The issues are many (and richly documented), each filled with dozens of questions, such as the one Keala asked. If you really want, I can (or fellow commenters can) create a list for any issue you choose that features Sanders/Spicer stonewalling journalists (who are your representatives; these are the people trying to get information from them for you). Just pick an issue, though, and I'll give you the first 3 questions I'd ask from a journalistic perspective. Following Keala's lead, we can start with the ban on transgender military service people ... 1. Who exactly will be affected by this policy; at what precise stage of transgender transformation will they be considered unfit for duty? Why? 2. How will this policy be implemented and to what depth? In other words, does this apply to every service person at every level of the military, including an admin assistant in some remote outpost? 3. How does this approach align with / or reject U.S. military history: https://goo.gl/7RYmfa?
