Underreported: Nonprofit Helping Homeless Forced to Choose Between Government Funding and Its Drug-Free Policy

May 22, 2017
Good morning from Washington, where the Trump administration will release a long-term budget proposal while the president is on his trip to the Middle East and Europe. Fred Lucas reports on why Medicaid reform is expected to be part of that plan, and highlights Trump's speech to Arab leaders calling for the defeat of radical Islam's "foot soldiers of evil." You won't believe why the government denies funds to a program aiding homeless families. Watch Kelsey Harkness' video. Plus: a court order undoing that registry of drone owners, and a bill to restore sensible financial regulations.
