Day 67: Have we really gotten this far?

A grab bag of headlines today.

• Kushner has been tapped to lead a complete overhaul of federal government. This is essentially Trump's plan to run government like a business, for while the Huffington Post rightly lampoons him, pointing out that other countries established entire agencies to undertake some of the jobs that have been lumped on Kushner's shoulders. Let us also remember Kushner's complete lack of any qualifications...
• Speaking of Kushner, apparently he met with more Russians and failed to disclose these meetings. The Senate now wants him to explain himself.
• Today, Jeff Sessions rolled out the Justice Department's plan to wage war on sanctuary cities by withholding funding. Sigh.
• Trump continues steamrolling through Obama-era regulations, effectively unsigning four of them today. Two had to do with education rules regarding teacher training and school evaluations, one to do with protecting workers from wage theft, and the other was regarding the management of federal lands.
• The Trump administration is considering increasing their involvement in the civil war in Yemen. This is troubling.
• Further troubling is the administration's seeming lack of interest in the mass incarceration of peaceful anticorruption protestors in Russia, including the leader of the opposition party.
