And so it continues....House begins tearing up Obama-era rules
The House passed two bills on Wednesday that will erase regulations targeting the coal industry and the oil and mining sector, launching Republicans' offensive against a series of late-term rules put in place by former President Barack Obama.
If it passes the Senate and is signed by President Donald Trump, as is expected, the vote will mark the first time in 15 years that lawmakers successfully used the Congressional Review Act to unwind executive branch actions — and Republicans lawmakers who were enraged over Obama’s expansive regulatory agenda say they are prepared to deploy the tool to kill a dozen or more rules on energy, labor and guns.
The first two such resolutions cleared the House on Wednesday, largely along party line votes, and target the Interior Department’s stream rule, which aimed to protect waterways from pollution from mountaintop coal mining but was fiercely opposed by the industry and GOP. The second kills a Securities and Exchange Commission rule requiring oil, gas and mining companies to reveal payments made to foreign governments.
"These measures will deliver relief from regulations that threaten to wipe off thousands of jobs in the energy industry," House Speaker Paul Ryan said Tuesday.

People on Twitter Are Begging Obama to Come Back From Vacation
On Monday, former President Barack Obama said he "fundamentally disagrees" with Trump's new immigration executive order and backed demonstrators who protested at airports around the country throughout the weekend, CNN reported.
Obama's spokesperson, Kevin Lewis, said, "With regard to comparisons to President Obama’s foreign policy decisions, as we’ve heard before, the President fundamentally disagrees with the notion of discriminating against individuals because of their faith or religion.” He also added that Obama was "heartened" by the highly vocal reactions across the country to the Muslim ban.
Obama's response came after Trump defended his recent executive order, saying that it was "similar to what President Obama did in 2011 when he banned visas for refugees from Iraq for six months," according to USA Today. However, there was a fundamental difference between Obama's actions and Trump's ban: Obama was responding a tangible threat. Additionally, the Obama administration pointed out that they never stopped accepting visas from Iraq, simply that the visa process was slowed down, according to the Washington Post.
Obama's response came as a surprise to many people on social media, some of who've been tweeting outcries to bring Obama back into office since Trump took office just over a week ago
