'Chaos and illegal activity:' Rep. Pingree blasts Pres. Trump's first 2 weeks in office

The article from MSN, originally published by the Bangor Daily News, discusses Representative Chellie Pingree's critique of President Donald Trump's first two weeks in office. Pingree, a Democrat from Maine, described the period as marked by "chaos and illegal activity." She highlighted several controversial actions by Trump, including the abrupt firing of acting Attorney General Sally Yates for refusing to defend his executive order on immigration, which was later blocked by a federal judge. Pingree also criticized Trump's executive orders on immigration and refugees, his unsubstantiated claims of voter fraud, and his administration's handling of the National Security Council, where Steve Bannon was given a role traditionally reserved for military leaders. Furthermore, she expressed concerns over the potential negative impacts of Trump's policies on Maine's economy, particularly in sectors like tourism and agriculture, due to his immigration policies and proposed budget cuts.
