Another torrent of news this week, and then – boom. The US attacked Syria. Missiles raining down on a Syrian airbase accused of deploying chemical weapons. An attack ordered by a president who always said “don’t do it.” It’s done. In the US Senate, the nuclear option is invoked to push through Supreme Court nominee Neil Gorsuch. In Florida, Donald Trump sits down with China’s leader Xi Jinping. Bill O’Reilly’s in trouble. Bannon is bumped. This hour On Point, our weekly news roundtable goes behind the headlines. — Tom Ashbrook
