Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” Sen. Adam Schiff (D-CA) said President Donald Trump was “absolutely not” following the War Powers Act. Host Kristen Welker said, “President Trump, as you know, sent a letter to Congress arguing he does not need congressional approval because the ceasefire paused the clock effectively. Do you think the administration is following the law?” Schiff said, “No. Absolutely not. And it’s important to recognize that this war was unlawful, unconstitutional from the start.

Horrific images of women apparently stripped naked and molested on the street by hordes of men during a “fertility festival” in Nigeria prompted outrage globally this weekend — but when the incidents occurred, local Nigerian leaders justified the festival as a traditional practice and chided women for being outside at all.

Host Jake Tapper said, “You are a progressive icon. But now you are expressing some reservations about where the progressive movement has gone. Tell us more.” Frank said, “Yeah, I, you know, I’ve been trying to decide, by the way, personally, whether it’s better to be an icon or an emoji. I haven’t decided that yet. But then, as far as that is concerned, it’s precisely because I have been on the…
