But few health insurers, hospitals or doctors seem to know how to approach the next chapter in American health care now that Republican efforts to dismantle the Affordable Care Act have all but collapsed. With Republicans in Congress reeling Tuesday from the failure of their latest Obamacare repeal effort, the health care industry is facing an accumulation of "ifs."
The Trump administration slapped 18 Iranian individuals and groups with sanctions Tuesday for aiding the country's non-nuclear weapons programs, in a bid to show that President Donald Trump is staying tough on Iran despite his moves to let the nuclear deal stay in place for now. The latest attempt to clamp down on Iran's military financing ranged from an Iranian-based company that aided the country's drone program to a Turkey-based provider of naval equipment and a China-based network that helped secure electronics for Tehran.
UnitedHealth was losing money selling these plans when it withdrew last year, and it and other insurers questioned the sustainability of former President Barack Obama's health reform law. Republicans have vowed repeatedly to repeal and replace the law, but have disagreed on how to do that.
House Republicans on Tuesday unveiled a budget that makes deep cuts in food stamps and other social safety net programs while boosting military spending by billions, a blueprint that pleases neither conservatives nor moderates.
The Trump administration told Congress for a second time Monday that Iran is complying with the nuclear deal and can keep enjoying sanctions relief, even as it insisted Tehran would face consequences for breaching "the spirit" of the deal. President Donald Trump, who lambasted the 2015 pact as a candidate, gave himself more time to decide whether to scuttle it or let it stand.
As the government's Russia investigations heat up, a growing cast of lawyers is signing up to defend President Donald Trump and his associates. But the interests of those lawyers - and their clients - don't always align, adding a new layer of drama and suspicion in a White House already rife with internal rivalries.
The latest Republican effort to repeal "Obamacare" was fatally wounded when two more party senators announced their opposition to legislation strongly backed by President Donald Trump. The announcements from senators Mike Lee of Utah and Jerry Moran of Kansas left the Republican Party's long-promised efforts to get rid of President Barack Obama's health care legislation reeling.
President Donald Trump's nominee to the U.S. Supreme Court couldn't escape discussion of the president's travel ban - and even the president - during an appearance Monday at a judicial conference, where a student essay winner compared the ban to Japanese internment and the producer of the musical "Hamilton" said the cast was scared following Trump's election victory. Gorsuch was a late fill-in at the 9th Circuit conference for fellow Supreme Court justice Anthony Kennedy and took over what was supposed to be Kennedy's role of welcoming new U.S. citizens.
Sen. Ted Cruz, the Texas Republican who lost a hard-fought campaign for president last year, has one fundamental problem: His political ambition far outstrips his likability and political skill. In the 2016 primary, his rudeness to Senate colleagues, glaring opportunism and awkward interpersonal skills - as much as then-candidate Donald Trump - prevented him from capturing the nomination.
The panel, which is investigating Russian interference in U.S. elections, is interviewing several former Obama administration officials. Former National Security Adviser Susan Rice will speak to staff on the Senate Intelligence Committee this week.
Former national security adviser Susan Rice will testify this week before a House committee, where she'll likely face difficult questions about "unmasking" President Donald Trump's associates. On Tuesday, Rice will testify in a closed-door meeting of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, which is conducting its own investigation into allegations of Russian election interference.
Noted conservative and bestselling author David Horowitz says Shephard Smith's rant against President Donald Trump on Fox News has discredited him as a journalist. "This is ridiculous, this is Shep Smith discrediting himself, delegitimizing himself, and showing that he's no journalist," Horowitz, author of "Big Agenda: President Trump's Plan to Save America" said Monday on "America Talks Live" with Miranda Khan.
The watchdog Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington announced a "major victory" Monday on Twitter - its lawsuit has prevailed in obtaining the visitor logs from President Donald Trump's Florida getaway. MAJOR CREW VICTORY: as part of our lawsuit, the gov't has to turn over Mar-a-Lago visitor records by Sept.
White House press secretary Sean Spicer on Monday appeared to be confused about Donald Trump Jr.'s June 2016 meeting with a Russian lawyer , claiming it was about adoptions - contradicting both Donald Trump Jr. and the president, who have both confirmed the true reason for the meeting. During an off-camera briefing with reporters, Spicer claimed that "the president has made it clear through his tweet, and there was nothing as far as we know that would lead anyone to believe that there was anything except for a discussion about adoption," referring to the original reason Trump Jr. gave for meeting with Russian lawyer Natalia Veselnitskaya.

"What I'm tired of is people, daily, nightly, on all the cable news shows telling us there's something wrong," he says. "I just think we ought to direct our resources and our energies to doing something about it.
Sen. Richard Blumenthal said Thursday that Donald Trump Jr.'s emails could prove intent if charges result from one of the investigations into the Trump campaign's ties to Russia. "No question that we're very far from criminal charges here and from proof beyond a reasonable doubt, but if you're asking what's the significance of these emails, it's criminal intent, which is often the most difficult part of any case," Mr. Blumenthal, Connecticut Democrat, told CNN.
Political memories are short, but they shouldn't be this short. Amid all the outrage about Donald Trump Jr.'s willingness a year ago to find out what dirt the Russian government may have had on Hillary Clinton, it's worth remembering his father's press conference on July 27, 2016.
Reporters covering President Donald Trump's trip to Paris are getting off to a rather chaotic start after a segment of his motorcade was separated from him. The president arrived early Thursday morning and was whisked away from Paris Orly Airport to the U.S. ambassador's residence in central Paris.
U.S. Sen. Charles Grassley said Wednesday morning he would call President Donald Trump's former campaign manager Paul Manafort before the Senate Judiciary Committee. Grassley, Iowa's senior Republican senator, serves as chairman of the judiciary committee - one of several committees conducting investigations into possible coordination between the Trump campaign and Russian government to influence the 2016 presidential election.
