Good afternoon. Here's what's happening with President Trump's agenda.
After receiving criticism for his initial response to the deadly violence in Charlottesville, Va., and delivering a carefully considered condemnation of white supremacy groups, President Trump again blamed "both sides" of a conflict that pitted the Ku Klux Klan and neo-Nazis against anti-white supremacy protestors and radical activists known as antifa.
Next came a C.E.O. rebellion within the president's advisory councils, and the removal of monuments that celebrate controversial Civil War figures from public grounds.
President Trump has settled on a new strategy to carry on the nearly 16-year-old conflict in Afghanistan, likely opening the door to the deployment of several thousand troops.

During a shouting-match of a news conference, an angry president asserted that "alt-left" activists in Charlottesville were as much to blame as neo-Nazis.
Steve Bannon once said it was the platform for the alt-right. Its current editors disagree. Is the incendiary media company at the nerve center of Donald Trump's America simply provocative — or dangerous?
President Trump wrongly suggested, again, that Amazon does not pay taxes. The company paid $412 million last year and collects sales taxes in all states that levy them.
