1. Travel ban redux
With a new Donald Trump ban on travel from six Muslim-majority countries set to go into effect at midnight, advocates prepared for airport showdowns and mounted court challenges, arguing the new ban is discriminatory.
2. Life interrupted
Nagi Ali and Arwa al-Abili are a young couple kept apart by 9,000 miles, a pending final visa interview, her Yemeni citizenship – and they will probably be plunged into indefinite limbo on Thursday when the president’s updated travel ban comes into effect.

4. Trump’s 2005 taxes
Tax documents were revealed late Tuesday showing Trump claimed more than $100m in business losses – significantly reducing his tax burden – and that the biggest tax he faced is one he now wants to eliminate.

6. Journalist’s family harassed
Trump fans call & harass my wife & 1 of my children after I break story White House confirmed. Sad! Let's have open debate, not threats.

7. Trump v Snoop
The president lashed out at Snoop Dogg, the co-host (with Martha Stewart) of Martha & Snoop’s Potluck Dinner Party, for a music video in which the rapper “fires” a toy gun at a clown named Ronald Klump.
Jail time! ft Snoop Dogg
Can you imagine what the outcry would be if @SnoopDogg, failing career and all, had aimed and fired the gun at President Obama? Jail time!
