North Korea carrot and stick, and Trump at 100 days
Military options
As President Trump raises the possibility of "major, major conflict" with North Korea, the U.S. is putting on a show of force intended to convince the regime that it doesn't stand a chance. There's no doubt who would win, but the destruction would be horrendous for both sides. We look at the current U.S. military options against the North, and why they're not the first choice.
"Maximum pressure"
The Trump administration will turn today to the most powerful United Nations body -- the 15-member Security Council -- to try to show a united front in the face of North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un's defiance. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson will chair a meeting aimed at tightening adherence to existing sanctions against the North, and drawing the isolated regime back to the bargaining table.
Frontier view
Rep. Will Hurd, R-Texas, represents a unique district: It's big, it's a perennial battleground, and it runs nearly half the length of the U.S.-Mexico border. All of those factors have shaped his perspective on contentious border issues, which differs sharply from President Trump's.
100-day perspective
President Donald Trump has signed more laws and executive orders than recent presidents in his first 100 days, but he hasn't been remarkably more -- or shockingly less -- successful than most past presidents, according to presidential historians.
100-day economy
Donald Trump won the presidency by crusading against slow economic growth, decrying trade pacts and other culprits he says have hurt the American worker. But as we near a major milestone in his presidency, he has yet to notch any major accomplishments on the economic front.
Fox investigation
A federal investigation into Fox News is widening, with two agencies now looking into the network's financial practices, a source has confirmed to CBS News. Investigators have reportedly brought in financial crime experts to help in the case.
No-fault, but you lose
A car pulls right in front of you and slams on the brakes, causing a collision. Welcome to the game of no-fault insurance, where everyone gets paid for their injuries -- even if no one gets hurt. Experts say such coverage is a good idea gone terribly wrong, as scam artists team with crooked clinics to rip you off.
