In his announcement explaining why he is shifting from a 'no' to a 'yes' on President Trump's tax bill, Sen. Bob Corker explained that he was making a bet on the "enterprising spirit" of America. In other words, despite the fact that he promised not to vote for a bill that will add to the deficit, and despite the fact that this bill will certainly do so, Corker is hoping that all the projections are wrong and that other factors, like deregulatory actions and changes in trade and immigration policy will help make up the difference.

President Donald Trump unleashed a blistering attack on the bureau's leadership even as he praised local police officers as a bulwark against rising violence and crime.
The demands from Democrats that he step down were 'the most hypocritical thing I've ever seen done to a human being,' Sen. Joe Manchin says. I'm not sure "hypocritical" is the same as "phony and opportunistic", but yeah - Dems had a chance for a win over Rep.

Facing bipartisan hostility over high drug prices in an election year, the pharmaceutical industry's biggest trade group boosted revenue by nearly a fourth in 2016 and spread the millions collected among hundreds of lobbyists, politicians and patient groups, new filings show.

A new controversy has emerged about the tax reform bill - namely, how it will now benefit Trump's bottom line As the Republican tax reform bill winds its way through Congress, two new developments have taken center stage: Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., won't be able to vote for the final measure, and President Donald Trump will be enriched by a new provision that was added to it. McCain headed home to Arizona on Sunday to recover from the effects of chemotherapy treatment he had received in a Maryland hospital for a form of cancer with which he's been diagnosed, according to CBS News .
With the tax bill complete and two key Senate Republicans promising a "yes" vote Friday, Republicans are rolling at full speed to pass the bill through Congress and land it on President Donald Trump's desk before the end of the week.
