Donald Trump’s White House has a threatening message for anyone who might even be perceived to disagree with the president: Don’t. Or else. A good round-up of various ways in which offense against our President are punished.
Social Security lists thousands of living immigrants as dead to prompt them to leave -- if you're legally dead, you can't collect benefits, even if you claim to be alive
Trump signs two executive orders to promote coal: one to remove all regulations on coal power and mining, and the other to begin investigations into states that put any limitations on coal power. +6.5° here we come!
Florida teacher's contract dropped after using student's preferred name without parental permission -- no details about the minor in this case, but apparently you can lose your teaching credential for calling a student named James as Jim. (But we all know this is really about the trans.)
House Republicans passed a bill aiming to curb district court judges' ability to issue nationwide injunctions. Not passed the Senate, probably won't, but one house of congress voted for a bill that would limit actions to apply only to the plaintiffs. For example, Miranda rights would apply specifically to Ernesto Miranda, and everyone else would have to file suit to get similar rights (presumably named after themselves). Separate but equal justice for all!
President of El Salvador says he won't return mistakenly deported man to U.S. The pieces are now in place -- the US government now has a place to send undesirables to that is fully immune from judicial review. The Supreme Court has already ruled, but can't enforce their decision. Oh wells.
