					<description><![CDATA[They are young and old: a high school student who can&#8217;t yet vote, a Vietnam vet who did so proudly. They hail from all corners of the United States and very different walks of life: a &#8220;downhome boy&#8221; from Kentucky, a third-generation Mexican-American from Texas, a stay-at-home mom in Pennsylvania, an Iranian immigrant in Los Angeles. Some oppose Donald Trump and all that he stands for, while others voted enthusiastically for him. Now, they are critiquing him. One hundred days&#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[After weeks on the defensive, President Donald Trump has stepped up his efforts to dispute, downplay and distract from revelations stemming from the investigations into the Kremlin&#8217;s interference in last year&#8217;s election and possible Russian ties to his campaign associates. The White House says the real story is not about Russia — it&#8217;s about how Obama administration officials allegedly leaked and mishandled classified material about Americans. Trump and his aides have accused former officials of inappropriately disclosing — or &#8220;unmasking&#8221;&#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[President Donald Trump&#8216;s former campaign chairman, Paul Manafort, secretly worked for a Russian billionaire to advance the interests of Russian President Vladimir Putin a decade ago and proposed an ambitious political strategy to undermine anti-Russian opposition across former Soviet republics, The Associated Press has learned. The work appears to contradict assertions by the Trump administration and Manafort himself that he never worked for Russian interests. Manafort proposed in a confidential strategy plan as early as June 2005 that he would&#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[It was an ugly, highly personal presidential election. An unvarnished celebrity outsider who pledged to represent the forgotten laborer took on an intellectual member of the Washington establishment looking to extend a political dynasty in the White House. Andrew Jackson&#8216;s triumph in 1828 over President John Quincy Adams bears striking similarities to Donald Trump&#8216;s victory over Hillary Clinton last year, and some of those most eager to point that out are in the Trump White House. Trump&#8217;s team has seized&#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Teachers from elementary school through college are telling students how to distinguish between factual and fictional news — and why they should care that there&#8217;s a difference. As Facebook works with The Associated Press, FactCheck.org and other organizations to curb the spread of fake and misleading news on its influential network, teachers say classroom instruction can play a role in deflating the kind of &#8220;Pope endorses Trump&#8221; headlines that muddied the waters during the 2016 presidential campaign. &#8220;I think only&#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[President Donald Trump&#8216;s assertion that the media often fails to cover terrorist attacks is false, but he&#8217;s hardly alone in making the claim. The statement is just the latest by Trump to echo a website known for trafficking in dubious allegations of plots and cover-ups. &#8220;You&#8217;ve seen what happened in Paris and Nice. All over Europe it&#8217;s happening. It&#8217;s gotten to a point where it&#8217;s not even being reported. And in many cases, the very, very dishonest press doesn&#8217;t want&#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[A man who President Donald Trump has promoted as an authority on voter fraud was registered to vote in multiple states during the 2016 presidential election, the Associated Press has learned. Gregg Phillips, whose unsubstantiated claim that the election was marred by 3 million illegal votes was tweeted by the president, was listed on the rolls in Alabama, Texas and Mississippi, according to voting records and election officials in those states. He voted only in Alabama in November, records show.&#8230;]]></description>
