Summary

President Trump flew to Texas today to visit the heart of the oil and gas industry, and he signed two controversial executive orders while he was there.

Congress just banned the IRS from ever offering a free tax filing service. Also on today’s episode: a legend in the NBA is retiring and we finally get a peek at a black hole.
