FOR YOUR RADAR -- "Trump administration to send NAFTA notification letter Thursday," by Adam Behsudi, Megan Cassella and Doug Palmer: "The Trump
administration is expected to send to Congress on Thursday morning a final letter notifying lawmakers that it intends to open trade talks with Canada and Mexico in an
attempt to renegotiate NAFTA, according to an administration official and congressional aides. ... Sending the letter triggers a 90-day consultation period that must conclude before negotiations can officially begin -- a process set out under the 2015 Trade Promotion Authority legislation that gives the White House the ability to fast-track passage of the deal in Congress. The 90-day period would end Aug. 16."

THE RESISTANCE -- "Jolted by Trump, Orange County Democrats see a shot at victory on GOP turf," by L.A. Times' Sarah Wire: "Catherine Nadeau was never a supporter of Rep. Dana Rohrabacher, but as a resident of historically conservative
Orange County she had never bothered to get involved in local politics either. Donald Trump's surprise presidential win changed that. ... Nadeau is among the newly
energized residents giving Democrats hope they can claim at least some of the congressional seats in Orange County that have been red for a generation.
"Despite the vocal optimism from activists and local dissatisfaction with Trump, it will be an uphill battle for Democrats to flip the four heavily Republican congressional districts in Orange County, all but one of which the incumbent won in 2016 by double digits. More than a dozen resistance groups have formed in Orange County since the presidential election. They've demanded meetings with the four Republican members of Congress, and staged town halls in their name when the members decline. They've
delivered petitions and Valentines and even protested outside the members' homes. Most Tuesdays, at least a few dozen people show up with signs outside district offices (some of which they've been told they can no longer enter)." http://lat.ms/2pWJqTo

It then shared its findings in a letter sent to the first daughter, saying employees are forced to work at least 12 1/2 hours a day and at least six days a week -- at a monthly
