AirTalk’s weekly political roundtable recaps the major headlines you might’ve missed in politics news over the weekend and looks ahead to the week to come. Here are the headlines what we’re following this week: 

• On Sunday, President Trump tweeted that “the squad” -- the four progressive freshmen Representatives Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ilhan Omar, Ayanna Pressley and Rashida Tlaib -- should “go back” to the countries they came from. After backlash, he doubled down on his statement. What should be the repercussions for the President? How should Dems respond? What about Trump’s own party? 

• The White House is working on a new rule that would curb asylum protections for many of the migrants coming to the U.S. from Central America 

• President Trump threatened immigration raids, but they weren’t as large scale as expected

• Secretary of Labor Alexander Acosta resigned over his plea deal with Jeffrey Epstein

• 2020 check-in:

  • Swalwell was the first major Dem to drop out of the race. How and why does a candidate choose to drop out? Who else will follow?     

  • Plus, billionaire Tom Steyer has thrown his hat into the ring 

  • Even though Warren and Sanders are quite similar ideologically, their voters are completely different 

  • Biden laid out his foreign policy vision, as well as his healthcare plan, which some have pointed out looks a whole lot like the ACA 

  • Sanders’ aides urge him to get more personal to distinguish himself as a candidate 

• There’s continued infighting between House Speaker Pelosi and the “squad,” although after Trump’s controversial weekend tweet, Pelosi came out to defend the four women 

• Plus, a recent piece in the Washington Post argues that the reason older Dems compromise is because of the Reagan era 

• On Friday, the House voted to restrict President Trump’s capacity to authorize a military strike in Iran

• Retired former House speaker Paul Ryan has publicly criticized Trump 

• California is floating a bill that would force Trump and all presidential candidates who want to see their names on the state’s 2020 primary ballot to turn in the last 5 years of their tax returns
