Donald Trump finally has an official position on abortion, and his official position is exactly the kind of lying, incoherent, inconsistent, nonsensical ridiculousness you’d expect from him. Trump released a nearly five-minute video Monday, in which he profusely praises himself for ending Roe v.

WASHINGTON — Conservative Republicans in the Senate were cagey Tuesday as they were asked to delve into the chaos going on among the Republican House colleagues.Rep.
