good morning, it's 14 february 2017

I held this one until after noon Eastern time because I wanted to give the Trump administration the morning to respond to California's second disaster request. No response I can find as of yet.

Also, Flynn resigned, but you know that, so I've not bothered including the story. What's more interesting is Item 13, and the possibility that Acting Attorney General Sally Q. Yates was fired less over the refusal to defend Mr. Trump's illegal EO, and more over her warnings about Mr. Flynn.
