“I never warmed to him, never felt good about anybody having anything to do with John McCain and never will, even despite the fact that at their request, I gave him the world’s longest funeral, 11 days,” Trump wrote in his new $95 book “Letters to Trump,” excerpts of wh...

Susan Rice to step down as Biden domestic policy adviser
President Biden announced on Monday that his domestic policy adviser Susan Rice will be stepping down from her role.
Rice, who has been in the role since the beginning of the administration, handled politically-charged issues from gun violence to student loans in her portfolio. Biden praised her in a statement, saying, “there is no one more capable, and more determined to get important things done for the American people than Susan Rice.”
“[W]hat sets her apart as a ...
It’s time to address the unaffordability of affordable health care
President Biden’s proposal to open Obamacare plans and Medicaid to Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) recipients marks the most recent effort to expand federally subsidized health insurance programs. These expansions, however, come with an inconvenient truth: They inflate prices for unsubsidized commercial patients and payers.
Our new study documents that between 2011 and 2021, after adjusting for medical price inflation, median unsubsidized premiums for in...

Will Biden’s zigzag strategy work?
In 1996, President Clinton pursued a reelection strategy of “triangulation” — politically, a made-up term that meant running to the middle in order to win, a tried-and-true strategy that worked for Clinton as it has for many others in American presidential politics.
For President Biden, “triangulation” is not on the table given the highly polarized nature of American politics. His own progressive left base won’t hear of it. Instead, Biden is pursuing a more modest “zigzag” str...
No, Biden can’t let ‘Dreamers’ join ObamaCare
There’s just one little, teensy weensy problem with President Biden’s announcement that he will let “Dreamers” join the Affordable Care Act (ObamaCare) or Medicaid — it’s illegal. I know what you’re thinking: When has an action being illegal ever stopped Biden? And you’re right, it usually doesn’t. But while illegality won’t stop him, the U.S. Supreme Court almost certainly will.
The DREAM Act (hence, the name Dreamers) was first introduced in 2001, often with some bipartisan ...
