2. The trump 4 administration is reversing an Obama-era directive by announcing his plan to revoke 5 federal guidelines telling public schools to let transgender students use bathrooms that match their chosen gender 6 identity. Few details are available, but the White House says the matter should be handled at the state level.
3. President Trump is sending Rex Tillerson as top diplomat 7 , and John Kelly, his homeland security chief on a fence-mending mission to Mexico.

4. NASA has announced the discovery of seven earth-sized planets, orbiting the star at the size of Jupiter , just 40 light year away, where three of those seven plants exist in the so-called habitable zone, where water or possibly some form of life might exist.
