61,000 unaccompanied kids who have arrived at the Mexican border are upsetting the plans of both Democrats and Republicans. Members of Congress, about to go home for the August recess, are bracing for town halls full of emotional constituents with competing points of view. Before they leave, can House Republicans pass a bill that looks like it deals with the problem? Will the President help Democrats or hurt them if he takes executive action? What’s at stake for the mid-term elections and the presidential race in 2016?
Also, fighting continues in Gaza, and the NCAA and brain damage in athletes.
