Morning Docket

Morning Docket: 01.30.17

* Uber is the new Chick-Fil-A. [New York Daily News] * Trump administration now says the Muslim ban doesn't apply to green card holders. It'd be funny to watch them defining the parameters of their bigotry if it wasn't so horrifying. [New York Times] * There should be a special place in hell for immigration officials who try to swindle immigrants out of their legal rights. [Policy.Mic] * The ACLU received $24 million in donations this weekend, from 356,306 people. Where the rest of you at? [Washington Post] * Google has created a $4 million "crisis fund" to help fight Trump's Muslim ban. [USA Today] * I keep calling Trump's Muslim ban a "Muslim ban" because it's a goddamn Muslim ban. But if administration officials would like me to call it "Trump's ban on Muslims he doesn't do business with," I'm open to it. [Independent] * I wanted to something unrelated to our country's despicable behavior. All I came up with is getting baked in Maine. [Portland Press Herald]
