January 20 marked the day that Donald Trump took the Oath of Office as the 45th President of the United States. From multiple protests around the country, to thousands of supporters in Washington, D.C., memorable speeches and some questionable wardrobes, take a look at what people said during Inauguration Day:

Trump started the day very early, preparing for the ceremony that would “continue the movement, and begin the work.” #PresidentTrump

January 20, 2017, marked the 58th Inaugural Ceremony and the swearing in of President Donald J. Trump. Trump's speech, though brief, focused on what he asserts his 2016 presidential campaign was about: taking power away from the Washington elite, the political establishment, and returning it to the people.

As a young guy it didn’t take me long to figure out how smart Lucy Killea was. She was an extraordinary intellect and a great politician. She was clever and capable of not getting stuck in the ruts that politicians of our generation have unfortunately gotten trapped in. Lucy would often remind me that "knowing WHEN to be right is often as important as simply being right."

The words below are more than 25 years old. I was proud to stand by her in 1991, but I can't imagine any time when her words are more true or more important.

PRESS RELEASE

In the wake of a highly contentious 2016 election, reformers continue to make use of America's general dissatisfaction with the political status quo in order to mend our broken electoral system.

From fighting for ranked choice voting, to opening primaries, and even hosting small forums to ease divides and encourage involvement in politics, many are hard at work to improve the way elections operate. The following updates have been provided by the organizations themselves:

Over the course of 25 years, women’s incarceration has increased drastically, and has reached a point where females are jailed at a rate of nearly 150 percent when compared to men. According to the ACLU, there are now more than 200,000 women behind bars and more than one million women on probation and parole--many of which have been caught up by the “war on drugs,” with heavy sentences for non-violent offenses.

Despite it being seen as a progressive measure, universal health care seems to be a distant dream for America’s left, who are looking at four years of Trump. While it is certainly an admirable pursuit is it actually working in the way Bernie Sanders says it is across the globe? Is it the end of the dream or are we being blinded?

San Diego, CALIF.- If former California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger was the warm-up act, Donald Trump is the headliner.

For outsiders looking to “get into” politics, the 45th President of the United States is an example of what an outsider, with a near perfect, populous message can accomplish.

Our Revolution, an organization started by U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), sent an email to supporters Wednesday, asking them to sign a petition to support California's SB 54, the California Values Act, which would further raise tensions between California and the incoming Trump administration.

Can the resistance movement have a positive impact on the Trump presidency? Might there be blowback? I asked 2016 independent presidential candidate, organizational psychologist, and author,  Lynn S. Kahn, what the pros and cons are of discouraging versus encouraging Trump's administration.

The soon-to-be-vacant congressional seat occupied by Rep. Mike Pompeo (R) has Kansas legislators scrambling. Pompeo’s impending appointment as the CIA director will prompt a special election in Kansas’s 4th Congressional District; a type of election for which the rules have not been updated since the 1950s.
