03/28/2017: Trump can’t save coal

Obamacare is the law of the land, so now the GOP is moving on to the federal budget. Easy enough, right? Um, no. Then: President Donald Trump’s latest executive order rolls back several climate regulations. But can deregulation alone save coal? (No, it can’t.) Plus, the latest on Brexit and robots that may be able to predict your death. Happy Tuesday.

President Donald Trump signs an executive order at the Environmental Protection Agency today in Washington, D.C., that reverses the Obama-era climate change policies.
