Trump fires head of Immigration Enforcement
Border patrol under Trump will be like the NYPD under Giuliani.
TRUMP FIRES ACTING ATTORNEY GENERAL
Just hitting the wires. It's the Monday night massacre.
Lyft Company taking strong action against Trump administration.
This email just arrived to my inbox:
This weekend, Trump closed the country's borders to refugees, immigrants, and even documented residents from around the world based on their country of origin. Banning people of a particular faith or creed, race or identity, sexuality or ethnicity, from entering the U.S. is antithetical to both Lyft's and our nation's core values. We stand firmly against these actions, and will not be silent on issues that threaten the values of our community.
We know this directly impacts many of our community members, their families, and friends. We stand with you, and are donating $1,000,000 over the next four years to the ACLU to defend our constitution. We ask that you continue to be there for each other - and together, continue proving the power of community.

White House says it intentionally left Jews out of Holocaust Memorial statement
he Trump administration on Saturday defended the White House statement on Holocaust Remembrance Day released the previous day following criticism over it not mentioning Jews or anti-Semitism.
Trump spokeswoman Hope Hicks told CNN that "despite what the media reports, we are an incredibly inclusive group and we took into account all of those who suffered."
Hicks reportedly provided a link to a story that noted that while 6 million Jews were killed by Nazis, another 5 million non-Jewish people were killed under Adolf Hitler.
CNN said it asked whether the White House was suggesting Trump omitted a reference to Jews as Holocaust victims out of concern it would offend others targeted by Nazis.
Hicks responded, "it was our honor to issue a statement in remembrance of this important day."
The White House statement mentioned "innocent people" targeted by Nazis but didn't mention Jews or anti-Semitism, which CNN noted drew a contrast from past statements by former Presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama.
The Anti-Defamation League's Jonathan Greenblatt called the omission "puzzling and troubling," noting that it was a departure from past GOP and Democratic presidents.

Wu-Tangs RZA Directed An Episode Of Marvels Iron Fist
According to a Facebook Q&A with Iron Fist star Finn Jones on EXTRA that is being mined for multiple clickbait articles today because of a lack of juicy entertainment stories, rapper, producer, actor, and filmmaker RZA has directed an episode of Marvel’s Iron Fist show, debuting on Netflix in March. Jones revealed the information after talking about the playlist he made to get into the Danny Rand character, which consisted of 90s hip hop.
And actually, one of our episodes was directed by the RZA himself. Episode Six. So yeah there’s a very close tie with hip-hop and the ‘Iron Fist’ series.
Jones praised RZA’s knowledge of the martial arts film genre, which is frequently referenced in Wu-Tang songs, as are Marvel comic books. RZA also co-wrote and directed the 2012 film The Man With The Iron Fists, which is unrelated to the Marvel character, in which he plays a man with actual iron fists.
RZA’s involvement in Iron Fist is the most notable piece of news to come out of the Q&A, but the entertainment media will still manage to squeeze another two or three other stories out of it before the day is done.

Trump Not Enjoying White House as He Feels He Deserves
“Donald Trump holds the most powerful office in the world. But he’s dogged by insecurity over his loss of the popular vote in the election and a persistent frustration that the legitimacy of his presidency is being challenged by Democrats and the media, aides and associates say,” the AP reports.
“Trump’s fixation has been a drag on the momentum of his opening days in office, with his exaggerations about inauguration crowds and false assertions about illegal balloting intruding on advisers’ plans to launch his presidency with a flurry of actions on the economy.”
“The bad press over the weekend has not allowed Trump to ‘enjoy’ the White House as he feels he deserves, according to one person who has spoken with him.”
