York: DOJ's strong case defending Trump's immigration order

Justice Department lawyers have produced a point-by-point demolition of Washington State's claims regarding President Trump's executive order temporarily suspending non-American entry from seven terror-plagued countries. Indeed, for all except the most partisan, it is likely impossible to read the Washington State lawsuit, plus Judge James Robart's brief comments and writing on the matter, plus the Justice Department's response, and not come away with the conclusion that Trump's order is on sound legal and constitutional ground. '[T]his is an area where Congress has delegated authority to the president to make these determinations.'

Senators want to go low-tech to improve electrical grid security

The Securing Energy Infrastructure Act, introduced last month, would ensure the electrical grid's cybersecurity system has low-tech protections instead of automated systems that can be attacked. Back to the... not future.
Supreme Court fight over Gorsuch puts Schumer in a bind

Supreme Court fight over Gorsuch puts Schumer in a bind

Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., must somehow shield as many as 13 potentially vulnerable Democratic incumbents and at the same time find a way to satisfy a Democratic base thirsty for blood.  Schumer feels the Left breathing down his neck.

Trump sets out to burn up Obama's energy regs

President Trump's priority in his first 100 days will be to incinerate many of the energy and environmental regulations imposed by former President Barack Obama in the past eight years. His early plans lack detail.

GOP could look to per-patient funding for Medicaid reform

If Republicans succeed in making significant changes to Medicaid, they are far less likely to go with state block-grants than they would be with a more moderate per-capita system embraced by a wider swath of Republicans.  Like block grants, a per-capita system would limit federal contributions, but it would allow federal assistance to rise with enrollment growth.

FTC poised to take over Internet from FCC

In his dissenting statement to the Federal Communications Commission's move in late 2016 to crack down on ISP privacy practices, FCC Commissioner Ajit Pai suggested that he's supportive and open to returning to an Internet overseen by the Federal Trade Commission. Wants to cull his own panel's rules.

Sen. Rounds aims to expunge 'offensive' laws on native Americans

Sen. Mike Rounds is taking aim at outdated and "offensive" statutes imposed on Native Americans stretching back more than 100 years to try to assimilate or subjugate tribes that are still part of current law even though they haven't been enforced in decades. Some of these laws 'are just crazy,' he says.
Trump's VA pick faces uphill battle to keep president's many promises

Trump's VA pick faces uphill battle to keep president's many promises

David Shulkin, President Trump's choice to lead the Department of Veterans Affairs, faces the unique challenge of overhauling a system he's spent the past two years defending. And with a boss who spent more than a year on the campaign trail shaming VA officials for their recent failures, Shulkin may not have room for error when he tackles problems in one of the largest and most complex organizations in the world. Congress will need to back him up with civil service reforms.

Trump on Patriots' win: 'What an amazing comeback'

President Trump congratulated the New England Patriots moments after the team's stunning comeback in the Super Bowl. "What an amazing comeback and win by the Patriots," Trump tweeted. "Tom Brady, Bob Kraft and Coach B are total winners. Wow!" Trump had predicted an eight-point Patriot win.

Florida mulls teaching Java and Basic in place of Spanish and French

High school students in Florida soon may be able to earn credit toward their foreign language requirements by taking computer coding classes. Coding over Latin?

Mortgage industry pushes to free Fannie and Freddie from the federal government

With the Trump administration in power, mortgage bankers see a new opening to release Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac from government control and reshape the housing finance system, marking a shift in the political landscape from the late Obama years. Hopes of creating a competitive secondary mortgage market.

Editorial: Our voter registration system requires reform

When he makes wild claims about "voter fraud," President Trump seems to conflate voter fraud with voter registration "fraud" or simply out-of-date registrations. They are different things, and the latter can be fixed without interfering with any legitimate voter's rights. One in eight voter registrations is out of date.

Newsletter vom 06.02.2017 - Auf- und absteigende Mächte

BERLIN/WASHINGTON (Eigener Bericht) - Eskalierender Streit um den
möglichen künftigen Botschafter Washingtons bei der EU hat den
Antrittsbesuch von Außenminister Sigmar Gabriel vergangene Woche in
Washington begleitet. Ted Malloch, der Anwärter auf den Posten in
Brüssel, schließt den Kollaps des Euro in den kommenden 18 Monaten
nicht aus; er hält darüber hinaus einen Rückbau oder gar das
Zusammenbrechen der EU für denkbar. Zudem hat er angekündigt,
Washington werde verstärkt nicht mehr mit Brüssel, sondern mit den
EU-Staaten einzeln verhandeln; das könnte die bestehenden Risse in
der EU vertiefen. Berlin setzt daher alles daran, Mallochs Ernennung
zu verhindern. Mehrere Fraktionsvorsitzende aus dem Europaparlament
fordern, seine Akkreditierung zu verweigern - ein bislang kaum
vorstellbarer Affront. Zugleich sucht Berlin sich im eskalierenden
transatlantischen Machtkampf als ebenbürtiges Korrektiv zu Washington
unter Trump in Stellung zu bringen; Außenminister Gabriel hat sich
letzte Woche in einem beispiellosen Auftritt in Washington als
Lehrmeister in Sachen Demokratie und Menschenrechte inszeniert. Manche
im deutschen Establishment rechnen mit einem globalen Aufstieg der EU
und dem parallelen Abstieg der USA.
