Trump had a bad week. Fox News polling suggests things are going to get worse.
The president’s own party might finally be willing to hold him to account.

If Donald Trump was really "America first," he'd stop billionaire corporations from cheating the U.S. government out of taxes.
Instead, he's adding tax loopholes to let them off the hook and raising costs for everyone else.

Covering Jamal Khashoggi's murder was one of the most disturbing things I've worked on. Hearing Trump say he was "extremely controversial" and people "didn't like him" is chilling. Hard to take any other way than he thinks there is moral ambiguity in the murder of a journalist.
