What will Rex Tillerson do in Asia?
PBS News Hour : Why is Tillerson Keeping a low profile Yes, indeed. Asia is a real concern and what exactly will he do? This administration acts like a totalitarian regime.
Healthcare - Millions will lose coverage
WaPo Trumpcare causes 24 million to lose coverage , Ryan won't repeat Trump's promise
I simply cannot agree with or begin to find a defense of this plan. It is reprehensible.
Politco White House analysis worse than CBO

Trump is redefining government
WaPo Trump budget is a major contraction of federal government
Won't this create unemployment? And unequal states? And competition between states? Didn't we solve this already?? I just don't understand!
The spending budget Trump is set to release Thursday will offer the clearest snapshot of his vision for the size and role of government. Aides say that the president sees a new Washington emerging from the budget process, one that prioritizes the military and homeland security while slashing many other areas, including housing, foreign assistance, environmental programs, public broadcasting and research. Simply put, government would be smaller and less involved in regulating life in America, with private companies and states playing a much bigger role.

Cops and Teachers Have to do everything
WaPo Opiod overdoses make cops doctors, counselors
As the current administration destroys the federal government and the safety net while they spend money on creating a police state, cops are forced into counseling and medicine. Cops are trained to cops, not the complete safety net.

Kellyanne Conway -Mean Girl
Wa Po covered her responses regarding Trump's wiretapping claim (Yes, she suggested spying through the microwave and a subsequent op ed ("I'm not in the job of giving evidence")
You may not be Inspector Gadget but you do defend wild and unfounded accusations. KC is nauseating to me. She is so self promoting. I dislike seeing her face on anything. I get it, she is the voice of conservatives but she doesn't talk policy or values. She is a mean girl and that's it.

Russian Intervention is a National Security Issue and State Lawmakers seek to curb it
Brookings Russia's ability to intervene is a National Security Issue
PBS News Hour State Lawmakers seek to curb foreign influence
So isn't this a job for our federal government? Oh wait, they are trying to destroy government (anarchists). The Russia thing needs to be investigated.

Sec of State Tillerson - The Quiet Man, or a Killer of Swamp Creatures?
NYT Tillerson leads State Dept from the Shadows
I am not sure what I think about this. I just thought his different approach is worth noting. The next few months will tell, with North Korea and all.
On another note, I think "drain the swamp" actually means get rid of Democrats. Seriously. It isn't about ending corruption, it is about becoming a one party government.
Quote: But he is also introverted, a bit standoffish. He never met in person with John Kerry, his predecessor. “These guys came in to drain the swamp,” one career State Department official said, “and it’s clear that they are under orders not to cooperate or deal with swamp creatures.”

Have You Seen the Movie The Day After Tomorrow?
WaPo Heavy snow, blizzard in NorthEast
So while the south has an early spring, the north has a late blizzard...where is Dennis Quaid and Jake Gylennhal? Yeah, and our EPA guy questions climate change. *eye roll*

Education and Computer Programming
Brookings Educational Equality and Excellence will drive a stronger economy
Well, duh. Actually, this points out the need for computer programming. So we don't need to fuss so much about instruction methods as we do what we are teaching (content) and technology. (See my ETEC website on TPCK)
