Good Thursday morning. Here are some of the stories making news in Washington and politics today.

• The Trump administration is moving to abolish a court agreement that set a 20-day limit for detaining families in immigration jails. Under a new rule, migrant families caught crossing the border illegally would stay at family detention centers for as long as it takes to decide their cases.

• The deficit is expected to reach $1 trillion in the next fiscal year, according to the Congressional Budget Office. The rise in red ink stems from a steep falloff in federal revenue after President Trump’s 2017 tax cuts, and it could get worse if the trade war with China further chills business investment and consumer spending.

• Mr. Trump and his aides are sending two simultaneous, contradictory messages about the economy: That it is booming, and that it is time for emergency measures to keep the boom going.
