Laura Pitter, Slate
Pitter writes: "Mike Pompeo, President Donald Trump's nominee for secretary of state, is facing Senate confirmation hearings this week.

Barbara Bush and Donald Trump responded very differently to the AIDS epidemic Barbara Bush, then first lady, holds an infant infected with AIDS during a 1989 visit to Grandma's House in Washington. (Dennis Cook/AP)   BY JAMES HOHMANN with Breanne Deppisch and Joanie Greve THE BIG IDEA:  Paying tribute to the late Barbara Bush on Wednesday, Donald Trump noted she was married to George H.W. Bush for 73 years.  “I’ll never beat that record,” said the president, who has been married three times and faces allegations that he cheated on his third wife with a Playboy centerfold shortly after the birth of their son.
