Genuine question: is there any precedent for a Presidential executive order -- or just its implications -- being adopted so fast and so widely across the government?
The National Park Service eliminated references to transgender people from its Stonewall National Monument web page, removing the “T” in references to LGBTQ+ on the official site for the Greenwich Village monument, which marks a milestone in the fight for gay rights.

If you listen to one interview today, choose this one.
Jesse Eisenberg says when he was a kid, bar mitzvahs made his stomach turn. "Why are we celebrating this kid and giving them the kind of false illusion that they've done some great deed for the world by learning seven seconds of Hebrew?"
In 'A Real Pain,' Jesse Eisenberg asks: What is the purpose of 'tragedy tourism'?
Eisenberg's film follows two cousins on a Jewish heritage tour of Poland, which includes a stop at the Majdanek death camp. The story draws on his own family history — and his struggle with OCD.
