Giuliani Asserts: "Truth Isn't Truth"
The former mayor of New York, who is now the most public face of the President’s legal team, was interviewed by NBC’s Chuck Todd on Meet the Press on Sunday. It did not go well, especially when Giuliani spoke about the notorious Trump Tower meeting of June 9th, 2016 between a group of Russians, led by Natalia Veselnitskaya, and top members of the Trump campaign, including Donald Trump Jr., Jared Kushner, and Paul Manafort. Giuliani flatly asserted, Veselnitskaya “didn’t represent the Russian government. She’s a private citizen. I don’t even know if they knew she was Russian at the time.

Remains from a U.S. Navy destroyer badly damaged by a sea mine was discovered last month by a government-funded scientific team.

Did Matt Lauer Spark New Zealand's Ban On Foreign Homebuyers?
The backlash against Matt Lauer in New Zealand is so strong he is being blamed for the ban on foreign homebuyers.

Self-described "ass-kicking, motorcycle-riding, Texas Democrat" MJ Hegar, a candidate for Texas’ deep-red 31st District, has a novel approach to environmental politics: she doesn’t care if her supporters believe in man-made climate change, but says it's hard to deny the corrupting effects of petroleum dependence on American foreign policy.

Dems To Challenge Kavanaugh For WH Records
Access to paperwork from Brett Kavanaugh’s years as a White House lawyer and staff secretary for Bush has become a lightning rod in the nomination fight.

C-Span Caller Unleashes Racist Rant About Barack Obama On Air
C-SPAN bleeped the audio of a caller who phoned in to use a racial slur and call for the death of former President Barack Obama on Sunday.

'Great Divider In Chief': Gov. Cuomo Continues War Of Words
Cuomo said his feud with the president "is not just politics as usual." "This debate we’re having with the president is really about the country we want to be. This is about our values, our beliefs, our character," Cuomo said. "It is a frightening portrait." “Trump’s America is one of division and intolerance,” Cuomo continued. Cuomo came under fire last week after doing a riff on Trump’s "Make America Great Again" slogan during a bill signing ceremony. "We’re not going to make America great again. It was never that great," Cuomo said. "We have not reached greatness. We will reach greatness when every American is fully engaged." ABC

GOP's Strong Local Brands Will Block 'Blue Wave'
College football season is nearly here. While fans look toward the season optimistic about their team’s chances of success, at the end of the day, the same traditional powerhouses will most likely face off in the college football championship.

GOP Lawmaker Doesn't Care If President Used N-Word
Michael Williams, a Republican state senator from Georgia, went on TV Saturday morning and declared that he would be upset if Donald Trump spewed racial slurs. That may seem simple enough, but apparently, it’s actually quite complicated. Williams, you see, went on to explain that while he would object if Donald Trump—the individual—used the N-word, he couldn’t care less if Donald Trump—the president—used the N-word before becoming president. Mother Jones
VOA VIEW: Makes sense.

We Might Be Able To Contact NASA's Opportunity Rover Soon
NASA’s Opportunity rover has been exploring the surface of Mars for more than a decade, but the past few months have presented its greatest challenge yet.

Zephyr Teachout, the would-be next attorney general of New York, sits tight against the desk in the former doctor’s office she’s using for her campaign headquarters, her very pregnant belly barely visible above the desk’s metal top.

She lays out precisely how she could, if elected, use her office put Donald Trump in prison. Politico
VOA VIEW: Tachout is nuts.

'Men Are Disposable': Giuliani's
In his four months as one of President Donald Trump’s personal attorneys, the former New York City mayor has blitzed media green rooms, befuddled legal experts and caused headaches for the White House. Even Trump once told reporters Giuliani would “get his facts straight” eventually. Politico

Record Number Of Women Have Won Major Party Primaries
Women are not just running for office in record numbers this year — they are winning.

Some of these candidates could also play a pivotal role in whether Democrats are able to take control of the U.S. House. US News
