Donald Trump has pulled the U.S. out of the Paris Agreement, much to the chagrin of millions of Americans, the world, and Mother Earth. By exiting, we join the illustrious ranks of Syria, Nicaragua, and, oh wait that’s it, as the only nations not part of the Agreement. Trump thinks that exiting Paris will keep the world from laughing at us. Ummm ... that’s not the reason the rest of the world is laughing at us right now, homie. Next Wednesday, it may be former FBI DirectorJames Comey who gets the last laugh as he is expected to testify unless the president attempts to invoke executive privilege. Though if he has nothing to hide, why would he? Comey’s testimony would be the biggest moment to date in the controversy that has engulfed the Trump administration since day one (or really before day one). As the world turns, governors representing some of the most diverse states, mayors of color, business leaders, and Kevin Durant (Warriors beat the Cavs in game 1 of the NBA finals) are providing the leadership our country isn’t getting from its president. Here's what's up for the weekend:
- No drama Obama is pissed.
- Trump heads to SCOTUS.
- Mayors buck the administration on Paris Climate Accord.
- MALDEF sues Texas.
- Chris Lu worries about admin policies hurting AAPI community.
- CoS for Congresswoman Terri A. Sewell (D-AL) lands her on Ways and Means.
- Cities regulate boost for minority owners in the weed biz.
- A story about a**holes.
