North Korea Crosses a Line — This Time, it’s the Border Kim Jong-Un of North Korea and Moon Jae-In of South Korean had a historic meeting where they set big goals for peace and denuclearization. The meeting was big on drama and scant on details. Donald Trump and French President Emmanuel Macron deepen their bromance during a state visit in Washington, and we need to talk about Kanye and dragon energy.

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? Also today, Republican Jeb Bush is formally declaring his candidacy -- with new branding that drops his last name. Can a Clinton or a Bush meet the challenge of voters who might be looking for something new?
To the Point
Come for the Clintons, Stay for Obama…Please In the closest primary race in history, Hillary Clinton almost became the first woman presidential nominee of a major American party. She and her supporters have since made it clear they're not going away, and there were signs of possible trouble if her name was not placed in nomination at the Democratic convention . The Obama campaign said today, it will . She already was scheduled to speak on Tuesday—with Bill Clinton on Wednesday—the same night as the vice presidential nominee. Is this evidence that Hillary is the choice for the second spot or is it proof that she's not? In either case, will the Clintons still dominate the show? This comes amid revelations about Clinton's primary strategy against Obama, which appears to have been adopted by John McCain . What are the prospects for party unity?

As migrants arrive in Tijuana, some see a threat and others work to help Migrant caravans have been traveling north through Mexico for years. But the most recent group of Central Americans is different, in large part because president Trump made it a central issue in the midterm campaign. But it’s also getting a lot of coverage in Mexico. And much of the local coverage is negative. But one woman is trying to help.
