Outside of trade, immigration, a personal war against the "Deep State" and the hot foreign policy issue of the moment, Trump has left many of his Cabinet secretaries to work without interruption, let alone direction. axios.com/trump-legacy-f…
As a result of Trump's lack of interest in much of domestic policy, whole swaths of his administration — Education, Housing and Urban Development and Transportation, to name a few — have escaped even the barest presidential attention. axios.com/trump-legacy-f…
💵 The economy

Trump made good on his pledges to cut taxes and regulation, which helped create jobs but didn't achieve the levels of economic growth that he had promised, @danprimack writes. axios.com/trump-legacy-f…
🏥 Health care

Trump’s failure to contain the coronavirus will also be his most lasting health care legacy. His administration has not accomplished much of its proactive agenda over the past four years, @sam_baker writes. axios.com/trump-legacy-f…
@sam_baker 🌎 Climate

Trump’s legacy on energy and climate change — two inevitably connected issues — are surprisingly opposite of each other, @amyaharder reports.
axios.com/trump-legacy-f…
🗺 Foreign policy

Trump dramatically changed the role America plays in the world and the way the world views America — though Biden has vowed to wipe away "America First" and recommit to U.S. alliances, @DavidLawler10 reports. axios.com/trump-legacy-f…
President Trump's policy legacy is as much defined by what he's ignored as by what he's involved himself in.

🗳️ The chances of sporadic violence, significant unrest or voting issues heading into Election Day are quite high.

But all of us — Democrats, Republicans, independents alike — can do our part to minimize the drama and darker scenarios. axios.com/election-night…
1. Vote and then chill until late Tuesday night. There will be dumb rumors, wild speculation and armchair projections, all of it meaningless. axios.com/election-night…
2. Don't expect a quick, clear winner: We can't stress enough the chance of it taking days to fully count mail-in and absentee votes, to determine the real outcome in places like Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. axios.com/election-night…

🚀 NASA's OSIRIS-REx spacecraft briefly touched the surface of an asteroid Tuesday in a bid to collect a sample from the space rock that will one day be returned to Earth. axios.com/nasa-osiris-re…
🔎The big picture: Scientists hope the sample from the asteroid Bennu will allow them to learn more about the early days of the solar system and how it has evolved over billions of years, @mirikramer writes. axios.com/nasa-asteroid-… Image
🤖 OSIRIS-REx — which arrived at Bennu in 2018 — was able to use its sampling arm to touch the surface of the asteroid.

The spacecraft needed to avoid large boulders and rocks on the way down to tag Bennu, further complicating the delicate work.

🔎 SPECIAL REPORT: U.S. vs. Google, the siege begins

The DOJ fired the starter pistol on what's likely to be a years-long legal siege of Big Tech when it filed a major antitrust suit Tuesday against Google, @scottros, @ashleyrgold and @dalykyle report.
axios.com/us-vs-google-a… Image
💪 The DOJ's lawsuit centers on the charge that Google has built a self-reinforcing machine to illegally insulate it from any serious competition in search, @dalykyle writes.

Here's what the U.S. antitrust case charges Google with:

⚖️ Microsoft's epic battle with the U.S. government from 1997-2002, the last major federal antitrust action in tech, casts a long shadow over the Google lawsuit — but the industry landscape today is profoundly different, @scottros reports.
