Trump news: President demands billions for border wall as Pelosi says he 'isn't worth' impeaching

There is plenty of news coming out of the South by Southwest festival in Austin.

Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was among those who showed up, and had some strong words to illustrate her feelings toward capitalism.

Here's our report:

Donald Trump has been ridiculed for calling the CEO of Apple Tim Cook "Tim Apple" last week.

He was apparently not in on the joke:

Last week we in the New York office for The Independent wondered what would happen if Donald Trump lost his election in 2020, but refused to leave.

So, after consulting with some experts, here's what we came up with:

The new amount of money Donald Trump is asking for sets the stage for yet another fight between the White House and Congress.

He wants way more than he demanded earlier this year when he kept the government shut down in what became the longest funding lapse in modern American government.

The president's most recent budget proposal calls for over $8bn in wall funding — which is far more than Congress allocated this year, and even more than he would get through his current emergency declaration.

We spoke to some local law enforcement down in Texas to hear their thoughts on the border wall. Here is what they had to say:

Reparations for slavery has rarely received much mention on the national stage, but this year we are seeing much more chatter on the issue among Democrats.

One Democratic presidential candidate, Julian Castro, took a moment over the weekend to slam Bernie Sanders on the topic.

Here's the president weighing in on the upcoming vote considering whether to terminate his emergency declaration.

So far, it seems as though there are enough Republican senators to pass the measure, which will all but ensure Mr Trump will sign the first veto of his presidency.

The mayor of South Bend, Indiana, Pete Buttigieg made quite the splash over the weekend during a town hall hosted by CNN.

Mr Buttigieg, 37, is facing un uphill battle to even get into the top tier of candidates, but his comments at the town hall are certain to at least help with name recognition. He argues that he has more experience holding office than Donald Trump — so his age should not be fretted over — and that Vice President Mike Pence follows a different interpretation of scripture than him.

Here's the latest from AOC and her thoughts on capitalism:

Democrats have chosen Milwaukee as the site for their 2020 Democratic National Convention.

They held their 2016 convention in Philadelphia, and the move to Wisconsin is likely a play at the types of midwestern voters who helped Donald Trump surprise Hillary Clinton in the 2016 election.
