PROBLEM: NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- U.S. President Barack Obama set his green plan into action Monday, potentially reversing several Bush-era decisions on global warming and fuel efficiency. U.S. President Barack Obama signs orders Monday on vehicle emissions and fuel efficiency standards. In his first major environmental acts as president, Obama directed his Environmental Protection Agency to review a California application to regulate greenhouse gases and told his Department of Transportation to begin implementing fuel efficiency standards passed last year but not implemented by the Bush administration. He also pushed for passage of the $825 billion economic stimulus package in the House and Senate. Those bills include money for investments in renewable energy, conservation and a better electric grid.Obama orders review of California request to regulate greenhouse gasesU.S. president orders government to implement fuel efficiency standardsAutomakers oppose plan as an expensive patchwork of lawsFormer President George W.

PROBLEM: (CNN) There is a story, popular among British politicians and attributed to the Australian strategist Lynton Crosby, known as "The Dead Cat." A CEO is confronted with poor statistics at a board meeting, and to divert attention from this unpleasant news, he suddenly pulls out a dead cat and throws it onto the middle of the table. In the words of Boris Johnson, now the UK foreign secretary: "There is one thing that is absolutely certain about throwing a dead cat on the table -- and I don't mean that people will be outraged, alarmed, disgusted. That is true, but irrelevant. The key point... is that everyone will shout, 'Jeez, mate, there's a dead cat on the table!' In other words, they will be talking about the dead cat -- the thing you want them to talk about -- and they will not be talking about the issue that has been causing you so much grief."Kate Maltby: To distract from his negative media coverage, Trump created a Twitter storm over Mike Pence at "Hamilton"But Trump threatened freedom of expression; his tweets need a strong response from editors nationwide, writes Maltby

PROBLEM: (CNN) The inspector general for the Department of Homeland Security has opened an investigation into an allegation by a Transportation Security Administration official that he was instructed to racially profile Somali-Americans. The DHS Office of Inspector General announced the investigation in a short statement on Thursday. It did not provide further details. Andrew Rhoades, the current TSA assistant federal security director at Minneapolis-Saint Paul International Airport, testified before the House Oversight Committee last week that he was told by his superior to profile Somali-Americans. Minneapolis has one of the nation's largest Somali populations. At the Minneapolis TSA administrative office, Rhoades said he often assists Somali travelers having difficulties traveling by directing them to apply to the Department of Homeland Security Traveler Redress Inquiry program. The program is for individuals who have questions or need help resolving difficulties they experienced during their travel screening at transportation hubs -- such as airports and train stations -- or crossing U.S. borders.Andrew Rhoades testified before a House panel that he was told to profile Somali-AmericansMinneapolis has one of the nation's largest Somali populations
