Inside Trump Nation

Donald Trump had a rough week. His campaign manager was charged with misdemeanor battery; a poll showed him trailing in Wisconsin; and there was the fracas over his abortion comments. One GOP strategist says Trump’s “renegade campaign” is coming back to bite him, but the critics have a bad track record at predicting his demise. So who are Trump’s supporters? Political cartoonist David Horsey attended a Trump rally in Arizona and offers this illustrated snapshot.

‘Economic Justice’ or a ‘Death Sentence’?

Gov. Jerry Brown plans to put his signature Monday on a deal to raise the minimum wage to $15 an hour over the next six years. The voting for the measure among state lawmakers played along party lines, with Democrats hailing it as a boost for the little guy and Republicans predicting that same little guy might not even have a job now. How do you think it will affect you? Tell us here.

China’s Censorship Is [Censored]

A number of prominent figures in China have been complaining there’s too much censorship under President Xi Jinping’s administration. The response: Their comments have been censored, or worse.

Call it a “pivot” or a “rebalance.” Either way, President Obama’s emphasis on Asia and the Pacific Rim has been one of the most significant foreign policy shifts for a long time, affecting everything from trade to security. It’s also been dominated by crisis: North Korea, tension in the South China Sea and cyberattacks, to name a few. Take a look at what’s happened so far and how it could change under the next president.

A Starchitect for Our Time

She was known as the “Queen of the Curve” for designing buildings that avoided sharp angles and corners, even if some of her comments could be hard-edged. Iraqi-born Zaha Hadid — the first woman to win architecture’s highest honor, the Pritzker Prize — has died. As for her legacy, Times critic Christopher Hawthorne says you could make a case Hadid was “the single most important figure in the field over the last quarter-century, not just the most important female one.” See some of her work here.
