Trump: The Antithesis of a Boy Scout

“As a man who spent some very formative years in the Boy Scouts, I found Donald Trump’s speech to the national jamboree nauseating,” a reader says.

Trump has no relationship to Scouting.
Hollywood did it better.

‘The Daily’: Jared Kushner Speaks

What we learned from the president’s son-in-law on Monday. Plus: what Betsy DeVos plans to do about sexual assault on college campuses.

‘The Daily’: On the Senate Floor

After the dramatic return of John McCain, the Senate narrowly agrees to begin work on repealing Obamacare — then votes down a plan to do exactly that.
