* US directs State Department to cut UN budget by 1 billion in retaliation for condemnation of US decision to move Israel capital to Jerusalem.

* Trump rolls back rules to prevent oils spills along US coasts.

* Sessions ignores 14th Amendment prohibiting jailing people for non-payment of court fines and fees without safeguards and supports debtor prisons and license suspensions for non-payment of fines/fees.

* Trump cites Arctic blast as proof against global warming. Really?

* Trump terminates all 16 members of Presidential Advisory Council on HIV/AIDS, via FedEx, looking for more favorable replacements. (maybe)

* Trump spends almost 1/3 of his presidency golfing, enriching himself (illegally) and costing taxpayers at least $42,510,956. http://trumpgolfcount.com/.  But there’s no money for Childrens’ Health Insurance Program.
