Day 102: Just another manic Monday

Trump was really on fire this weekend, and I only caught bits and pieces of it. Somebody else meticulously summed it all up beautifully. Go and read it.

• Few journalists have ever seriously pushed Trump on his obvious lies. Somebody recently tried though, and Trump abruptly terminated the interview.
• I found some details on the spending bill. I'm reasonably happy with the broad-brush strokes. I'm livid that it has to include $65 million for security for the President above and beyond his predecessor. The Washington Post has more details, including Trump's wish-list items that were ditched by Republicans to get together something that will pass (and also includes a link to the 1665 page bill).
• More appointment news: Trump has nominated an anti-contraceptive zealot to head a family planning program. This is beyond stupidity. This is actively undermining the government program.
• The Whitehouse is killing Michelle Obama's girl's education program, as well as reversing her work on nutritional programs for schools. Relax - your children are in the best hands with this administration!
• ICE detained an asylum applicant on his 18th birthday at a children's shelter. I have no words profound enough to convey my rage.
• The White House thinks it has the votes to repeal Obamacare this week. I read somewhere that they are just 6 votes short. Please make your voice heard by your representatives!
