The administration is seeking to undermine or discard research showing the most dire risks of inaction on climate change.
| | | May 28, 2019 | Morning Edition | | | | Good Tuesday morning, and welcome back after the long weekend. Here are some of the stories making news in Washington and politics today. | |
| _____________________ | | • President Trump has rolled back environmental regulations, pulled the United States out of the Paris accord and turned the term “global warming” into a punch line. His administration is now seeking to undermine or discard research showing the most dire risks of inaction on climate change. | | • The Democratic 2020 field is set, and beneath the surface of a seemingly placid race is a much more volatile contest — a series of primaries-within-the-primary along lines of race, gender, age and ideology. | | • Senator Bernie Sanders returned to his home state of Vermont for the first time since he declared that he was running for president, no longer leading in the polls but still displaying his uncompromisingly liberal defiance. (Here is a fact-check of some of Mr. Sanders’s remarks on the campaign trail.) | | • Stuck in the polls and contending with a loaded Democratic field, Senator Cory Booker is focusing his efforts in Iowa and trying to expand the conversation around the primary. | | | | • Joe Biden is “sleepy,” Mr. Sanders is “crazy” and Senator Elizabeth Warren is “angry.” Here are the insults Mr. Trump has hurled at his potential 2020 rivals. | | • The president has long waged a Twitter war against the intelligence community, to little actual effect. But his new attorney general is poised to professionalize the fight. | | • Iranian officials lashed out at the United States after the Trump administration said it would allow the sale of weapons to Saudi Arabia, leveling a threat of “two new secret weapons.” | | • Sarah Huckabee Sanders said on Sunday that Mr. Trump and the North Korean leader, Kim Jong-un, “agree” in their negative assessment of Mr. Biden. | | | | • Senator Tom Udall, a veteran New Mexico Democrat, wants to have a greater impact on climate change, war powers and a comprehensive electoral overhaul. That’s why he’s retiring from the Senate. | | • A fight over a gun control law in New York City is headed to the Supreme Court, the first Second Amendment case before the court in a decade. Now the city is trying to change the regulation, hoping that the case will be dismissed. | | • Navy pilots said they saw the strange devices almost daily, zipping through the skies but emitting no exhaust. The Navy sent out new classified guidance for how to report what the military calls unexplained aerial phenomena — or unidentified flying objects. | | _____________________ | | Were you forwarded this newsletter?
