See you in court: 100 days in, California suing Trump at almost double pace of his first term

IN ITS FIRST hundred days, through a series of executive orders, the Trump administration has reimagined this country’s social contract with its citizens.

Its 139 executive orders issued since Jan. 20 form an outline of American life as imagined by its most conservative residents, concentrating power in a unitary executive who can force changes as transformative as the New Deal.
