Debbie Wasserman Schultz blasted President Trump Tuesday morning, a day after he fired acting Attorney General Sally Yates for what the White House called “refusing to enforce a legal order designed to protect the citizens of the United States.” “I think it’s important to note that she did exactly what she said she would do […]

Washington became the first state to sue the Trump administration with a filing Monday over the president’s executive order restricting refugees and immigration.
