The State of the Union Address
In his annual State of the Union Address, President Obama outlined the most important stories you need to know from the government this year. From protests in Ferguson to ISIS’ gains in Syria and Iraq, the president highlighted some of the key issues facing America today.
One major issue that Obama addressed was gun control. He called for more research into gun violence and reform to make it harder for people with mental health issues to get guns. Obama also called for a ban on assault-style rifles and limits on ammunition magazines.
Another issue that Obama addressed was immigration. He announced new steps to increase security along the US-Mexico border and strengthen enforcement of existing laws. He also called for a pathway to citizenship for undocumented immigrants who have been living in America for at least five years.
There were also several updates on major national security issues. Obama announced that he has ordered airstrikes against ISIS in Iraq and Syria, and expanded training for Iraqi forces. He also plans to expand cyber security efforts and strengthen alliances with countries like Russia to fight global terrorism.
The Mueller Report
Special counsel Robert Mueller’s 448-page report on his investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election was released to the public on Thursday. President Donald Trump has repeatedly called the report a “total disaster,” and he reiterated this sentiment Friday morning. In spite of that, there are some key findings from the report that everyone should know. Here are five of them:
1. The Trump campaign colluded with Russia.
Mueller found that “the Russian government undertook an elaborate effort to interfere in the 2016 U.S. presidential election, including through efforts to help Donald J. Trump win the election.” Mueller also found that “links between members of the Trump campaign and individuals associated with the Russian government were extensive, direct, and well-documented.”
2. The president attempted to obstruct justice.
Mueller found that Trump tried to impede his investigation “multiple times” by, for example, trying to fire Mueller or try to get witnesses to lie about their interactions with the president. Mueller also found that Trump made statements regarding possible obstruction of justice after he was already aware of evidence linking him to those crimes.
3. The president is unfit for office.
The report concludes that “[t]he Office of Special Counsel has determined [Trump] committed unlawful conduct which constitutes grounds for impeachment based upon his obstruction of justice and other serious violations of federal law…[and] [h
Trade Agreements
Trade agreements are a critical part of the global trade system, and they play an important role in facilitating international commerce. The World Trade Organization (WTO) is the body responsible for administering and enforcing trade agreements. The WTO has been working to establish a global trading system that is equitable, rules-based, and open.
The United States is one of the world’s largest economies and a key player in the WTO. The Trump Administration has announced its intention to withdraw from the WTO, which could have major implications for trade negotiations and the global trading system.
Social Media Regulation
Government Gazette is a publication that covers events in the world of politics. This week, they covered important stories you need to know from social media regulation.
The first story is about the Trump administration’s announcement that it plans to repeal Obama-era regulations on social media platforms. The Trump administration has said that these regulations are unfair and are slowing down business growth.
The second story is about a new study that says social media platforms like Facebook and Twitter are contributing to political polarization in the United States. The study found that people who use social media more often tend to be more politically polarized than people who use it less often.
The third story is about a new bill proposed in Congress that would create new rules for how social media companies handle hate speech. The bill would require companies to remove content within 24 hours if it violates their terms of service or community guidelines.
Immigration Policy
In the United States, immigration has been a hot topic for years. There are a number of proposed solutions to this issue, but no clear consensus yet. Some proposals call for a drastic change in the way that immigrants are accepted and treated in the US, while others propose more moderate measures.
Government Gazette takes a look at some of the most important stories from government this week:
-The Trump Administration Plans to End DACA
The Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program was created by former President Barack Obama in 2012 as a way to protect young undocumented immigrants from being deported. In September, President Donald Trump announced that he would end DACA after six months unless Congress comes up with a solution. Supporters of DACA argue that it has helped hundreds of thousands of people live law-abiding and productive lives, while opponents say it is an unconstitutional overreach by the federal government. If DACA is ended, it is unclear what will happen to the 800,000 people currently enrolled in the program.
-Trump Signs Bill That Would Expand Immigration Enforcement
President Trump signed into law on Tuesday a bill that would expand immigration enforcement resources by $1.6 billion over fiscal year 2020 and $25 billion over 10 years. The measure, known as the “Border Security and Immigration Reform Act” or H.R.4274, authorizes funding for border wall construction, increases in Border Patrol agents and detention beds for immigrants who are suspected of being unauthorized immigrants
