Everyone is entitled to my opinion.



  • January 21, 2017: Women''s March. On the day after Trump's inauguration, more than 400 marches occurred across the US in nearly every state and in 81 countries to protest Trump and his policies. Some estimate nearly 2.9 million US participants--the largest single-day protests in U.S. history--and worldwide participation drew about about 4. 8 million people. 

 

  • January 28, 2017: US Judge halts deportations following Trump's Executive Order (EO) restricting immigration signed January 27, 2017. Decision only addresses part of the EO. More work to do. 


  • February 3, 2017: U.S. District Judge placed a temporary nationwide block on Trump's immigration ban, saying the court "....must intervene to fulfill its constitutional role in our tripart government." In accordance with the ruling, the U.S. Department of State is no longer revoking visas and is now allowing banned travelers to enter the country. Following the court decision, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) stopped implementing Trump's immigration ban.   


  • February 9, 2017: Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals upheld the lower court ruling suspending President Trump’s immigration order. The case will now go before the Supreme Court. 


.

  • March 24, 2017: Trump's Congress failed to repeal the Affordable Care Act, aka Obama Care. The Speaker of the House and the Trump agreed to pull the bill from consideration, knowing that the repeal would fail. Obama Care will continue to allow millions of people to obtain health care and possibly medical care, and until another system is put in place, we will continue to subsidize the giant insurance and medical/pharmaceutical industries. More importantly, the event exposed the deepening rift among the House Republicans and the failure of the Trump’s normal “hardball” tactics: threats, bullying and ultimatums.

Celebrate the Incremental!


This page will highlight political action and other sites I appreciate. I don't expect much action until after the Inauguration.


We are not alone.
