President Donald Trump verbally attacked Rep. Thomas Massie Wednesday, ahead of campaign stops in Kentucky and Ohio. Trump posted that Massie would "go down as the WORST Republican Congressman," in congressional history, worse than Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger.

'Little choice but to bend': Analyst says top Trump ally's fight is neutering Mike Johnson

Trump snub at Cheney memorial keeps Republicans away 'out of fear of angering' him: report

In a time of deep partisan divisions, Thursday's memorial service for former Vice President Dick Cheney will be revealing — not for who does show up, but for who does not, reports Peter Baker in The New York Times.

Cheney, who died earlier in November at the age of 84, was the architect of America's "aggressive response to terrorism" after September 11, 2001, and then "championed the invasion of Iraq, making him a hero to Republicans and a villain to many Democrats who thought he went too far," Baker writes.
