Now on Twitter: Chelsea Clinton, Unbound

Is her confrontational tweeting about the Trump administration a sign of the new Chelsea Clinton or a public unveiling of the one who existed all along?

American government is not dynastic.
Chelsea Clinton must be elected to hold representative or executive power in government.
Idle curiosity does not empower.

President Trump’s Reckless Shame Game

Forcing local authorities to help round up unauthorized immigrants is wrong on both practical and constitutional grounds.

"Federal courts have repeatedly ruled that the local police cannot be forced to honor a detainer in violation of the Constitution. That is, without an arrest warrant from a judge. Which an ICE detainer is not."

The Upshot

Late G.O.P. Proposal Could Mean Plans That Cover Aromatherapy but Not Chemotherapy

A problem with stripping away minimum benefit rules is that the whole idea of “health insurance” starts to become murky.

They vote.

To the City, a Pollution Fighter. To Some Residents, an Eyesore

New York has added 3,000 bioswales, or rain gardens, to absorb storm water and ease pressure on an aging sewer system. But not everyone is pleased.

Another individual.

Trump’s Threats to Recalcitrant Republicans

The president is channeling Don Corleone, by warning of payback if they oppose the health bill.

Sooner is better.
As soon as you can is best.

Death on a Prison Bus: Extradition Companies’ Safety Improvements Lag

Federal officials promised last year to look into the mistreatment of detainees, some held for minor offenses, by for-profit companies. Little has changed.

Detainees are punished for what they are.

The president’s second pick to lead the Labor Department told senators he would not allow partisan considerations to influence his decisions.

No.
The Upshot

Is the G.O.P. Better Off Politically if the Health Bill Doesn’t Pass?

Passing the plan could endanger President Trump’s hold on white-working class voters in areas like the Rust Belt.

Probably.
