This week, Donald Trump declared that journalists are purposefully covering up huge numbers of terrorist attacks, preventing people from finding out that the attacks have taken place. Speaking about terrorism to a gathering of American soldiers, Trump said, "You've seen what happened in Paris and Nice.
Following President Donald Trump's false claim that the press purposefully fails to report on terror attacks, his team released a list of attacks that were supposedly "underreported." The list supplied, however, was entirely devoid of attacks by right-wing extremists and those inspired by the "alt-right."
It turns out senior White House adviser Kellyanne Conway didn't misspeak only one time when she referenced a fictional "massacre" that unfolded in Bowling Green, KY, at the hands of two Iraqi-born men in 2011. She actually told that tall tale in at least three interviews in recent weeks, attempting to defend President Donald Trump's ban on travel for visitors from seven Muslim-majority countries.
Kurt Nimmo, a longtime former editor for Alex Jones' Infowars.com, has been publicly trashing his ex-boss as a "snake oil salesman" who sold out to support President Donald Trump.

What kind of national security policy will the Trump administration pursue globally? On this issue, as on so many others, the incoming president has offered enough contradictory clues, tweets, and comments that the only definitive answer right now is: Who knows? During his presidential campaign he more or less promised a non-interventionist foreign policy, even as he offered hints that his might be anything but. There was, of course, ISIS to destroy and he swore he would " bomb the shit out of them."
For the moment, federal courts have interrupted the president's immigration order. Judge Robart remarked in his Temporary Restraining Order that there is "no support" for the assertion that banning Syrian refugees and individuals from Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen is likely to protect U.S. national security.
You have to hand to the civil society groups pushing back on the Trump administration's recent executive orders banning the entry of Syrian refugees and all other types of visa holders from Syria, Iran and five other majority Muslim countries in the Middle East and North Africa. Through protests and well coordinated, volunteer lawfare, a temporary stay on deportation was issued within the first 24 hours, green-card holders were exempted almost as quickly, and, as of February 4, 2017, a Federal judge in Seattle issued a restraining order blocking the implementation of the executive order nation wide.
I rarely use the words "best ever" when describing anything because it is so subjective...but I am going to suspend my personal rule and declare this the best SNL skit in years. I have never laughed so loud at a skit on this show, ever.

After several delays, Trump unveiled his so-called plan to address the conflictsa S-a Swhich included him retaining full ownership of the Trump Organization.
The Trump White House didn't merely put out an implicitly anti-Semitic message on Holocaust Remembrance Day , it prevented the State Department from issuing one without the Holocaust denial in it: The State Department drafted its own statement last month marking International Holocaust Remembrance Day that explicitly included a mention of Jewish victims, according to people familiar with the matter, but President Donald Trump's White House blocked its release. The existence of the draft statement adds another dimension to the controversy around the White House's own statement that was released on Friday and set off a furor because it excluded any mention of Jews.

"National Nurses United will oppose the nomination of Neil Gorsuch to the U.S. Supreme Court and called on Democratic members of the Senate to follow the standard set by the Senate majority last year in taking whatever steps they can, including the use of the filibuster, to block the confirmation of Gorsuch. "With the refusal of the U.S. Senate to hold hearings on the last Presidential nominee for the Court, there can be no justification for a rush to judgment on this nominee.
"There is a very powerful dissent that is now coming to the forefront among career employees" in Washington, D.C. From the 1,000 State Department officials rushing to sign an official dissent cable , to the 180 federal workers signing up for a workshop on civil disobedience, to the dozens of "rogue" agency Twitter accounts that have sprouted up in the last week, internal resistance to the right-wing Trump agenda is rivaling the power of people on the streets-perhaps not in numbers, but in energy and creativity.
The President has just nominated Judge Neil Gorsuch to fill the vacancy that the GOP majority in the US Senate held open for almost a year after the death of Associate Justice Scalia. Many court watchers, noting Trump's "central casting" approach to staffing, consider the 10th Circuit judge the favorite for the high court seat, if for no other reason than "he looks the part," as Empirical SCOTUS blogger Adam Feldman put it.
Sally Yates had to know that when she refused to enforce President Trump's travel ban on Monday , she was effectively resigning her post as Acting Attorney General.
