Dodging A Shutdown, Russia Warns U.S. in Syria, NYT on the Hot Seat
Jim Geraghty of National Review and Greg Corombos of Radio America welcome another good jobs report and President Trump's desire to avoid a government shutdown right before the midterm elections. They also wonder why very few people are discussing Russia threatening to use force near U.S. troops in Syria and accusing us of protecting militias hostile to the Assad regime. And as dozens of top Trump administration officials deny writing the anonymous op-ed in the New York Times, they discuss the immense damage the Times will do to its own reputation if the author turns our to be a figure few people have heard of.
