What Can Be Gleaned From Trump’s Allegations of Wiretapping
An accusation for which the president again offered no evidence sets off another spasm surrounding his young administration.Reality is intruding into the Trump alt-right bubble.

Tax Credits Are No Substitute for Obamacare
Republican plans to replace Affordable Care Act subsidies with tax credits would shortchange millions of working class Americans.If the proposed program is realized the Republicans will be out in 2018.

Public Lands in Private Hands?
If Ryan Zinke, the new interior secretary, believes in conservation, let him prove it.A forest with roads is not wild.
"Great Outdoors Man" is not a compliment.
They get a campfire with a chainsaw.
Almost all of the public lands were not desired by the states.
Let them remain with the federal government and be mostly undeveloped.
There is no right to profit.
