Another rocky week in Trump Land.  We drop the Mother of All Bombs – basically to throw a scare into the entire world – but Trump has the best chocolate cake ever.

There are more than 200 anti-Trump Tax Marches across the country, but Trump gives the states the go-ahead to withhold federal funds from Planned Parenthood.

Jon Ossoff seeks Tom Price’s Congressional seat in Georgia’s 6th district, so Trump responds with a baseless Twitter attack.

Slowly but surely, the connections between the Trump campaign and the Russians are coming into focus, but Trump seals the White House visitor logs.

Trump attacks the rightful workings of government, but career public servants are fighting back in different ways.  Read the resignation letter from Michael Cox, who worked at the Environmental Protection Agency for more than 25 years.
