"WASHINGTON (AP) — The House Judiciary Committee will prepare subpoenas this week seeking special counsel Robert Mueller's full Russia report as the Justice Department appears likely to miss an April 2 deadline set by Democrats for the report's release".

Bill Barr Has Promised Transparency. He Deserves the Chance to Deliver.
Here’s a radical idea: For the next two weeks, let’s give Attorney General William Barr the benefit of the doubt. Barr’s initial letter summarizing the top-line conclusions of Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation allowed President Donald Trump to claim exoneration and vilify those who had called for the investigation, even as it managed not to answer any substantive questions about L’Affaire Russe. What’s more, the letter put the attorney general’s personal stamp on the exoneration of the president for obstruction of justice, an outcome that is apparently not what Mueller himself intended.

Barbara Bush saw Trump as a 'symbol of greed
"WASHINGTON (AP) — Barbara Bush didn't bite her tongue in recent years when it came to Donald Trump: She just didn't like him. But a new biography of the former first lady finds that her disdain for the Republican president, who transformed the party her own family had embodied for generations into his likeness, dates as least as far back as a 1990s diary entry".

Why Republicans Can’t Be ‘the Party of Health Care’
"President Trump this week boldly proclaimed that “the Republican Party will soon be known as the party of health care.” The president reportedly told lawmakers that he had come up with the new branding on his way from the White House to the Capitol.
Turning that slogan into reality before the 2020 election will be close to impossible. Developments this week show why—and highlight how the administration, for now at least, is sowing disarray across broad swaths of the health care system".
"Eliminate Obamacare – Then What?
Republican lawmakers were left scrambling when the Trump administration this week threw its support behind a legal ruling to invalidate the entire Obama health law. "If the Supreme Court rules that Obamacare is out, we will have a plan that's far better than Obamacare," Trump told reporters Wednesday. On Thursday, he said that he has asked a small group of Republican senators, including John Barrasso of Wyoming, Bill Cassidy of Louisiana and Rick Scott of Florida to craft a plan. “They are going to work together, come up with something that’s really spectacular,” Trump told reporters".

Trump says he asked group of GOP senators to craft Obamacare replacement plan
"President Trump has asked a group of Republican senators to come up with a replacement for Obamacare, the president said Thursday.
The contingent of between four and five senators tasked with working on an alternative healthcare proposal includes Sens. John Barrasso of Wyoming, Rick Scott of Florida, and Bill Cassidy of Louisiana, Trump told reporters before departing the White House for a rally in Grand Rapids, Mich.
“They are going to work together, come up with something that’s really spectacular, maybe we will even get support in the House from Democrats,” Trump said. “But it’s going to be far better than Obamacare".

They have had over two years and still have done nothing. All these people that cry about Obama Care, You ain't seen nothing yet. If Trump and his clowns do come up with something, you can bet it will take even more money out of the common man's pocket and line big pharma's pockets. All these that cry about Obama care, you're about to find out what it's like to really get screwed. Look what he has already done to the farmers. Since he didn't hesitate to screw over part of his biggest base, he certainly will not hesitate to screw over the old and the sick.
Donald Trump Has Sold Out Family Farmers
"Trump been good to America’s family farms? He certainly seems to think so: “Oh, are you happy you voted for me. You are so lucky that I gave you that privilege,” the president told members of the American Farm Bureau Federation in Nashville on Monday, where he gave his first major address of the year. Trump clearly enjoyed himself. He preened and smirked, baring his white teeth. “Get up,” he instructed the audience at one point, demanding a standing ovation.
