President Trump speaks for the first time since he launched a racist twitter attack on four congresswomen. Instead of debating their liberal policy ideas, the president says these women of color should go home. Three of the four were born in America. More Republicans are condemning the president's reprehensible words, and as the president yet again flexes his race-baiting instincts -- several conservative voices lament he is giving Democrats a political gift. And Joe Biden draws a dividing line in the Democratic race for president. He says improving Obamacare must be the party's health care north star -- not the more liberal Medicare for All. Today's panel: Margaret Talev with Bloomberg, Toluse Olorunnipa with The Washington Post, Molly Ball with Time, and Tarini Parti with The Wall Street Journal. Also on the program: CNN's Suzanne Malveaux, Arlette Saenz, and Shimon Prokupecz.

Labor secretary Alex Acosta resigns -- deciding his role in a sweetheart deal for accused sex offender Jeffrey Epstein more than a decade ago is too much of a political headache for President Trump heading into his re-election campaign. Plus, Mueller delayed -- the special counsel's long-awaited congressional testimony is being pushed back a week -- to July 24th now -- as lawmakers try to negotiate a deal for Robert Mueller to spend more time taking questions. And a 30-minute session with reporters this morning is trademark Trump. A lot of insults, a lot of twisted facts, plus takes on house speakers past and present. Republican Paul Ryan gets a tongue lashing, and Democrat Nancy Pelosi gets an endorsement of sorts. Today's Panel: Olivier Knox with SiriusXM, Toluse Olorunnipa with The Washington Post, Margaret Talev with Bloomberg, and CNN's Dana Bash. Also, on the Program: CNN's Kaitlan Collins and Manu Raju.

And the speaker versus the squad. Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez says speaker Pelosi is disrespecting the new liberal women of color in the democratic house. Just moments ago, the speaker defended her leadership -- but did not respond directly. President Trump's Rose Garden re-election strategy is on overdrive today. A news conference later to highlight his plan to force a citizenship question on the 2020 census. Before that, a so-called White House "Social Media Summit" whose guests list includes far right conspiracy theorists and smear artists. Plus, flip, flop, flip: Amy McGrath was against Brett Kavanaugh's Supreme Court nomination, then for it, and now against him again. A very rough start for the Kentucky Democrat Party leaders in Washington say is the best challenger for majority leader Mitch McConnell. Today's Panel: Carl Hulse with The New York Times, Sahil Kapur with Bloomberg, Rachael Bade with The Washington Post, CNN's Kaitlan Collins Also, on the Program: CNN's MJ Lee and Manu Raju.

And the US women's soccer team gets a heroine's welcome in New York -- a ticker tape parade to celebrate their big World Cup win -- and their fight for equal pay.
