I found the economist a good resource. They have a very explicit bias (free trade is good) and slammed him for the tariffs, but their coverage of the dreamers legislation early on was very informative for a non-American.
It wasn't "achieved by doing nothing or by accident". It was because Trump threatened to VETO it because the FISA was used by Obama admin to spy on his campaign.
Pretty much why everyone criticized the act in the first place. I believe they were desparate to turn up any dirt. At this point I believe people to support such issues for the party they disagree with.
