Day 46 — March 6: Trump signed a much-anticipated new executive order that restricts travel to the U.S. from six Muslim-majority countries starting March 16. It’s the Trump administration’s second attempt at the controversial ban, which was temporarily halted by a federal judge in February.
The ban blocks individuals from Sudan, Syria, Iran, Libya, Somalia, and Yemen from entering the U.S. Iraq is notably absent from the order this time, and the restrictions no longer include people who already have valid visas or green cards.
House Republicans finally unveiled their plan to replace Obamacare. The big changes are:
eliminating the mandate that forced people to buy health insurance in favor of tax credits to incentivize buying into the market
