Top Senate Democrat Chuck Schumer is recommending that President Trump appoint Rohit Chopra, a consumer protection advocate, to an open Democratic seat on the Federal Trade Commission. It's up to Trump to decide whether he will follow the minority leader's recommendation, as is tradition.
Why it matters: Chopra would be an ally at the FTC to progressives like Sen. Elizabeth Warren, who lobbied for Chopra to get a regulatory position in New York a couple years back.

Police used tear gas, rubber bullets and pepper spray as the protests sparked by the killing of George Floyd spread nationwide on Friday evening.
The big picture: Police responded in force in cities ranging from Atlanta to Des Moines, Houston to Detroit, Milwaukee to D.C. and Denver to Louisville. In Los Angeles, police declared a stretch of downtown off limits, with Oakland issuing a similar warning.
The Supreme Court has ruled 5-4, with Chief Justice John Roberts joining the court's liberal justices, to reject a challenge to California's pandemic restrictions on worship services.
Why it matters: This is a setback for those seeking to speed the reopening of houses of worship, including President Trump.
