North Korea tested an intercontinental ballistic missile Friday that appears to have the range to hit major US cities, experts say, and prompted a fresh round of condemnation from the United States, China, Japan and South Korea.
A combination of US, South Korean and Japanese analyses of the launch from Mupyong-ni, near North Korea's border with China, shows the missile flew about 45 minutes, going 3,700 kilometers (2,300 miles) high and for a distance of 1,000 kilometers (621 miles).
Rep. Ted Lieu (D-Calif.) said on Saturday that the fact President Trump drew criticism from the Boy Scouts and the International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP), appeared to be the result of a concerted effort by the president.
"Let me say, in one week Donald Trump got rebuked by the Boy Scouts, by the Pentagon, by the [IACP]," Lieu said on MSNBC. "You really gotta try to be that bad."
The last week has been one of Donald Trump's worst so far, though there haven't been many good ones, and one Democratic congressman actually gave the president a backhanded compliment for pulling it off.
Of the president's disastrous week, California Rep. Ted Lieu said, "You really gotta try to be that bad."
First, Lieu weighed in on Trump's "disturbing" endorsement of police brutality:

The United States detected an intercontinental ballistic missile launch out of North Korea at approximately 10:45 am ET on Friday, the Pentagon confirmed to CNN -- Pyongyang's second such test this month.
The missile was launched from Mupyong-ni and traveled about 1000 km before splashing down in the waters off the Japanese coast, according to the Pentagon, which is working with interagency partners on a more detailed assessment.
The North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) determined the missile launch from North Korea did not pose a threat to North America.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
WASHINGTON – Today, Congressman Ted W. Lieu (D | Los Angeles County) issued the following statement in light of House passage of Representative Brat's (R-VA) amendment (#21) to the national security "minibus" spending bill—the Department of Defense Appropriations Act—for Fiscal Year 2018. Amendment #21 prohibits the Department of Veterans Affairs from spending money on any study that causes significant pain or distress to dogs. Mr. Lieu is a cosponsor of the Brat Amendment.
On a sweltering afternoon in a suburb of Los Angeles, in a strip mall shared by a Little Caesars and the Vallarta Supermarket, 80 people have come to protest their congressman's vote for Trumpcare. They wear hospital gowns and neck braces or lean on canes and crutches as a mortuary dirge blares from a boom box. They hold RIP signs shaped like gravestones. Republican Rep. Steve Knight isn't at his Simi Valley office, but a former staffer with a striking resemblance to Sarah Palin wades into the throng to speak on his behalf.
A small group of House Democrats are circulating a letter to send to President Trump urging him to dismiss his son-in-law and senior adviser, Jared Kushner, over his contacts with Russian officials during the campaign.
