Cruz Pushes Obamacare Repeal Gambit That Could Roil the Senate

Opening Arctic for Drilling Is Trump Priority, Key Senator Says an hour ago
Senator Lisa Murkowski said President Donald Trump is interested in opening up new coastal waters for oil and gas drilling and reversing Obama-era policies that restrict energy development in Alaska. Both Trump and Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke are weighing ways to expand opportunities to drill in Arctic waters though the changes could take years to accomplish administratively, Murkowski said in an interview on the sidelines of the CERAWeek conference in Houston. “It’s fair to say we are looking at how we might be able to — how the administration might be able to — allow for opportunities within this important area, offshore Alaska,” Murkowski said.

Adam Schiff said.
White House Suggests It Hired a National Security Adviser Without…
When Donald Trump named Michael Flynn as his national security adviser last November, liberals had good cause to raise their eyebrows.

Trump administration hits the 50-day mark
Time flies: Today marks the 50th day of President Donald Trump’s administration and the halfway point in the storied “first 100 days.” More than a week ago, Trump said that he would give himself an A for achievement but a C in messaging, though that self-assessment came before his address to a joint session of Congress, for which he was roundly praised by members of his own party.
Pelosi says Trump’s wiretapping claims are false
House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi says there’s no way that former President Barack Obama had Donald Trump wiretapped in the lead up to the election, and FBI Director James Comey should say so. A member of the House Intelligence Committee, Pelosi questioned whether Trump understands the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, the law that allows the government to monitor the calls of foreign agents suspected of terrorism or espionage.
Apparently The Jobs Report Is No Longer A Massive Conspiracy?
President Donald Trump immediately retweeted right-wing media praise for a strong February 2017 jobs report from the Bureau of Labor Statistics , which showed above-average job creation and a steady unemployment rate last month. Trump’s willingness to embrace the BLS monthly jobs report is at odds with his past approach — at least over the last four years — of slamming the number as “phony” and as merely a political tool of the Obama administration.
On Cue, Adoring Pro-Trump Outlets Fawn Over February Jobs Report
Right-wing media reacted with predictable enthusiasm to a better-than-expected February 2017 jobs report from the Bureau of Labor Statistics , which they attributed to President Donald Trump’s unique leadership.

Trump administration slow to name deputies
President Donald Trump still hasn’t named a number of key deputy secretaries to back up his Cabinet – posts that experts say are essential to smooth functioning of the government.

On Trump trademarks, China says it treats applicants equally
China assesses all applications for trademarks equally in a transparent process, a top Chinese regulator said Friday, after Beijing awarded U.S. President Donald Trump preliminary approval for a trove of trademarks in a move that has drawn scrutiny.
