Published on Jan 17, 2018 by PBS NewsHour
Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., says a Wednesday meeting with White House Chief of Staff John Kelly didn’t bring Congress any closer to an immigration deal. While some lawmakers say there’s time before a March deadline to address DACA, Durbin says that attitude is “just plain wrong.” Judy Woodruff talks with Durbin about the contentious negotiations and President Trump’s disparaging remarks.
Over the past year, more than 700 EPA employees have quit their jobs or taken retirement buyouts. According to Steve Hopkins, who worked at the EPA for 15 years, that’s unprecedented.
Betsy Southerland is one of the EPA employees who left the agency last year. She laments the way Administrator Scott Pruitt and political appointees cut career EPA employees out of major policy decisions.
Environmental regulations are just part of what the EPA does to help communities, says Mustafa Santiago Ali, who quit his job at the agency in March after serving as the head of the EPA’s environmental justice program. Agency employees also build trust with marginalized communities who need help dealing with environmental contamination. “That's why we need to have a strong EPA. Because when we don't, we weaken our country,” Ali told VICE News. “We have to address these public health issues and these environmental issues, if we truly want to have our country to be all that it's supposed to be.”
To find just how the EPA has been doing in Trump and Pruitt’s first year, VICE News gathered around a campfire with four employees who left the agency in 2017, and one current union representative. The result was a frank discussion between former federal employees who worked at the agency for decades — fueled by a marshmallow roast.

All In with Chris Hayes 1/17/18
Ever since Michael Wolff's groundbreaking book on the Trump administration was released, the burning question has been: why did they ever let him in to wander the White House in the first place?
Rachel Maddow laments the days not very long ago during the Obama administration when petty spats with the media and alleged affairs with porn stars were not among the top headlines related to the presidency.
Rachel Maddow reports on new details about how Mueller's subpoena prevents Steve Bannon from testifying fully to Congress, and the questions surrounding the peculiar way that Bannon was subpoenaed by both Robert Mueller and the House Intel Committee.
Representative Adam Schiff talks with Rachel Maddow about the different treatment that Steve Bannon is receiving from the White House and Trump Russia investigations, and why.
Rachel Maddow points out that while Americans may not be interested in Donald Trump's lack of marital fidelity, the question of where the money came from to reportedly pay women to keep quiet about their affairs is an important question.
Jacob Weisberg, editor-in-chief of the Slate Group, talks with Rachel Maddow about how Stormy Daniels played the weird market for Trump infidelity stories and where the hush money actually came from.
Rachel Maddow alerts viewers that the House Intelligence Committee will vote on Thursday on whether to release the transcript of seven hours of Fusion GPS testimony to that committee.
Rachel Maddow reports on the unexpected victory of Democrat Patty Schachtner in a special state senate election for a long-Republican seat, and points out that Donald Trump is rushing in a panic to support an upcoming special election candidate.

How did Michael Wolff get access to Trump White House?
The 11th Hour with Brian Williams 1/18/18
Ever since 'Fire and Fury,' Michael Wolff's explosive book on the Trump presidency, was published, all of Washington has wondered how did he get such access to the Trump White House. Veteran reporter Jennifer Jacobs of Bloomberg News joins with answers.
Cameras caught the tense moment inside the Oval Office where Donald Trump pointed at CNN correspondent Jim Acosta, and told him to get out.
Trump was with President Nursultan Nazarbayev of Kazakhstan when he kicked Acosta out, after the reporter asked him a question relating to his 's***hole countries' controversy.
Acosta, CNN's Chief White House Correspondent, has traded many jabs with the president and his communications staff since the start of their administration, with Trump constantly referring to his employers as the 'Fake News Network'.

A password for the Hawaii emergency agency was hiding in a public photo, written on a Post-it note A false alert warning of an inbound missile was broadcast in Hawaii on Saturday. Since then, people have discovered that a photo taken in Hawaii's Emergency Management Agency for a news article in July includes a sticky note with a password. Hawaii says the alert was sent was because "an employee pushed the wrong button," not because of a hack, but the photo has sparked criticism about the agency's level of security. http://www.businessinsider.com/hawaii-emergency-agency-password-discovered-in-photo-sparks-security-criticism-2018-1

Jared Kushner reportedly warned that his close friend Wendi Deng Murdoch may be a Chinese spy Jared Kushner, senior adviser to President Donald Trump, was reportedly warned by US intelligence that his close friend Wendi Deng Murdoch could be a Chinese Spy. The US regularly briefs new administrations on possible foreign agents they associate with, and much of China’s business interaction with the US is examined as a possible national security threat.

FBI agents visited Steve Bannon’s home last week to discuss subpoena in Russia probe [...] The subpoena compels Bannon to testify before a grand jury, skipping the voluntary interview with Mueller's team that many in Trump's orbit have elected to take. But Mueller may still leave open the option for an interview in lieu of grand jury testimony. Bannon is likely to accept such an interview if it is made available, according to a source close to Bannon. Three people familiar with the special counsel’s investigation suggested Mueller moved to subpoena Bannon, rather than ask him to voluntarily appear for questioning, in order to thwart any potential attempt by the White House to pressure Bannon into refusing to cooperate. Bannon revealed he’d been subpoenaed by the grand jury when he met with lawmakers Tuesday behind closed doors on Capitol Hill, where he was questioned for more than 10 hours. During the course of questioning, Bannon told members of the House Intelligence Committee that the White House had instructed him not to answer questions related to his tenure in the administration and the transition period, citing a desire to exert executive privilege. The committee responded by issuing a separate subpoena to compel his responses to lawmakers. Bannon is expected to be more forthcoming with Mueller’s team. “He’ll answer any questions” Mueller wants to ask, one source close to Bannon told NBC News.

It's Even Worse Than You Think: What the Trump Administration Is Doing to America (Hardcover) The Trump administration is remaking the government. It's Even Worse Than You Think: What the Trump Administration Is Doing to America tells readers exactly how it is making America worse again. http://www.booktable.net/book/9781501174162
After the Fire and Fury: what's next for books about Trump? The runaway success of Michael Wolff’s takedown of the president has led to a sales bump for many other books on The Donald [...] It’s Even Worse Than You Think: What the Trump Administration Is Doing to America by David Cay Johnston
This is not a love letter to the Donald. Johnston, a journalist who’s tracked Trump for 30 years, analyzes how the current administration is remaking the federal government in Donald’s image and, wait for it, “making America worse again”. Johnston describes the Trump administration as “political termites who have infested our government … destroying it from within and compromising our jobs, safety, finances, and more”. If the book is half as entertaining as this editorial review, it promises to be a keeper. According to Johnston, the border wall will be financed by a tariff, which means American citizens will ultimately foot the bill through higher prices on Mexican goods – your Corona will be so expensive you won’t be able to afford the lime.

White House official: House intel panel broke an agreement on limiting scope of questions for Bannon The White House believed it had an agreement with the House Intelligence Committee to limit questions for Steve Bannon only to events on the presidential campaign, a White House official told CNBC. According to the official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, staffers for the committee and the White House on Friday discussed the parameters of Bannon's testimony. Asked if negotiations over Bannon's testimony are ongoing as of Wednesday morning, the official said: "There's no negotiation now, they haven't engaged with us." https://www.cnbc.com/2018/01/17/white-house-official-house-intel-broke-agreement-on-bannon-questions.html
White House says phone call with Bannon's lawyer during testimony was 'standard procedure' The White House confirmed that it spoke with Steve Bannon's lawyers in the middle of his 10-plus-hour testimony to the House Intelligence Committee. Press secretary Sarah Sanders did not specify if the move constitutes "executive privilege." Asked if the White House was afraid of what Bannon might say, Sanders replied, "not that I'm aware of." https://www.cnbc.com/2018/01/17/white-house-responds-to-questions-about-bannons-testimony.html
Bannon reportedly told House panel he talked to Priebus, Spicer about June 2016 Trump Tower meeting with Russians Steve Bannon told House Intelligence Committee members that he had conversations with top Trump administration staffers about the June 2016 Trump Tower meeting, Axios reports. Bannon's lawyer had announced that questions beyond the scope of the 2016 presidential campaign would not be answered. The slip-up came within the first 90 minutes of the testimony, Axios reports. https://www.cnbc.com/2018/01/17/bannon-talked-with-priebus-spicer-about-trump-tower-meeting-axios.html
Mueller's subpoena could give Bannon some cover in Trump probe, legal experts say Steve Bannon has been subpoenaed by special counsel Robert Mueller to testify before a grand jury, NBC and The New York Times report. It's the first instance of a close ally of President Donald Trump's being subpoenaed in the investigation of potential contacts between the Trump campaign and Russia. White-collar crime experts can only speculate on the reason for the special counsel's decision. https://www.cnbc.com/2018/01/16/mueller-subpoena-could-give-bannon-some-cover-in-trump-russia-probe.html
