Obamacare Insurance Mandate Is Struck Down by Federal Appeals Court

But the judges sent the case back to determine if other parts of the federal health care law can stand without the mandate.

No change as yet.
Defeating Republicans is more important now.

Trump Impeached for Abuse of Power and Obstruction of Congress

Voting nearly along party lines, the House approved two articles of impeachment against President Trump, making him the third president in history to face removal by the Senate.

Trump's removal has yet to be arranged.
The next impeachment is for jury tampering.

Women reclaimed a word once the province of crass boys and men who are boys.

Communication is the key.

The Chinese culture is changing slowly and unevenly.

He believes his lies.

Science

The swine have established themselves in Canada and are encroaching on border states like Montana and North Dakota.

Biological warfare is a possibility.

U.S.

Pete Buttigieg Quit Playing Nice. Will He Pay for It at the Debate?

His stock in the presidential primary didn’t rise until he attacked his leading rivals. Democrats in Iowa don’t seem to mind.

I will vote for Elizabeth Warren if I can.
She is doing the right things.

Democrats Agree on One Thing: They’re Very, Very Nervous

‘Trump anxiety disorder’ has morphed into anxiety about everything, and impeachment isn’t helping.

The choices matter.
