<p>1/ <strong>Less than two weeks before Hurricane Harvey, Trump rescinded Obama's coastal flood protections</strong>, which required federal, state, and local agencies to take steps to protect infrastructure from flooding caused by <a href="/trump-epa/">climate change</a>. The <a href="https://obamawhitehouse.archives.gov/the-press-office/2015/01/30/executive-order-establishing-federal-flood-risk-management-standard-and-" target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="external">Federal Flood Risk Management Standard</a> aimed to âreduce the risk and cost of future flood disastersâ and âhelp ensure federal projects last as long as intended." (<a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/trump-executive-order-flooding_us_599323d4e4b04b193360926b" target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="external">HuffPost</a>)</p>
<p>2/ <strong>House Republicans want to cut almost $1 billion from FEMA's disaster relief fund</strong>, which only has $2.3 billion remaining in its budget. Trump, meanwhile, is promising billions to help Texas rebuild from Harvey-caused flooding. The $876 million cut pays for roughly half the cost of Trumpâs down payment on the border wall. (<a href="https://www.apnews.com/9bff1e878fcb46f58f3f6a202984baad/House-GOP-eyeing-%241B-disaster-funds-cut-to-finance-wall" target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="external">Associated Press</a>)</p>
<p>3/ <strong>Contrary to reports, Mattis did not âfreezeâ the transgender ban</strong>. <a href="https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2017/08/29/mattis-orders-pentagon-allow-transgender-troops-continue-serving-pending-study/614711001/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="external">USA Today reported</a> that the defense secretary would delay the implementation of Trumpâs directive and "allow" transgender troops to continue serving in the military while the Pentagon studied the issue. Instead, Mattis is doing what Trump directed him to do in his <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/the-press-office/2017/08/25/presidential-memorandum-secretary-defense-and-secretary-homeland" target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="external">memo</a>, which ordered the secretary of defense and the secretary of homeland security, to âdetermine how to address transgender individuals currently serving in the United States military.â Mattis has until February 21st to submit a plan for implementing the new policy. (<a href="http://www.slate.com/blogs/outward/2017/08/30/mattis_did_not_freeze_trump_s_transgender_troops_ban.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="external">Salon</a> / <a href="https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2017/8/30/16225716/mattis-transgender-military-ban-freeze-statement" target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="external">Vox</a>)</p>
<p>4/ <strong>The Kremlin confirmed that Trumpâs personal lawyer reached out during the 2016 presidential campaign requesting assistance on a stalled Trump Tower real estate project in Moscow</strong>. Putinâs spokesman, Dmitry Peskov, said they received Michael Cohenâs email, but the Kremlin didn't reply. Peskov said that he had seen the email but that it was not given to Putin. (<a href="https://apnews.com/b584e7f4fffe46f6ae4520727f117201" target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="external">Associated Press</a> / <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/kremlin-confirms-it-received-letter-from-trump-lawyer-about-stalled-moscow-real-estate-project-but-did-not-respond/2017/08/30/ee509c0a-8d80-11e7-8df5-c2e5cf46c1e2_story.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="external">Washington Post</a>)</p>
<p>5/ <strong>The Senate Intelligence Committee wants Michael Cohen to testify</strong> as part of its investigation into Russiaâs meddling. Cohen has been in the spotlight this week following new revelations about his outreach to Russian officials for help with a proposal for a Trump Tower in Moscow. Trump Jr. and Paul Manafort are also likely to appear for closed-door interviews. Trump Jr. <a href="https://whatthefuckjusthappenedtoday.com/2017/08/29/day-222/#2-trump-jr-agreed-to-testify-private" target="_blank" class="external">agreed to testify privately</a> before the Senate judiciary committee in the ânext few weeks.â (<a href="http://www.politico.com/story/2017/08/30/michael-cohen-trump-russia-senate-testify-242184" target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="external">Politico</a>)</p>
<p>6/ <strong>Trump called the Senate judiciary committee chairman to pledge policy support for the biofuel ethanol industry</strong>, a key issue for Chuck Grassley. The Iowa senator is investigating Trump Jr.'s meeting with the Russian lawyer. (<a href="https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2017/aug/30/trump-tower-russia-meeting-chuck-grassley" target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="external">The Guardian</a>)</p>
<p>7/ <strong>Trump tweets that "talking is not the answer" when it comes to North Korea</strong>. "The U.S. has been talking to North Korea, and paying them extortion money, for 25 years," Trump tweeted. "Talking is not the answer!" (<a href="http://www.cnn.com/2017/08/30/politics/trump-talking-not-the-answer-north-korea/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="external">CNN</a>)</p>
<div class="jekyll-twitter-plugin">
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">

</blockquote>

</div>
<p>8/ <strong>Mattis contradicted Trump: We're "never out of diplomatic solutions" on North Korea</strong>. Mattis echoed Rex Tillerson's statement that the US would continue its âpeaceful pressureâ campaign on Pyongyang, saying âWe continue to work together, and the minister and I share responsibility to provide for the protection of our nation our populations and our interests, which is what we are here to discuss today." (<a href="http://thehill.com/policy/defense/348539-mattis-responds-to-trump-us-never-out-of-diplomatic-solutions-on-north-korea" target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="external">The Hill</a>)</p>
<p>9/ <strong>The White House will end an Obama-era policy aimed at addressing pay disparities</strong>. The data collection requirement would have required business owners to document how much they pay workers based on their gender, race, and ethnicity. Ivanka Trump, supporting the policy, issued a statement saying: âUltimately, while I believe the intention was good and agree that pay transparency is important, the proposed policy would not yield the intended results." (<a href="https://www.wsj.com/articles/white-house-wont-require-firms-to-report-pay-by-gender-race-1504047656" target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="external">Wall Street Journal</a>)</p>
<p>10/ <strong>A focus group of Pittsburgh-area voters called Trump âoutrageous,â âdishonest,â âdisappointing,â ânarcissistic,â âan abject disappointment,â âunique,â ânot ready to be president,â âoff the scale,â âcrazy,â âunbelievable,â and âcontemptible.â</strong> Five of the group's 12 members voted for Trump. (<a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/first-read/pittsburgh-voters-express-disappointment-trump-n797356" target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="external">NBC News</a> / <a href="http://www.politico.com/story/2017/08/29/trump-pittsburgh-focus-group-242158" target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="external">Politico</a>)</p>
<p>poll/ <strong>20% of Americans under 30 approve of Trump</strong>. Obama's lowest approval rating for people between ages 18-29 was 42%. (<a href="https://www.axios.com/trumps-approval-among-people-under-30-reaches-new-low-2479223836.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="external">Axios</a>)</p>
<p>poll/ <strong>61% of voters oppose shutting down the government in order to fund Trump's border wall</strong>. 28% support a government shutdown for that purpose. (<a href="http://thehill.com/homenews/administration/348502-poll-majority-of-voters-opposes-government-shutdown-for-border-wall" target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="external">The Hill</a>)</p>
