Washington State Attorney General Bob Ferguson smiles during a news conference about President Trump's new executive order Monday, March 6, 2017, in Seattle. Trump signed an executive order Monday ordering new travel restrictions for residents of six Muslim-majority countries as well as a temporary ban on refugees from around the world, retooling a directive issued five weeks ago that stoked chaos at airports and drew international condemnation and a rebuke in the federal courts. The new ban, which takes effect March 16, halts travel for 90 days for residents of Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen. (AP Photo/Elaine Thompson)

The Keystone XL oil pipeline won't use American steel in its construction, despite what President Donald Trump says. White House spokeswoman Sarah Huckabee Sanders said Friday that's due to language in a presidential directive Trump issued in Jan. 2017. The Keystone pipeline would run from Canada to refineries in the Gulf Coast. (AP Photo/Nati Harnik, File)

A U.S. flag refracted in water drops on a car windshield in Gorham, Maine. The vast majority of Americans fear the country is losing its identity, but underlying that widespread agreement is equally deep disagreement over what it means to be an American. A new poll finds the country is torn over what poses the greatest threat to the national way of life.

FILE - In this Feb. 27, 2017, file photo, House Speaker Paul Ryan of Wis. listens at left as Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell of Ky. speaks to reporters outside the White House in Washington, after meeting with President Donald Trump. After seven years of saber-rattling, Republicans seem set to start muscling legislation through Congress reshaping the country’s health care system. Don’t confuse that with GOP unity or assume that success is guaranteed. Unresolved disputes over taxes and Medicaid rage and conservatives complaining that Republican proposals don’t go far enough could undermine the effort, or at least make GOP leaders’ lives difficult.
