Presidential Politics and Family History Bill Clinton staked out the political center, appealing to undecided voters and even Republicans. Hillary’s going the other direction. Saturday, in the first major policy speech of her presidential campaign, Hillary Clinton talked about income inequality and education, saying GOP hopefuls "believe in yesterday." Can the former Secretary of State, US Senator and First Lady bring out the base of her own party, including blacks and Latinos?

Who's to blame for the opioid crisis? Some of the lawyers who took on Big Tobacco are now going after Big Pharma. It’s all about the deadly epidemic of opioid use. Are the drug companies to blame? What about the users? Later, on today’s Talking Point: making sense of Britain’s upset election.
