Jonathan Turley makes me want to vomit
He's a law professor at GW, and he's taking Trump's side on this. He's saying that Trump's order is constitutional, and that Yates was wrong in what she did.
Morning Joe is doing all that it can to normalize Trump.

Trump is persecuting us. Terrorizing us, and we are in a war with him. That qualifies us to get into Canada!
Finally, some good news. We can all go to Canada! WooHooo!!

IOW, with almost 50% of the world's population working with China, the US will become increasingly isolated economically with consumers and labor getting the worst of it.
CNN: TPP vs RCEP? Trade deals explained
The Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) is composed of the 10 member states of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) and six states with which ASEAN has existing free trade agreements.
The RCEP countries make up 46% of the global population and are worth 24% of global GDP.
However, the deal lacks the protections for labor, human rights and the environment set by the TPP.

Let's create a shadow EPA
Okay, so Trump and the Republicans want to effectively shut down the EPA? Fine. Here's how we should respond:
1. Create our own private EPA composed of top scientists.
2. We can perform our own tests of the environment for infractions
3. We'll also have lawyers on staff to sue corporate polluters
4. We'll work with those states that have their own EPAs.
Nothing can stop progress and science.
