Often obscured under the avalanche of news and the clouds of intrigue, President Trump and his appointees continue to systematically deconstruct the administrative state.
Five stories that published on Monday highlight policy shifts that may adversely impact the lives of an untold number of immigrants, minorities and children — as well as people who have health insurance and take out loans.
1. Separating immigrant parents from their children
2. Rolling back anti-segregation rules at HUD
3. Clawing back funding for the Children’s Health Insurance Program
4. The repeal of the individual mandate is contributing to rising premiums for sick people
5. Gutting the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau

"2. Rolling back anti-segregation rules at HUD:
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development quietly put a three-page notice in the Federal Register in January to suspend an Obama-era rule requiring communities to examine and address barriers to racial integration. HUD Secretary Ben Carson, who has long criticized federal efforts to desegregate American neighborhoods as “failed socialist experiments,” is now allowing local and state governments to continue receiving grants even if they don’t comply with the full requirements of the 1968 Fair Housing Act."

Thanks for bringing this stuff up, JR. The countless ways Trump is ripping off the American people and gutting our protections is lost in the constant tornadoe of lies, gross incompetence, insanity, and outright lawlessness of this administration. How can anyone be ok with Trump allowing industry to pollute our drinking water? I thought at least THAT would draw criticism from Trump supporters, but, incredibly, they actually defended it. Trump's statement about shooting someone on 5th Avenue was the truest thing he ever said.
It's unfettered capitalism allowed to run amok. The Libertarians all have a raging hard-on right now
you aint seen nothing yet, that was only 17months.
when a political party drags the overton window too far left? the resulting rightlash goes off the charts to the right.
it was predictable and it was predicted by me in 2008 (posted a hundred times on newsvine by "surfs-up, truth_hurts, captainobvioussays and every other name I had to create while being banned for posting truth)
but the liberal progressives just laughed at me.
they are not laughing now are they?
Cheers
So... You like for your children to have to drink polluted water then?
saying "the sun will come up" does not mean I want, need, or will ever even get a sunburn.
play with your imagination elsewhere.
Frederic Bastiat correctly refuted this false conclusion by you Socialists in his famous Treatise, The Law in 1850
“Socialism, like the ancient ideas from which it springs, confuses the distinction between government and society. As a result of this, every time we object to a thing being done by government, the socialists conclude that we object to its being done at all. We disapprove of state education. Then the socialists say that we are opposed to any education. We object to a state religion. Then the socialists say that we want no religion at all. We object to a state-enforced equality. Then they say that we are against equality. And so on, and so on. It is as if the socialists were to accuse us of not wanting persons to eat because we do not want the state to raise grain"
Comment removed NV policy (no violation) [ph]
what others think about me is none of my business
but the fact remains..
unlike this site... Comment removed for NV policy/ no violation [ph]
I only need one name on this site to take your arguments apart.
Cheers
that's good
have a nice life
So....Libertarians...please tell me what you will do when you get poisoned by beef that hasn't been inspected? When your five year old needs a new kidney because of the E. coli infection he acquired because the USDA inspector disappeared? Sue the company? No you won't. You won't be allowed to.
You are getting fucked in the ass without lube. Unfortunately, the rest of us are getting raped, too
Nothing prevents butchers and markets from doing the testing or paying companies to do testing and inspection
statists worship government as the only means of providing quality of life
You trust them to actually hire their own inspectors?
LOL. He would have millions of people get sick and/or die in service of his "Live Free Or Die" philosophy. More like "Live Free AND Die"
Self regulation rarely works.
Government control seldom works
It does help a lot to cook the meat and thoroughly wash the veggies. Food inspections aren't going away since they are essential. Skirting the CoC [ph]
What? Don't have the gonads to call me a fool to my face?
If libertarians get their way, all regulations will be trash canned and that includes food inspections. Don't believe me? Go do some research on libertarian-ism
Then I guess the TSA is worthless, huh?
Where did I advocate government control? Why do people jump to absurd conclusions.
Actually, the TSA is pretty worthless.
LOL! you're right
You did.
You're lying. I asked where I said that and your answer was "You did".
Not only is it a lie, its a lie that doesn't make sense.
Of course you did
Self regulation rarely works.
That leaves government control as the alternative
Only if you lack imagination and critical thinking skills.
And Grannies will die and we'll all be eating catfood...etc.
I've lived since waaaaay before Trump, and I'm still here. Somehow, I've managed to miss all this "Dirty Water","Bad Beef" and Poisoned Air crap always being spouted !
How do I do it !
We have federally mandated food inspections.
Really ?
Yet even then....."OTHER" folks STILL get sick.
Go figure !
You've been lucky. Others have been severely impacted, but never mind them.
It's that mentality of I've got mine screw you
Yep. Here's an interesting article regarding water in the US.
And, Flint still does not have drinkable tap water...
For sure, they don't and many of their kids are forever altered by the lead exposure. It's utterly shameful that people think it's just fine to remove environmental regulations meant to protect our air and water.
There is a problem with small, rural water systems. Regionalization would help but in red states, these small communities don't want to give up their autonomy for clean water...AND....payments from water bills tend to be a cash cow for many small communities. When the small communities can't find the money to upgrade their treatment plants, they will be forced to tie on to a larger community and regionalization will happen.
The Flint situation is actually quite complicated. It involves corrupt city and state officials and lack of due diligence.
And those lead pipes should have been replaced years ago. That mandate was part of the Lead and Copper Rule
Source please.
No "Luck" involved.
wah! wah! wah! I'm so hurt!!!!!!!!
True, but the Democrats and the unions ruled that state and especially Detroit for decades.
Sure...you have full control over your water source then? How about the food you buy and the air you breathe...is all that in your complete control? Do you do your own testing?
You have been lucky.
Never had one issue with any of those on your list, and NO, it has nothing to do with LUCK !
LUCK would come in if I was the 1 of 1,000 person out of 300 million people that didn't have a problem with your listed items.
What does it have to do with then?
How can you deny that you've been lucky to not have had your water source and air polluted to the point you become ill? Do you think those who have were were somehow to blame for the problem?
It's all about who is running the show in your State, County, City or town you live in.
I suppose that means we have good folks running our show.
Wow. You've been around a while. Remember when the Cuyahoga River caught fire? I do.
Seems the City had a leadership problem huh !
One name comes to mind:
Mayor Carl Stokes, a BIG (D) representative and leader of Cleveland !
Oh good grief, now we descend into the idiotic "what ifs"....
Really?
Is that all you have?
It's all I needed! Cheers!
Let’s hope it continues!
Of course Trump needs to butcher the limbs off of the federal government. How else could he possibly make up for the enormous tax giveaway to the rich?
What tax giveaway, and their are more rich liberals than there are Republicans.
It’s not the government’s money to “give away”.
It once was the government's money. Now the government has less of it to fund Scott Pruitt's lavish lifestyle.
Says every totalitarian ever.
No, it was people's money the gubment confiscated.
Barack Obama is The Most Admired Most Respected Man in the World and Trump isn't.
Zero Obama campaign or administration officials ever indicted for malfeasance in office.
Already not true of Trump just a year and a half in but his indictments are only begun.
If Obama were like Stalin, Hitler and Mussolini he'd be in prison not golfing in Hawaii...
Or else, Trump and his Justice Department are the most incompetent in all of history.
Kinda like that rainbow shart spreading from dark brown to light beige on back of Trump's tennis shorts.
Because you celebrate that good man's good works being systematically undone out of spite I pity you.
Why do you hate your fellows so much that poor workers going without medical care makes you happy?
Supply Side Economics is working perfectly. The wealth continues to concentrate and the people's government continues its rise of debt.
The 'deep state' of Trumpism continues unfettered because Americans have acquiesced and the GOP is afraid of the bastard child it sired.
Yes it is. The already incredibly wealthy oligarch class and big multinational corporations are raking it in like never before just the way the Austrian economists of olde planned it to work butt that is not how olde Milton Friedman and olde Ronnie Raygun sold it to the American People. Gold was supposed to be raining down upon the preinially overtaxed working class of folks here in America finally once the ultra wealthy were finally satiated but then it turns out the ultra wealthy and big corporations are never ever satiated. That is why John Maynard Keynes is The Father of Modern Economics and Milton Friedman is not. There is one little problem with olde Mlitie's and Ronnie's plan to rip off working Americans. That is when voters finally figure out it is not raining gold. The gop is pissing on them. Golden Shower Anyone? Trump and the gop have just begun. If you want more of the same and are happy with your tiny tax break vote for the gop. If you think you deserve a big break for once then vote for Democrats on November the 6th...
It's not just his appointees. I can't help but wonder how I missed the election where Sean Hannity was elected president.
