New- Trump signing a memorandum today, "Ensuring American Citizens Receive Proper Representation in Congress." Seeks to exclude undocumented immigrants from the census for the purpose of congressional apportionment. Experts say it's a non-starter going against Constitution.

Unsurprising anecdote: I drove to CVS yesterday and on my way passed a house flying a huge Trump 2020 sign with the stereotypical enormous (never to go off-road) off-road 4X4 pickup in the driveway and kinda chucked to myself. On the way home passing the house again, there was a Hispanic landscaping worker blowing leaves off of their lawn, and so I chucked again.
