Here’s your dose of ‘What the Fuck is Going On’ News (1/25/2017 edition)

• Trump signed an executive order to begin the construction of “a large physical barrier” along the border. The executive order also included the boosting of border patrol forcers and increasing the number if immigration enforcement officers who can carry out deportations. There is still currently no mention of how this wall will be funded.

• Trump also signed an executive order to crackdown on “sanctuary cities.“ Punishment to this cities will mean that there will be ineligible from receiving federal grants. The same executive order also called for an additional 10,000 immigration officers to be deployed across the U.S. (source)
• Trump is expected to sign an executive order soon that would block the entry of refugees from war-torn Syria and suspend the entry of any immigrants from Muslim-majority Middle Eastern and African countries such as Syria, Sudan, Somalia, Iraq, Iran, Libya and Yemen. (source)
• Trump is still falsely claiming that millions of voters voted illegally and has announced that there will be an investigation into voter fraud. Stating his true intentions – to "strengthen up voting procedures” which will likely go after voter rights and implement stricter voting laws. Laws that disenfranchise millions of voters, specifically people of color, lower income people, and people with disabilities. (source)
• Trump is also preparing to sign an executive order that would reduce the US funding of the United Nations and other international organizations that don’t meet a certain criteria. The executive order will also repeal certain multilateral treaties, likely treaties on climate change. (source)
• In Texas, State Rep. Tony Tinderholt proposed House Bill 948, also called the Abolition of Abortion in Texas Act. The proposal does not exclude those who become pregnant from rape or incest. Tinderholt also denies that the bill is about making abortion illegal, instead it’s about changing the criminal penal code to extend to those who seek abortion. It would extend the homicide laws to include abortion and Tinderholt seeks to punish all those involved, meaning both sexual partners could face charges if they both were involved in the decision to get an abortion. “The reality is that if the father is in any way involved in the conspiracy to end the life of a human being — communication with an abortion doctor, transportation, facilitation — he will be held accountable.” (source)
• Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort doubled it’s initiation fees to $200,000 now that Trump has been elected president. Trump plans to spend much of his time as president at the resort calling it his “Winter White House.” The Trump Organization owns the resort, now in control by Donald Trump Jr., and is very blatantly exploiting Trump’s position as president for profit.
