They put out a document every day and there's a section called "Presidential Documents"
here can be found trump's fiats. day after day.
here's one from today's email:
Committees; Establishment, Renewal, Termination, etc.:
Crime Reduction and Public Safety Task Force; Establishment (EO 13776) ,
1069910700 [201703118]
i read it as a directive to Sessions to impose a police state. Any other interpretations please chime in, i'm no lawyer.
but the reason i'm posting here is i wonder what this means:
" (c) This order is not intended to, and does not,
create any right or benefit, substantive or procedural,
enforceable at law or in equity by any party against
the United States, its departments, agencies, or
entities, its officers, employees, or agents, or any
other person."
what does that mean?

anyone can look at the federal register and you can subscribe at https://www.archives.gov/federal-register/the-federal-register/email-signup.html
who knows how long this will be available. as far as i know the white house is still not taking calls. ETA: i just got through this morning. but i am at work and couldn't hold so it's not certain i ever would have been connected to a person, but maybe. the last time i tried i reached a recording saying the system was done or somesuch. I was just going to leave a message for trump reminding him that there is a constitution, a first amendment, and a system of checks and balances in this country that precludes him from being a dictator. maybe i'll have more time later.

For example, you can find it at the end of the first executive order Obama issued:
