Trump’s Abrupt ‘Yes’ to North Korea: The 45 Minutes That Could Alter History

The Man Who Knew Too Little

GLOUSTER, Ohio — At first, the experiment didn’t have a name. Right after the election, Erik Hagerman decided he’d take a break from reading about the hoopla of politics. Donald Trump’s victory shook him. Badly. And so Mr. Hagerman developed his own eccentric experiment, one that was part silent protest, part coping mechanism, part extreme self-care plan. He swore that he would avoid learning about anything that happened to America after Nov. 8, 2016. “It was draconian and complete,”…

Trump’s Military Parade Plans Come Into Focus: Planes, but No Tanks

The parade will also “highlight the evolution of women veterans from separate formations in World War II to today’s integrated formations,” the memo says. It will close with a “heavy air component,” which officials hope will include older planes. Why no tanks? “Consideration must be given to minimize damage to local infrastructure,” the memo notes, adding that there will be “wheeled vehicles only.” The details come more than a year after Mr. Trump first signaled interest in the possibility…

Charles Campion, Campaign Adviser to Democrats, Dies at 62

“I would say the political fundamentals which he learned on the streets of Boston, he was still applying in the streets of Michigan for Hillary Clinton in 2016,” said Senator Edward J. Markey, Democrat of Massachusetts, a close friend who was advised by Mr. Campion. “Chuck’s philosophy was that the message should be direct, simple and to the heart of the issue.” Mr. Campion came up in Massachusetts politics as a member of Gov.

AT&T Backs Off Political Argument in Antitrust Case

Noticeably absent in AT&T’s filing was an earlier argument it had made: that the government singled out the company’s deal because of presidential politics. President Trump was a vocal critic of the deal during his presidential campaign, and while in office, he has consistently blamed CNN, a channel owned by Turner and part of Time Warner’s television business, for unfair coverage of his administration. AT&T originally argued to the court that the Justice Department’s suit was a case of…
