facing his toughest reelection test next year as Texas becomes a more competitive state for Democrats, particularly in suburban areas that almost propelled former Rep. Beto O’Rourke (D-Texas) into the Senate last year.    Unlike past cycles, Republicans are being forced to pay attention to the Lone Star State as Texas Democrats go all out to win the party’s first statewide election in 25 years, including the launch of a multi million-dollar war room to deliver data and messaging to define Cornyn as a lackey of the president (The Hill).    “He’s a much stronger candidate than [Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas)], and in any other year, he’d be untouchable, he’d have it in walk,” said Bill Miller, a GOP lobbyist and consultant in Austin. “This year, because of Trump, it’s a different dynamic. The Democrats will have a bloody primary, and that’s not the best way to take on an incumbent, but they’re hoping for magic at the top of the ticket. Cornyn is strong, but he’s vulnerable.” Paul Kane: Reps. Joe Kennedy III (D-Mass.), Cheney consider their choices in the call of familial ambition.   Reuters: Tom Steyer clears hurdle to join Democratic debate in October.

➔ Hurricane Dorian: Canada became the latest country to deal with Hurricane Dorian as hundreds of thousands in Halifax and Newfoundland lost power when the storm slowed but continued to cause problems over the weekend. No deaths were reported in Canada from the hurricane after it was responsible for at least 50 deaths in the Bahamas, U.S. and elsewhere (The Associated Press) … Meanwhile, the Bahamas is trying to pick up the pieces a week after the storm caused widespread devastation throughout the islands. Hundreds of people are clamoring for seats on flights and cruise ships as they seek help in the aid effort in the aftermath of the storm (The Associated Press).   ➔ Hong Kong: Demonstrations continued over the weekend as protestors rallied outside the U.S. Consulate and pleaded for Trump to help “liberate” the city. “Fight for freedom. Stand with Hong Kong,” demonstrators shouted before handing over petitions at the consulate. “Resist Beijing. Liberate Hong Kong.” Police responded to the demonstrations by firing tear gas in an attempt to disperse the crowd (Reuters).    ➔ Vaping: Health officials are trying to figure out the causation of severe lung disease in some e-cigarette users. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said on Friday it was investigating 450 possible cases of lung disease tied to vaping, including five deaths.

THE CLOSER

And finally …  a public service announcement for all those in the DMV regions: The Metro reopened six stations this morning after more than three months of track work south of Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport. Braddock Road, King Street–Old Town, Eisenhower Avenue, Huntington, Van Dorn Street and Franconia–Springfield, are all set to operate on a normal schedule, although Metro said it would be taking no chances and would have shuttles ready in case there were any issues.    “Right now, everything looks good for Monday,” Metro General Manager Paul Wiedefeld said, adding that he was “excited and nervous” for the reopening of the stations.    According to Wiedefeld, Metro’s work has been focused on repairing deteriorating platforms, along with “all the other things we could do while we’re out there,” including  track work and upgrades to stations.    These are not the final fixes coming to the Metro system by any stretch of the imagination. Next summer, Metro will shut down tracks along the Orange Line west of Ballston and the Green Line north of Fort Totten (WTOP).

Peace Talks Canceled 
On Saturday, President Trump revealed that separate meetings were planned at Camp David with the President of Afghanistan and “the major Taliban leaders.” The meetings were canceled after the Taliban said they were behind a recent bombing in Kabul that killed a U.S. soldier. From the AP:

“Trump tweeted Saturday night that he canceled negotiations with the Taliban in the wake of Thursday’s car bombing that killed an American soldier, a Romanian service member and 10 civilians in a busy diplomatic area near the U.S. Embassy in the Afghan capital. The bombing was one of many attacks by the Taliban in recent days. Sgt. 1st Class Elis A. Barreto Ortiz, 34, was the fourth U.S. service member killed in the past two weeks in Afghanistan.

“They tried to use terror to improve their negotiating position,” said [Secretary of State]Pompeo, who appeared on five Sunday TV talk shows. “The Taliban overreached.”

On Fox News Sunday, host Chris Wallace asked Secretary Pompeo about the timing of the meeting and it being so close to the anniversary of the terrorist attacks on September 11. He didn’t comment on the timing, but said that President Trump “has always been someone … willing to take risks if he believes he can deliver a good outcome for the American people.”

On Sunday night, the New York Times reported on how the meeting came together and fell apart. “American officials stressed that the peace drive was not over and the deal had been neither rejected nor accepted. With Mr. Trump especially, anything can happen.”

Radio show host Jesse Kelly said, “You either want out of Afghanistan or you think we shouldn’t negotiate with the Taliban. You cannot do both. It’s gross and it’s unpleasant. Sitting down with North Vietnam was unpleasant. But if you truly want to bring our people home, then you’re negotiating with the Taliban.”

What You Need To Know About the August Job Numbers
Last week the August job report from the Labor Department came out and everyone has a take. The report said that in August, 130,000 jobs were added in the U.S. Some people thought it was disappointing since expectations were for 150,000 jobs and noted that 23,000 of the jobs that were added are temporary U.S. Census workers. The New York Times reported, “Worries about a potential recession have mounted in recent weeks, driven by the trade war, new evidence of weaker growth in Asia and Europe, and movements in the bond market. Another negative factor is that the stimulus from the tax cut enacted in late 2017 is fading.”

In addition to jobs still being added and unemployment remaining low, there is one other area doing well. CNBC reported, “Wage growth remained solid, with average hourly earnings increasing by 0.4% for the month and 3.2% over the year; both numbers were one-tenth of a percentage point better than expected.”

Following an article last week in the Wall Street Journal that lamented that people were stuck in middle class, financial guru Dave Ramsey went on a rant about why middle class America isn’t a bad thing. It’s worth watching. 

A New Generation
The New York Post reported that 13 children of firefighters who died on September 11 are joining the Fire Department of New York — the most “legacy” rookies since 9/11. The class includes two brothers and one sister and brother. Fire Commissioner Daniel Nigro told the New York Post, “Bravery runs in these extraordinary families who have sacrificed so much for our city. I’m proud of the commitment these probies have already demonstrated to the department and look forward to celebrating with them at their graduation.”

I also can’t help but note the photos are pretty awesome, too.

The Hardest Part About Writing? It’s the writing. If you enjoyed our special Labor Day edition with author, combat veteran and Purple Heart recipient Sean Parnell, check out this expanded interview. An excerpt: “I got a great piece of advice writing Outlaw Platoon. It has to be warts and all. There are a lot of “war” memoirs, written by generals like say during World War II, that make combat feel like a chessboard, where every time they move a unit it feels like moving a pawn on a chessboard. But the grim reality of war is that it’s blood, guts, sacrifice, tears, loss, triumph of the human spirit, everything. Combat whips all of your emotions like nothing else, and if the reader doesn’t have that experience when they’re reading your story or when they’re reading a war memoir, then it’s either a lie or it’s just fucking fiction, which makes it a lie. … What’s funny about that is I feel like most of the feedback that I get for Outlaw Platoon is from women who have read the book and are like, “Oh my gosh, thank you for writing this book. I understand my husband a little bit more now, because he won’t express his vulnerabilities like you did in this book.” Read the entire interview here.

Last week, the First Lady made an official appearance at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington D.C. She wore a navy Jason Wu dress (Thanks to the Instagram account @melaniatrump.style for the tip!). The floor-length gown is perfect for in-between seasons. Wearing navy at a formal affair is a good way to stand out when so many (especially in DC) opt for basic black. Of course, there’s little chance she’d ever blend in! It also looks fantastic with late-summer sun-kissed skin and hair. Then, pair it with bold gemstone or silver jewelry and you’re ready Christmas parties! A similar Jason Wu dress retails at Saks for $2,995. Here are a few budget-friendly options: Halston Sleeveless High-Neck Fitted Ruching Gown for $495, Neiman Marcus Jessica Howard Sleeveless Evening Gown for $71.99, JC Penney Betsy & Adam Embellished-Top Cap Sleeve Gown for $142.99, Macy’s Ralph Lauren Lace-Trim Ruched Gown for $144, Macy’s   Mondays with Melania is a weekly feature that highlights what the First Lady is doing and wearing.

NBC

From NBC’s Chuck Todd, Mark Murray and Carrie Dann

FIRST READ: Tuesday’s special election in North Carolina could reveal clues about 2020

The last congressional race of 2018 is Tuesday’s do-over in North Carolina’s Ninth District – after the state discarded November’s results due to ballot-tampering accusations.

This NC-9 special election between Democrat Dan McCready and Republican Dan Bishop could let us know if the political winds are still blowing in the same direction they were last November, when Democrats ended up flipping 40 House seats and winning control of the chamber.

Or it could reveal if those winds have changed.

AP Photo/Alan Fram

A win by Bishop and the GOP – in a district that President Trump won by 12 points in 2016 – would keep the Republicans’ magic number of winning back the House next year at 18 seats.

Still, even a narrow Republican win should be a cause of concern, much like the special elections of 2018, since the Cook Political Report identifies more than 30 GOP-held House seats that are less Republican-leaning in nature than NC-9.

But a win by McCready and the Democrats – and observers view the contest as a coin flip – would not only raise the GOP’s magic number to 19 seats for 2020; it would also be a disastrous sign for Republicans.

Especially in a presidential battleground state like North Carolina, which also will host competitive Senate and gubernatorial contests in 2020.

And guess who’s headed to campaign for Bishop tonight – President Trump, who holds a rally in Fayetteville, N.C., at 7:00 pm ET after inspecting damage from Hurricane Dorian in the state.

Data Download: And the number of the day is … $294,000.

$294,000.

That’s the ad-spending advantage that Democrats enjoy over Republicans in the NC-9 special general election.

Overall, Dems have spent $6,845,359 over the TV and radio airwaves, per data from Advertising Analytics, while Republicans have spent $6,551,704.

But the McCready campaign has a 3-to-1 ad-spending edge over the Bishop campaign, $3.2 million to $1.1 million – which is consistent with what we saw in 2018.

Outside groups like the National Republican Congressional Committee and the Congressional Leadership Fund have propped up the GOP side.

Here are the top advertisers in NC-9:

McCready (D): $3.2 million
NRCC (R): $2.5 million
Congressional Leadership Fund (R): $2.0 million
DCCC (D): $1.3 million
Bishop (R): $1.1 million
House Majority Forward (D): $1.0 million

Sanford to challenge Trump in GOP primary – as South Carolina scraps its nominating contest

Former South Carolina Gov. and Congressman Mark Sanford said he’ll be jumping into the 2020 Republican presidential race, joining former Massachusetts Gov. Bill Weld and former Rep. Joe Walsh, R-Ill., who have already announced bids to challenge Trump next year.

But this comes after the South Carolina Republican Party’s executive committee voted to forgo its presidential primary next year – and Nevada, Kansas and Arizona have done/signaled the same.

(We’re old enough to remember when Trump was the one complaining about rigged Democratic primaries…)

And this morning, Trump tweeted about Sanford joining the race.

Pompeo dodges questions about a possible Senate run

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo certainly didn’t rule out a Kansas Senate bid for 2020. Check out the exchange on “Meet the Press” from yesterday:
 
TODD: So, okay, you could do the Sherman-esque deal. You could say, “If nominated, I will not serve,” all of that business. You have not done that. Why?

POMPEO: I’ve been pretty clear, Chuck. I think it’s unambiguous. Others want to speculate on my future a lot more than I do. As you can see from today, I’m incredibly focused on what I’m doing. It’s not just Hong Kong and Afghanistan. We’ve got opportunities all across the world. That’s what I’m focused on. And I intend to continue to do that so long as —

TODD: So you won’t —

POMPEO: — as long as President Trump asks me to be his secretary of state, this is what I intend to do —

TODD: You will not be on a ballot November of 2020?

POMPEO: This is what I’m going to do.

TODD: You will not be on a ballot —

POMPEO: As long as President Trump wants me to be his secretary of state.

2020 Vision: Polls galore

Over the weekend, we got the results of several new polls.
 
The national Washington Post/ABC poll among registered voters: Joe Biden 29 percent, Bernie Sanders 19 percent, Elizabeth Warren 18 percent, Kamala Harris 7 percent, Pete Buttigieg 4 percent, Beto O’Rourke 3 percent, Andrew Yang 3 percent, Tulsi Gabbard 2 percent and Amy Klobuchar 2 percent.
 
The CBS/YouGov poll of Iowa: Biden 29 percent, Sanders 26 percent, Warren 17 percent, Buttigieg 7 percent and Harris 6 percent.
 
The CBS/YouGov poll of New Hampshire: Warren 27 percent, Biden 26 percent, Sanders 25 percent, Buttgieg 8 percent, Harris 7 percent.
 
The CBS/YouGov poll of Nevada: Sanders 29 percent, Biden 27 percent, Warren 18 percent, Harris 6 percent and Buttigieg 4 percent.
 
The CBS/YouGov poll of South Carolina: Biden 43 percent, Sanders 18 percent, Warren 14 percent, Harris 7 percent and Buttigieg 4 percent.
 
By the way, it looks like Tom Steyer has qualified for October’s Dem debates after hitting 2 percent in the CBS/YouGov poll of Nevada.

On the campaign trail today: Bernie Sanders stumps in Iowa before heading to Denver for an 8:00 pm ET rally there… Julian Castro holds a rally in Houston… Joe Sestak is in Massachusetts and New Hampshire… And President Trump holds his rally in that NC-9 race at 7:00 pm ET.

Dispatches from NBC’s embeds: NBC’s Julia Jester and Amanda Golden sum up their most memorable observations from the 2020 candidate speeches at the New Hampshire state convention on Saturday:
Elizabeth Warren’s show of force both outside the arena and inside ahead of her speech – before which her campaign distributed “Win with Warren” thundersticks to the crowd – reflected her strong level of organization here on the ground. But the senator herself inspired a nearly two-minute standing ovation welcome and multiple big applause lines during her speech.Cory Booker impressed the crowd, earning a roaring reception with multiple standing ovations from the high-energy crowd – if any candidate gets a bump from their convention performance, Booker just might be the one.  

TWEET OF THE DAY: All of Me

THE LID: Mmmmm… this is a tasty burger!

Don’t miss the pod from Friday, when we took a look at all of those cheeseburger-climate questions at CNN’s town halls last Wednesday – and noted which 2020 candidates had the better answer.

ICYMI: News clips you shouldn’t miss 

Here’s what we know about the timeline of that scrapped secret Taliban meeting.

Freshmen Democrats who are holding out on impeachment are facing more and more pressure.

Kamala Harris is out with a new criminal justice plan.

A new Washington Post-ABC poll finds overwhelming support for new background check and ‘red flag’ laws.

Boris Johnson is struggling to hold on to power as yet more lawmakers call it quits.

Click here   Good morning,Thirty-three percent (33%) of voters nationwide favor a complete ban on the oil drilling process known as fracking. Forty-one percent (41%) are opposed,19% are not sure and 7% have never heard of fracking.A ban on fracking is supported by 36% of Democrats, 35% of Independents, and 28% of Republicans.The survey also found that49% mistakenly believe fracking is a new technology developed in the 21st century.61% recognize that if fracking is banned, the United States would again be dependent on imports from other countries to meet our energy requirements.59% understand that a ban on fracking would significantly increase the cost of gas and oil in the United States.56% are aware that fracking techniques provide a majority of all-natural gas and crude oil produced in the United States.Data released earlier showed that 38% of voters favor a proposal to ban all fossil fuel imports and exports such as oil and gas. Sixty-two percent (62%) are opposed.Fifty-eight percent (58%) of voters nationwide think it’s likely nuclear power plants could be developed to operate in a safe and environmentally friendly manner. However, opinions are mixed on whether we should actually build such plants.Looking at the political environment, 35% of voters trust Democrats more than Republicans on whatever they consider the most important voting issue. Just 28% place more trust in the GOP. Earlier in the year, opinion was fairly evenly divided between the two parties. The current 7-point advantage is the largest yet measured for the Democrats. It is similar to the advantage enjoyed by Democrats on the Generic Congressional Ballot.A big change from a month ago is that the Republican lead on economic issues has virtually disappeared. Just 31% now trust Republicans more than Democrats on economic matters while 29% trust the Democrats. Last month, the GOP led by double digits on this issue. Other recent survey data found a declining level of economic confidence.There’s been little change in the race for the Democratic presidential nomination. Joe Biden, Bernie Sanders, and Elizabeth Warren remain the top three candidates heading into round three of the debates.

Nor is he competent to be directing national security policy. It is with no glee that I say this because America is stuck with Trump unless we want to sacrifice our future to a Democrat disaster.

REALCLEARPOLITICS

09/09/2019 Share: Carl Cannon’s Morning Note Presented by Fisher Investments: Stormy Relations; Media War; Cleveland’s Girls By Carl M. Cannon on Sep 09, 2019 09:58 am Good morning, it’s Monday, Sept. 9, 2019. On this date in the last decade of the 19th century, a baby was born in the White House. The daughter of much admired 29-year-old first lady Frances Folsom Cleveland and 56-year-old President Grover Cleveland, the baby was named Esther. The little girl who would become Esther Cleveland Bosanquet lived until the summer Ronald Reagan was nominated for president. I’ll have more on the women in Cleveland’s life 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: * * * Why Can’t Republicans Deal with Hurricanes? Bill Scher ponders the track record of the three most recent GOP presidents when devastating storms have lashed the U.S. In Media War, It’s Trump vs. the Black Knight. Frank Miele weighs in on the absence of the daily White House press briefing. As New York Charters Turn 20, Let Good Schools Flourish. Steve Klinsky makes his case for the Sisulu-Walker Charter School of Harlem, and others like it, as they struggle against opposition from Mayor Bill de Blasio. The Values Economics Cannot Measure. Tim Kane alerts readers to an online survey he’s conducting — through today — on how people quantify what they value most in life.  Why Education Credentialing Needs Transparency. Jane Swift and Scott Cheney argue that more must be done to match prospective students with programs that meet the demands and priorities of the local labor market. Trump-Russia and Clinton-Libya: Tale of Two Probes. In RealClearInvestigations, Mark Hemingway reports that the FBI received records of two private investigations in mid-2016 but appears to have pursued only one seriously. Five Facts: Congress’ To-Do List. In RealClearPolicy, No Labels has this roundup of priorities on lawmakers’ plates this fall. Tobacco Harm Reduction: Applying Evidence to Policy. In RealClearHealth, Chelsea Boyd writes that minimizing the most harmful use patterns and associated behavior is a better goal than seeking total elimination of use.  * * * Grover Cleveland had known Frances Clara Folsom all her life when he married her in 1886. Her father had been Cleveland’s law partner and close friend in Buffalo, N.Y. It is not technically true, as some say, that Cleveland was her legal guardian, but it is true that after Oscar Folsom was killed in an 1875 carriage accident — two days after Frances turned 11 — that Cleveland became the executor of his former law partner’s estate. Cleveland was re-introduced to Frances in a March 1885 meeting at the White House. It was apparently an eye-opening encounter, and not only for the president. The young lady, recently graduated from college, was brought to see the newly installed president by her mother, Emma. The president was a bachelor, and not with a reputation for excess probity: A former sheriff, mayor of Buffalo, and governor of New York, he was known to have fathered a child out of wedlock before he came to Washington. (The baby, incidentally, was named Oscar Folsom Cleveland, after Frances’ father.) In any event, it was an awkward meeting when Oscar Folsom’s widow came with her daughter to the White House. Cleveland biographers believe that Emma had hopes of an alliance with the 48-year-old president. But when Cleveland began talking about his desire for marriage, he quickly made it clear that he was interested in 20-year-old Frances, not 44-year-old Emma. Whatever her feelings or thoughts may have been, Emma swallowed them. Frances was taken to Europe for a year of “finishing,” as it was then called. A year later, she was married in a private ceremony in the Blue Room of the White House. The wedding was limited to close friends — and to news correspondents and photographers — but curious crowds that gathered outside the executive mansion could see a house decorated with flowers and hear the faint strains of the Marine Band, which on that day was led by John Philip Sousa. After the ceremony had ended, church bells pealed throughout the city and boats on the Potomac River sounded their horns. Replacing Cleveland’s sister, who’d acted as first lady for the 15 months of his presidency, Frances Cleveland was an immediate sensation, becoming a national icon of beauty and fashion. She also became fodder for the media at a time when the “penny press” was still in its heyday. The tabloids, as we’d call them today, dubbed her “Frankie” (a foreshadowing of Jacqueline Kennedy’s newspaper nickname) and it was a name Frances Cleveland didn’t much like, even though she was called “Frank” inside her family. When the Clevelands returned to the White House after a four-year hiatus, this time with a little girl, Frances picked up where she left off. She soon had a second child — the one born on this date — and both daughters were fussed over the way John and Jacqueline Kennedy’s children would be seven decades later. American women also emulated Frances the way they would JFK’s glamorous wife. Long before they started wearing pillbox hats and telling their stylists they wanted to emulate Jackie Kennedy’s bouffant hair style, “Frankie” Cleveland’s hair and clothing were copied by an adoring female public, sometimes inexactly. (When a bogus news account claimed the first lady had stopped wearing bustle-type dresses, the market for bustles tanked.) Frances Cleveland hosted receptions on Saturdays for working-class women whose job schedules made it impossible to tour the White House on weekdays. She also made a point of greeting women workers when she visited factories, one of the many gestures that put her on magazine covers of the day. The fan mail that flooded into the White House became so voluminous that Frances hired a college friend named Minnie Alexander as her social secretary. Congress had not yet approved such expenditures, so Miss Alexander’s salary was paid by the first family. As for the child born on this date in 1893, she made her debut in New York society in 1914. After the United States entered World War I, Esther volunteered for war relief work in Europe and was assigned to London’s St. Dunstan’s Home for Blind Soldiers as a nurse. A dashing British Army officer named William Sidney Bence Bosanquet came courting, and unlike her mother, Esther fell for a man her own age. Bosanquet was a captain in the Coldstream Guards. They married in March of 1918, eight months before Armistice Day. As for Frankie, she was with her husband when he died in their New Jersey home in 1908. Five years later she remarried. Her second husband was a Princeton University professor less than two years her senior.   Carl M. Cannon   Washington Bureau chief, RealClearPolitics @CarlCannon (Twitter) ccannon@realclearpolitics.com For years, many pundits and politicians have claimed Internet behemoths are too powerful and monopolistic. Then, in June, the House announced they would launch a probe into several tech giants. Despite many possible outcomes, we don’t view these possibilities as a reason to avoid Tech now.

NATIONAL JOURNAL

What’s News NC-09: President Trump will headline a rally in Fayetteville Monday at 7 p.m. to boost turnout for state Sen. Dan Bishop (R) ahead of Tuesday’s special election. Marine veteran Dan McCready (D) “will also be in Fayetteville on Monday, knocking doors with veterans.” (Charlotte Observer) Outside groups have spent more than $10.7 million in the race, with that spending significantly boosting Bishop. (Center for Responsive Politics) Democratic-aligned House Majority Forward dropped $386,000 on TV ads Friday to boost McCready. (FEC) McCready and Bishop tied at 44 percent with 7 percent undecided in a poll by the firm co/efficient. The survey (Sept. 5-6; 1,175 LVs; +/- 3.85%) was conducted via text message and IVR. Trump’s job approval was underwater at 44/51. (release) KANSAS: Rep. Roger Marshall (R-01) launched his bid for the state’s open Senate seat Saturday at the Kansas State Fair. In his announcement, Marshall emphasized protecting the country from Democrats’ socialist agenda, as well as prioritizing the unborn, farmers, and building a wall on the southern border. (release) State Rep. Troy Waymaster (R) and NRA state director Travis Couture-Lovelady (R) both told Hotline they are considering running to succeed Marshall. Both said they are waiting on Secretary of State Mike Pompeo to make a final decision on whether he will run for Senate; Marshall has not said whether he would drop out of the Senate race if Pompeo runs. (Hotline reporting) REPUBLICANS: “Former South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford (R) announced” on Fox News Sunday “that he is running for president as a Republican, becoming the latest to challenge President Trump in the GOP primaries. Sanford said the Republican Party is facing an identity crisis, and he wants the GOP to take a look at itself and do some soul searching. … Sanford specifically made reference to the debt, deficit and government spending;” he “challenged Trump’s tactics when it comes to trade;” and he “brought up political culture, which he said has been ‘damaged’ by Trump.” (Fox News) MO GOV: Gov. Mike Parson (R) “announced his bid for a full four-year term on Sunday surrounded by hundreds of cheering supporters … in the Bolivar High School auditorium.” If he “secures the GOP’s nomination in August 2020 … he will likely face” state Auditor Nicole Galloway (D) “in the November 2020 general election. … His only GOP primary competition so far is state Rep. Jim Neely (R) who has far fewer resources and a lack of support from party insiders.” (St. Louis Post-Dispatch) MA SEN: A Boston Globe/Suffolk University poll (Sept. 3-5; 500 LVs; +/– 4.4%) found Rep. Joe Kennedy III (D-04) leading the five-person primary field by 9 points, with Sen. Ed Markey (D) securing 26 percent to Kennedy’s 35 percent. In a head-to-head, Kennedy’s lead over Markey grew to 42-28 percent. The survey showed he “would best Markey in every age group and across wide geographic swaths of the state.” (Boston Globe) CA-53: 2018 CA-49 candidate Sara Jacobs (D) announced a run Saturday for retiring Rep. Susan Davis’ (D) seat. In a video declaring her candidacy, Jacobs vowed to “fight for bold policy ideas like Medicare for All and a Green New Deal.” Jacobs, a nonprofit leader who worked for Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential and in the Obama State Department, is the granddaughter of QualComm founder Irwin Jacobs. (release) DEMOCRATS: Former Vice President Joe Biden led a Washington Post/ABC News national poll (Sept. 2-5; 391 RV; +/- 6%) of the presidential nomination fight with 29 percent, followed by Sens. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) and Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) with 19 and 18 percent, respectively. Trailing the top three was Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) with 7 percent, South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg (D) with 4 percent, and former Rep. Beto O’Rourke (D-TX) and entrepreneur Andrew Yang (D) with 3 percent. “Support for Biden and Sanders … has remained steady since the last Post-ABC survey, conducted in July. Warren, however, has gained ground.” (Washington Post). A CBS News/YouGov poll of the early voting states (Aug 28.-Sep. 4; 7,804 RVs; +/- 1.8%) found Biden leading in Iowa with 29 percent, followed by Sanders with 26 percent and Warren with 17 percent. In New Hampshire, Warren leads with 27 percent support, followed by Biden with 26 percent and Sanders with 25 percent. In South Carolina, Biden has a big lead, garnering 43 percent support. Sanders has 18 percent support and is followed by Warren with 14 percent. (CBS News)  GA SEN: Rep. Lucy McBath (D-06) “signaled Sunday that she hasn’t ruled out a bid” for retiring Sen. Johnny Isakson’s (R) seat, “telling the crowd at a town hall meeting in Sandy Springs that she’s ignoring the ‘chatter’ about her potential candidacy.” McBath, when asked directly whether she would commit to running for reelection to the House: “What I will tell you is that I’m invested in your future.” (Atlanta Journal-Constitution) ME-02: Former state Rep. Dale Crafts (R) said he’s “seriously considering” a run against Rep. Jared Golden (D) and will make a decision in the next two weeks. “Crafts has deep ties to Maine’s evangelical right. His cousin, former Maine Senate Majority Leader Garrett Mason, was a 2018 gubernatorial candidate.” Former LePage spokeswoman Adrienne Bennett (R) is another potential candidate. (Bangor Daily News) 2018 Senate nominee Eric Brakey (R) is also in the race. KY GOV: The RGA launched a TV ad Friday against state Attorney General Andy Beshear (D). The spot claims Beshear supports “the government takeover of healthcare” and “giving taxpayer-funded healthcare benefits to people who can work but choose not to.” (release)  LA GOV: Businessman Eddie Rispone (R) launched a 60-second statewide biographical TV ad Friday that introduces voters to his 24 grandchildren as he recounts his life in Louisiana. Rispone argues that the state’s “economy is the slowest in America. … Give me your vote and I will always give you my best to keep Louisiana the greatest place in the world to call home.” (release)     Hair of the Dog “Kiddie roller coaster stolen in Ohio” (UPI)   Our Call The Carolinas are in our minds this week for a few reasons. The coastline is beginning to recover from Hurricane Dorian; President Trump landed a primary challenger from Charleston; and two special elections Tuesday in North Carolina will give the House full occupancy for the first time this Congress. While the no-vacancy sign won’t hang long (thanks to Rep. Sean Duffy’s forthcoming resignation), we’re eagerly awaiting the results of what could be the best election indicator this year for what kind of environment awaits in 2020. It’s just one seat, but after a string of retirements Trump’s rally on the eve of the NC-09 election epitomizes how critical Republicans see a win there being on the party psyche. — Kyle Trygstad The GOP primary to succeed Roger Marshall in KS-01 is guaranteed to be crowded, given the rural seat’s deeply conservative character. But for the moment, potential candidates are handcuffed by Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, who is still in the mix for the Senate race. Marshall has yet to say whether he would drop out of the race should Pompeo run; two candidates who are exploring the race, state Rep. Troy Waymaster and NRA state director Travis Couture-Lovelady, told Hotline they are waiting to see how it develops but would not challenge Marshall in a primary. Assuming Marshall doesn’t leave the Senate race, there are upwards of three dozen state legislators and 52 counties worth of officials that could run. — Alex Clearfield Republicans could do a lot worse than former Burlington County Freeholder Kate Gibbs in NJ-03; she is the only serious candidate Republicans have 14 months from the election to challenge Democratic freshman Andy Kim. A Republican familiar with Gibbs’s plans told Hotline she is likely to form an exploratory committee in the near future, has no ties to Washington, is deeply connected in the state, and would garner some labor support. But she’s also coming off a 2018 loss for the county Board of Freeholders to a Democrat who had a  history of domestic violence and would be running under a GOP brand that is tainted in the upper-middle-class and affluent Philadelphia suburbs that carried Kim to victory. —  Alex Clearfield Fresh Brewed Buzz “‘Someone’s Gotta Tell the Freakin’ Truth’: Jerry Falwell’s Aides Break Their Silence” (Politico) “At a meeting last week with about 20 Democratic operatives and strategists,” DNC Chairman Tom Perez “said the plan is to ‘make it about [Trump’s] performance as president, not his bigotry or awfulness,’ according to one source in the room. ‘Prosecute the case that he is bad at his job and it is hurting people in real ways.’” (Axios) “The Secret Files of the Master of Modern Republican Gerrymandering” (New Yorker) Rosario Dawson, who is dating Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ), “clarified that she won’t be backing a specific [presidential] candidate in the upcoming election cycle despite her personal connection to one of the candidates. What really matters, she said, is getting people out to vote.” (Variety) Arizona GOP Chairwoman Kelli Ward “defended an email on Friday in which she had said the party would stop Mark Kelly, a Democrat running for United States Senate, ‘dead in his tracks.’” Kelly’s wife is former Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D), “whom a gunman shot in the head in 2011.” (New York Times) “Freshman Rep. Wild turns grief from partner’s suicide into a new purpose” (Washington Post) Entrepreneur Andrew Yang (D) “shared a video of himself crowd surfing through a packed room at the AAPI Democratic Presidential Forum in Costa Mesa, California, on Sunday.” (CNN) Louisiana Gov. John Bel Edwards (D) “hosted the Little League World Champions and gave them a world class treat – the ONLY Popeye’s Spicy Chicken Sandwiches in the world.” (Twitter) “Is It Really A Three-Candidate Race?” (FiveThirtyEight) “I don’t want him to drown out 230 years of the American experiment, you know? But you have to account for him.” — UMass-Boston political science professor Maurice Cunningham, on substantially revising his syllabus for the first time since the Clinton administration in response to Trump. (Bloomberg) “How 2020 Democrats Would End the HIV Epidemic” (Daily Beast) Tennessee state Rep. Rick Tillis (R), the majority whip, “has resigned from House leadership” following “ scrutiny for his alleged role in an anonymous Twitter account that attacked his fellow Republicans.” (Nashville Tennessean) “Biden Wants to Work With ‘the Other Side.’ This Supreme Court Battle Explains Why.” (New York Times) “As the number of dairy farms nationwide has plummeted by nearly 20,000 over the past decade, there’s one corner of the industry doing just fine: The top executives at Dairy Management Inc., who are paid from farmers’ milk checks.” (Des Moines Register) Rooster’s Crow The House is in at 2 p.m. The Senate is in at 3 p.m.  Trump presents the Medal of Valor and Heroic Commendations at 11 a.m. He speaks at a Keep America Great rally in Fayetteville, NC at 7 p.m. Swizzle Challenge Two presidents have written biographies of their predecessors. Herbert Hoover authored The Ordeal of Woodrow Wilson andGeorge W. Bush wrote a biography on his father.  Carten Cordell won Friday’s challenge. Here’s his challenge: What actor, whose roles have included a philandering detective, an adult entertainment magnate, a serial killer and professional bowler, was college classmates with Vice President Mike Pence?  The 3rd correct email gets to submit the next question. Editor’s Note: Friday’s Swizzle Challenge incorrectly stated that only one president has written a biography of one of his predecessors.    Early Bird Special Kraushaar: Trumpism Will Last Long After Trump Leaves Washington Pentagon’s Cloud Delays Could Short-Circuit AI Plans Explosion of State Tech Efforts Reveals Declining Deference Toward Feds Outlook: Congress Returns for Work on Climate, Guns, Appropriations Shot… “Internal Kamala Harris document acknowledges ‘Summer Slump'” (Politico)  Chaser… “I’m not declining.
