North Korea strategy, Steve Mnuchin, and the ISIS fight
North Korea strategy
The full Senate was briefed yesterday on the threat posed by North Korea, and the Trump administration emphasized that the president's approach prioritizes diplomacy and economic pressure over military options. But one Democratic Senator said after the "sobering briefing" that it was clear how much thought and planning is going into preparing military options, should diplomacy fail.
Money man
President Trump says his tax plan is going to put people back to work, but a lot of important details were missing from the one-page blueprint presented by the administration yesterday. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin answers questions on "CBS This Morning" about the plan he says will be all about economic growth and American jobs.
Faith in the fight
Positive views on America's fight against ISIS are now at their highest levels since CBS News began measuring them with a poll in 2014. The figures are propelled by Republicans whose views have undergone a sharp upturn with President Trump in office. Independents are also more positive now than they were under President Obama.
No winners?
One of the most arresting aspects of the start of the Trump era, Will Rahn writes, is that nearly everyone, regardless of political persuasion, seems convinced their side is losing. Rahn explains why virtually everyone in the political mainstream seems to have a sense that they've somehow already lost -- that some past battle has already decided the war's outcome in our opponents' favor.

Robot jobs
