Q: Rex Tillerson could be on  his  way to serving one of the shortest tenures of any Secretary of State in U.S. history.
âThere are no personnel announcements at this time â White House spokesman Sarah Huckabee Sanders said in a statement. â Secretary Tillerson  continues to lead the State Department and the entire cabinet is focused on completing this incredibly successful first year of President Trumpâs administration.â
âHeâs here.  Rex  is here â he said.
If  Tillerson  leaves in the next few months   he  would likely be viewed as one of the most underperforming secretaries of State in U.S. history with one of the shortest tenures to boot  say experts on American foreign policy.
âIt will ratify what is emerging as almost a consensus view that  Rex Tillerson  was the worst Secretary of State in modern time â said Paul Musgrave  a political science professor at the University of Massachusetts-Amherst who studies American foreign policy. âI actually think there is a good case to be made  ever.â
If  Tillerson  leaves in the next few weeks   he  will have served for roughly a year  inordinately short for a first-term Secretary of State in the modern era. The last three first-term secretaries of State â Warren Christopher  Colin Powell and Hillary Clinton â all remained in their posts for the entire term.
Aside from his short time in office   Tillerson  has little to show as accomplishments.

Q: in restaurants to offer customers plastic straws without first being asked . Since introducing his bill last week    Democratic Assemblyman Ian Calderon  has been the target of scorn from critics who call  his  proposal " absurd " and an overreach of government . " It really is a reasonable measured approach that I think will make a difference  "  Calderon  told ABC News on Monday about  his  proposed bill . California State Asssembly  He  explained that when  he  sent the proposal to the state legislative rules committee   health and safety code penalties were automatically tacked on   making it a misdemeanor punishable by six months in jail and a $ 1   000 fine for dine - in restaurants caught offering plastic straws without being requested . " I didn ' t actually ask for penalties  " Calderon said . " They were more or less prescribed to my bill by the code section ." But critics immediately jumped on him . Assemblyman Travis Allen   a Republican candidate for governor of California   asked people on his campaign Facebook page to protest the bill by flooding Calderon ' s office with plastic straws . California State Assembly " Instead of tackling the real issues   today ' s California Democrats are more interested in giving jail time to waiters offering their customers the convenience of having a straw  " Allen told ABC News on Monday . " This is one absurd bill   but it highlights how ridiculous the California Democrats have gotten . This is clearly the last straw ." Paul Preston said such laws are the reason he co - founded a movement to break up the state and form a New California   where regulations aren ' t overbearing and discouraging to businesses . " It ' s absolute lunacy  " Preston told ABC News of  Calderon  ' s bill . " They are criminalizing everything we do . It ' s over the top ."  Calderon  brushed off the bashing   saying an estimated 500 million plastic straws are used every day in the United States and most are just used once and discarded .  He  said plastic straws and stirrers were the sixth most common items collected during California Coastal Cleanup Days between 1989 and 2014 . " We need to create awareness around the issue of one - time use of plastic straws and its detrimental effects on our landfills   waterways and oceans  " Calderon said . STOCK PHOTO / Getty Images He said he ' ll work to get the bill ' s language rewritten so that no one fears going to jail or paying hefty fines for handing out plastic straws . He said he expects the bill to reach Gov . Jerry Brown ' s desk for approval in about two months . " Nobody is going to jail   nobody is going to be getting a $ 1   000 fine  " said Calderon   adding that the bill does not affect fast - food restaurants or grocery stores . He said critics like Allen are " grasping at straws " by saying such legislation is hurting businesses in California . " It ' s a ridiculous argument  " he said . Sharokina Shams -- a spokeswoman for the California Restaurant Association   which represents more than 20   000 restaurants in the state -- told ABC News her group is taking a wait - and - see approach on  Calderon  ' s bill . " The association will study the bill ' s potential impacts and consult with its membership before taking an officials stance on the bill  " said Shams   adding that  Calderon  ' s proposal " is preferable to an outright ban on straws ." Matt Davis   a spokesman for the national environmental group Clean Water Action   said Calderon ' s proposal makes sense . " It ' s great he ' s doing it  " Davis told ABC News . " It does reduce the amount of straws that restaurants are giving out and that ' s a good thing ." He said cities such as Alameda   California   have passed local straws - on - request ordinances and that many restaurants have saved money by not having to provide so many straws . He compared it to the plastic shopping bag ban passed by California voters in 2016 or water - on - request ordinances used to combat the state ' s drought   saying people got used to it . In New Jersey   too   local businesses have been participating in an initiative to reduce plastic straw use . And it has dramatically reduced the number of straws the companies are giving out   according to the Montclair Local . A local eatery said it was using about a tenth of the straws it had previously used on a monthly basis   from 6   800 straws to 650   the paper reported . Back in California   Davis said Calderon ' s concerns that plastic straws are fouling up the ocean are real . " There is going to be more plastic in the ocean than there are fish by 2050  " Davis said   citing a study by the Ellen MacArthur Foundation that was presented to the World Economic Forum in 2016 . He said that plastic breaks down into minute particles that fish mistake for food . " I don ' t want plastic in my sushi  " he said .

Q: Actor John Bradley  who plays Sam  Tarly  told TV Guide that characters are going to keep being pushed by new elements and traveling the seven kingdoms deeper and faster than ever before.
"Each of the characters this year is placed in a completely alien environment at some point in the season that they've never been placed in before "  Bradley  said. "The thrill is seeing how they react to it and how they respond... This season  I think  more than any other is stretching these characters."
But  Bradley 's comments are intriguing from a character perspective. An alien environment isn't necessarily a physical place; it's an unfamiliar situation (Arya  no longer sniffing out traitors)  an important task (Cersei trying to play nice with others)  or a new threat (White! Walkers!).
"The stakes definitely feel ramped up  " Bradley  told TV Guide. "We know that we've got a real job to do. This has been a part of people's lives for so many years. This is our eighth season  and we are kind of feeling the pressure to get it right because we want to satisfy people...we just kind of want to give them an ending that they deserve."
