Subscribe to it here.A preview for what's to come?Former Republican National Committee chair Michael Steele has warned voters what to expect from President Donald Trump in the run-up to the 2020 election.And in light of Trump’s controversial claim that Jewish Americans who vote for Democrats are disloyal or uninformed, Steele predicted the president’s tactics and rhetoric will be “in stark contrast to what we saw in 2016.”“As abhorrent and disrespecting as it is, we need to just settle in because this is just the warmup of what will be a series of narratives created by the president around particular interest groups,” Steele said on Tuesday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “Hardball with Chris Matthews.”“When you sit down and you say this about the Jewish community, then what about African Americans, what about Hispanics, how they vote?” he added.On Wednesday, Trump doubled down on his anti-Semitic attacks against Jewish Democrats, claiming anyone who votes for a Democrat is “disloyal” to Israel and the Jewish people.“If you vote for a Democrat, you’re being disloyal to Jewish people and you’re being very disloyal to Israel,” the president told reporters outside the White House. “Only weak people would say anything other than that.”  WHAT ELSE IS HAPPENING?The Trump administration on Wednesday announced new rules that would allow immigration officials to detain migrant children for a longer period of time, ripping up a long-standing set of protections that prevent migrant children from being detained for more than 20 days.Sen. Bernie Sanders, a leading candidate for the Democratic Party’s 2020 presidential nomination, rolled out a sweeping plan to expand the rights of workers and unions, including giving federal employees the right to strike, making it easier to form unions, eliminating so-called right-to-work laws and allowing unions in the same industry to jointly negotiate with employers.Anthony Scaramucci said he’s forming a political action committee to run ads against Trump. The ex-White House communications director ― who infamously lasted just 10 days in the role in 2017 ― claims he can eat into the president’s support by more than enough to cost him the 2020 presidential election.
