Any doubts that repealing the core elements of the Affordable Care Act would have dire consequences for millions of Americans were laid to rest this week by the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office. In the first year after repeal, 18 million Americans would become uninsured, the CBO concluded .

I support Rep. Jared Huffman not attending the inauguration of our next president but instead spending the day helping local citizens to become more actively involved. In his Jan. 7 open letter, Congressman Huffman wrote: “As much as we all hope for the best, we should be clear-eyed about the warning signs of exactly who Donald Trump is and what he will attempt to do as our President.
Hugh White says their ill-considered words over the South China Sea and 'one China' policy, which underline how little they understand China, will most probably reveal themselves to be empty threats We should not take Rex Tillerson too seriously when he threatened last week that America would deny China access to its bases in the South China Sea, plainly implying a willingness to use force to do so if necessary.

Last year, thanks to an invitation from the ToonSeum, I had the honor of sharing the stage of the August Wilson Center with Rep. John Lewis of Georgia's Fifth Congressional District. The civil rights icon was making the rounds promoting his three-part graphic novel series, "March," with collaborators Andrew Aydin and Nate Powell.

Each year on the third Monday in January this space is filled with prose extolling the life and achievements of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. While it is indeed the day the nation has set aside to honor King, such editorials somehow seem trite and even redundant. They are not; honoring greatness is never redundant.
Ever since U.S. relations with Cuba appear to have normalized in the past year - air travel has opened, trade restrictions were lifted, and President Barack Obama visited the island nation - The Monitor's editorial board has called for the lifting of a unique refugee policy that has been in place for Cubans, but not offered to other immigrants who are seeking asylum. Commonly referred to as "the wet-foot, dry-foot" policy, Cubans who cross onto U.S. land have for the past 22 years been immediately put on a path to citizenship and eligible for U.S. assistance programs.

House Speaker Paul Ryan, with House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy on Capitol Hill Tuesday, has been a budget hawk. Don't look now, but it's time to argue about deficits again.

Cheers to the proposed use of a $1 million gaming grant to help Berskshire Hathaway GUARD Insurance expand its Wilkes-Barre operations by building on the site of the former Hotel Sterling. The money would be well spent on retaining a growing, nationally known company in the city and developing a vacant piece of prime real estate.

He has been chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations and Judiciary committees and, for the last eight years, President Barack Obama's right hand.
Since the election, I have been trying to contact my Texas senators, John Cornyn and Ted Cruz, to voice my position as being opposed to repealing the Affordable Care Act, opposed to defunding Planned Parenthood, opposed to confirming Jeff Sessions as attorney general, opposed to confirming Rex Tillerson as secretary of state and to demand that the president-elect rid himself of all business conflicts of interest, and to support an independent counsel for investigation of Russian interference in this election to help the Republican candidate. My senators will not answer their phones or respond to letters or email.
