Here are some of the stories making news in Washington and politics today. _____________________ • President Trump plans to begin a fresh effort on Monday to pressure Congress to pay for a border wall. But with Democrats in control of the House, his plan is likely dead on arrival. • The relationship between Mr. Trump and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel has no precedent in their countries’ history, but it has deep parallels in their politics and struggles with scandal. As an Israeli election approaches, is this the last hurrah? • After last week’s intraparty fight over Representative Ilhan Omar, many Democrats worry that a major response will now be required every time a member transgresses the ill-defined rules of rhetorical decorum. • The leading Democratic candidates for president have largely embraced progressive ideas on health care, taxes, the environment and Middle East policy. That has unnerved moderates, who fear the party could fritter away its chances of beating Mr. Trump by careening over a liberal cliff. • A poll of likely Iowa caucusgoers released this weekend found Joe Biden atop the field of potential 2020 candidates, followed closely by Senator Bernie Sanders. In the first two months of 2019 alone, they have killed 225.
