• Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) said Sunday that he supports President Obama’s decision to keep troops in Afghanistan, prolonging the war beyond 2016. Democratic presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton also said Friday that she thought Obama had made “the right decision.”

• On Sunday, Donald Trump continued to hammer former Jeb Bush for repeatedly saying that his brother George W. Bush “kept us safe” despite 9/11 happening on his watch. Others have pointed out that wars and the response to Hurricane Katrina, also did not keep the country safe.

• House Republicans return to Washington this week to confront a nearly unprecedented leadership crisis, looming budget deadlines and a deeply uncertain future. Attention is focused on Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) who is under pressure from party leaders to run for House speaker.
