I imagine others may already be doing this, but the "From the Press Office" page on whitehouse.gov is one way to stay abreast of what's happening. Some of what is found there hasn't gotten a great deal of press (or I missed reports). Anyway, here's what's there:

Here's just the first 5 of 10 items for day 59 --
1/ The head of the House Intelligence Committee said there is no evidence of collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia. Rep. Devin Nunes wants to focus the committee on the alleged espionage and leaks of classified information, such as releasing information about Michael Flynn speaking to the Russian ambassador. (NPR)
2/ Schiff: Circumstantial evidence of collusion exists between the Trump campaign and Russia despite denials from top intelligence officials that Russian operatives tried to interfere with the 2016 election. Schiff defended the House Intelligence Committee continuing to look into the matter. (NBC News)
3/ Five things to watch at Mondays House Intelligence Committees Russia hearing. Both the FBI director and the director of the NSA will speak about alleged Russian meddling in the 2016 elections, including potential connections between Trumps inner circle and the Kremlin. (Washington Post)
4/ Top NSA official ridicules allegations that Britain spied on Trump, calling the claim arrant nonsense. Richard Ledgett, deputy director of the NSA, said the idea that Britain had a hand in spying on Trump was just crazy and that it belies a complete lack of understanding of how the relationship works between the intel community agencies, it completely ignores the political reality of would the UK government agree to do that? (Reuters)
5/ Ryan plans tweaks to the health care bill in order to help people in their 50s and 60s buy insurance. Ryan said he would most likely bring a health care bill forward for a floor vote on Thursday. (Bloomberg)
