Republican Senators and Congressmen who are up for reelection are trying to side more with Trump and show their support for him. This is so he will campaign for them and so that they wouldn't be at the other end of one of his famous insulting tweets. Even some Democrats in states who Trump won are trying to show how they support him (think our Senator Tester here in MT) Politicians and commentators believe that getting Trump's support will mean more republicans will get out and vote in the midterms when turnout is typically low. Typically midterms elections help the party out of power pick up more seats. I can explain this more in practice because I have lots to say on this. But here is a good resource to look at and you can look at the House and Senate forecast and it breaks it down further.

This cartoon is making fun of the amount of protesters that were protesting in Washington D.C. against the nomination of Brett Kavanaugh to the supreme court. Lots of young people showed up and many women were protesting this nomination. The protests were peaceful but were a bit rowdy in terms of making noise and making senators, bystanders and the media take notice of them.

Nikki Haley was the Ambassador to the United Nations (UN). She surprisingly announced her resignation yesterday with Trump praising her and she was praising him. It was the most cordial of all of the resignations from Trump's cabinet thus far. This is depicting how she took this job for political gain since she was just the senator of South Carolina before this so when she runs for higher office she can list foreign policy some of her accomplishments as well. She was also very against Trump during the election (she supported Marco Rubio then Ted Cruz) and is seen as a more moderate republican. Here is some information on her legacy at the UN. Here is some information on her departure.

This is making fun of a theory that Kanye West (yes the Kanye West that is a rapper and married to Kim Kardashian) may replace Nikki Haley as UN Ambassador. This is because Kanye had an ending monologue on SNL this past weekend praising Trump and wearing the signature red MAGA hat. He is also supposed to meet with the president sometime this week. Wouldn't that make politics even more interesting than what they are now. Here is some info from Twitter on that long shot possibility.

This is about Elizabeth Warren releasing her DNA test that shows she was between 1/32 to 1/1024 Native American. She claimed she was Native American when she applied for a job at Harvard and it is said that she benefited from saying she was a minority. President Trump often would attack her on this, calling her "Pocahontas." Most Americans have that much Native American ancestry if not more. The Cherokee Nation has condoned her use of a DNA to show her heritage.
