The day's most important stories
 
 
Conway 'counseled' for touting Ivanka Trump's products, White House says
White House press secretary Sean Spicer did not elaborate on the counseling, but experts have said Kellyanne Conway may have broken a key ethics rule Thursday morning when she told TV audiences to "go buy Ivanka's stuff."
Trump lashes out at senator who revealed Supreme Court nominee's comments
Without providing evidence, President Trump claimed that Sen. Richard Blumenthal had misrepresented comments by Judge Neil Gorsuch, who called Trump's attacks on the federal judiciary "demoralizing." Blumenthal said Gorsuch's comments were made during a private meeting, and the account was confirmed by a second person.
 
John McCain’s brutal rejoinder to Sean Spicer
The senator from Arizona played nice when candidate Trump questioned his war-hero status. He doesn't have to anymore.
 
Have liberals found their combative new leader in . . . Keith Olbermann?
The former MSNBC host recasts his fire-breathing punditry for the Web, to bring the fight to Trump. "More people are paying attention to my message at the moment than they would be if I were some other host on MSNBC or CNN," he said.

Spicer claims he 'clearly meant Orlando' after citing mystery Atlanta attack three times

The Alabama governor appointed Strange to fill the seat, which Strange could hold for many years if he wins the 2018 Senate race.
 
HHS nominee Tom Price is member of group that opposes mandatory vaccinations, Medicare
Tom Price's remarks and his affiliations over a long career in medicine and politics shed light on the intensity of his beliefs — and show that he would lead a department whose mission and bureaucrats he has repeatedly deplored.
 
Marco Rubio just gave a really important speech — but almost no one paid attention
The senator from Florida made a plea for civility, warning that if respectful debate dies in the Senate, it will perish in broader society, too.

Why Whole Foods is struggling
Organic food has never been so popular among American consumers. Ironically, that's bad news for the brand that made organic a household name.
 
The USDA removed animal welfare reports from its site. A show horse lawsuit may be why.
The case is being hailed by some as the impetus for an abrupt decision by the agency to pull from its website all enforcement records related to "horse soring" and other animal welfare violations.
 
Victim told police an Oklahoma football player punched her because she rejected his advances
