Good morning from Washington, where President Trump surprises critics and friends alike by suggesting his openness to an immigration deal in a nationally televised huddle with lawmakers. Fred Lucas reports on that and the wonders tax reform is doing for minimum wages. The president sure didn't come off as mentally unfit as Democrat foes claim under the 25th Amendment, which Jarrett Stepman explores. The sponsor of a local right-to-work bill blames union pressure for its failure. Kevin Mooney has the story.

A professor at California State University, Fullerton assaulted a member of the school's Republican club during a demonstration against President Trump's executive order on immigration.
If President Trump and lawmakers really want to stop illegal immigration, here's what to do: Expand the number of ICE officers, push back on sanctuary cities, expedite deportations, and increase the efficiency and number of immigration courts.
The 25th Amendment was never conceived of as a partisan tool to depose a hated president.
Past proposals for "comprehensive" reform have included amnesty, or what advocates call a "pathway to citizenship" for the 11 million or more illegal immigrants in the United States.
Not only is Google's fact-checking highly partisan—perhaps reflecting the sentiments of its leaders—it is also blatantly wrong, asserting sites made "claims" they demonstrably never made.
"Today, the Sussex County Council made a decision based on fear of litigation," bill sponsor Rob Arlett tells The Daily Signal. "I'm encouraged by the outpouring of support from the business community. I'm disappointed the council decided to uphold the status quo."
Twenty-one companies have announced raising their minimum wage to $15 per hour because of tax reform.
The Daily Signal is brought to you by more than half a million members of The Heritage Foundation.
