THE FAMILY -- "Arrested, missing China activists spark criticism of Trump," by AP's Erika Kinetz in Shanghai: "The arrest and disappearance of three labor activists investigating a Chinese company that produces Ivanka Trump-branded shoes in China prompted a call for her brand to cease working with the supplier and raised questions about whether the first family's commercial interests would muddy U.S. leadership on human rights. The men were working with a U.S. nonprofit to publish a report next month alleging low pay, excessive overtime and possible misuse of student labor, according to China Labor Watch executive director Li Qiang, who lost contact with the investigators over the weekend.

Forty-three percent of voters want Congress to begin impeachment proceedings, according to a new POLITICO/Morning Consult poll, up from 38 percent last week. ... "But that's still less than the 45 percent who don't want Congress to impeach Trump, down a tick from 46 percent the week before. Only three American presidents in history have faced legitimate impeachment threats. Much of the support for impeaching Trump comes from political considerations, the poll shows - not a belief that Trump is actually guilty of impeachable offenses, like treason, bribery or obstructing justice." http://politi.co/2rEa34b MEDIAWATCH -- "Scott Pelley out as CBS Evening News anchor," by Hadas Gold: "Scott Pelley is out as 'CBS Evening News' anchor, POLITICO has confirmed.
