Why Trumpcare Failed

The Republican Party can’t pass a health care bill because it has no coherent health care agenda.

There are only two acceptable structures of health care for all:   Obama care or single payer.
Neither is acceptable to the Republican party.

Wonders of a Marine National Monument

A research cruise in the Pacific Remote Islands Marine National Monument produced video of alien-looking deep sea life.

Nice pictures.

What to Cook This Week

Celebrate the crowd that took part in the Central Park “Be-In” 50 years ago, or play it straight, with recipes for Sichuan chicken or weeknight pasta.

Earth day seemed a silly idea to me then.

Food is easy in a kitchen.

The Upshot

Training Your Brain So That You Don’t Need Reading Glasses

A monthslong regimen can compensate for what eye muscles no longer can do.

My gradient lenses work.

I would rather some other driver educated the children.

A Chia Bowl Recipe From ABC Home’s Newest Restaurant, ABCv

The Jean-Georges Vongerichten-helmed kitchen offers all high-vibrational, plant-based dishes. But what does that even mean?

Buzz words.

"Eat food, mostly vegetables."

Video: Lies, Leaks and Consequences

Taking a page from Nixon, President Trump is waging his own battle against leaks, which threatens to damage Americans’ right to know.

Prior restraint is not allowed.
The government cannot prevent question.
Possibly it can penalize answers.

Ignorance should not be encouraged.

How to Build on Obamacare

But will Trump prefer to make America suffer?

Yes, others suffering looks good to the Trump base.
Improvements.

"Needless to say, I don’t expect to see that happen. Improving Obamacare requires doing more, not less, moving left, not right. That’s not what Republicans want to hear.
And the tweeter-in-chief’s initial reaction to health care humiliation was, predictably, vindictive. He blamed Democrats, whom he never consulted, for Trumpcare’s political failure, predicted that “ObamaCare will explode,” and that when it does Democrats will “own it.” Since his own administration is responsible for administering the law, that sounds a lot like a promise to sabotage Americans’ health care and blame other people for the disaster.
The point, however, is that building on Obamacare wouldn’t be hard, and wouldn’t even be all that complicated."

Some Lawmakers Now Look to Bipartisanship on Health Care

In the wake of the Republican failure to make good on the vow to repeal the Affordable Care Act, President Trump and congressional leaders find themselves at a crossroads.

Bipartisanship on health care would surprise me.

To Win Again, Democrats Must Stop Being the Abortion Party

Hillary Clinton lost the Catholic vote and her unwavering support for abortion rights is one reason.

Abortion opponents must understand that none are required to abort.
It is another opportunity to exercise free will.

Lunchtime Dreaming

Sautéed chicken breasts with fennel and lemon, a Vietnamese noodle salad and more recipe ideas for the week.

I can be bored when hungry.
I do not need to be bored.

I can cook.
