Link Drumpf 1/22/17

Ethics lawyers will be taking Drumpf to court over allowing his businesses to continue accepting payments from foreign governments.

Drones in the time of Drumpf have arrived. Drones bombed "suspected Al Qaeda operatives" in Yemen. There is worry that Drumpf "will more aggressively conduct drone strikes, which are subject to little oversight from Congress or the judiciary."

This Huffington Post piece outlines how climate change is a public health problem in so many ways, and states that Scott Pruitt, Drumpf's nominee to head the EPA, will fail in court if he tries to dismantle or defang the EPA too much, because the EPA is legally tasked with protecting public health. Importantly, though, it argues that we cannot wait for Drumpf's actions to fail in court, because the problem is too urgent. States, cities, and individuals need to take action now.

The AP reports on Drumpf's "war with the media." 

Vox details how Drumpf's "American carnage" story doesn't gibe with facts. Murder rates, though they ticked upwards in 2015, are still at historic lows.
