We're halfway through week one of Donald Trump's presidency. So far, we've experienced Sean Spicer's "abnormal" press conference, an executive order to withdraw from the Trans-Pacific Partnership, separate meetings with the President of Egypt and union leaders, another executive order to advance the approval of oil pipelines, andnot one tax return.
And then there's a gag order on the Environmental Protection Agency. And today? Oh, just an order to start building that border wall, and a big change to the U.S. policy on refugees.
This hour, we review America's new normal, and the media's response to it all.
And, the latest on funding state pensions, the squashed Aetna-Humana merger, and plans to deal with skyrocketing drug prices in Connecticut.
