Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) warned of “profoundly serious consequences” if former President Trump wins the upcoming election.

Warren, in an op-ed published Saturday in The New York Times, criticized Trump for his non-answer to a question about repealing the Affordable Care Act during this week’s presidential debate.

“After ducking and weaving, he came up with: ‘I have concepts of a plan.’ Uh, that’s not a plan,” Warren wrote.

5 myths about presidential transitions

Make no mistake, the chaos of our last presidential transition was bad — one impeachment and two criminal cases bad.

And yet, we are now two months away from a transition to either Trump Two or Harris One.

Former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris have each announced their transition directors. As each side begins to plan, here are five myths worth reconsidering:

Congress killed pandemic safety nets, and we’re still paying the price

Every September, the Census Bureau unveils crucial data on Americans' poverty, health and income for the previous year.

Let’s parse the numbers. The Supplemental Poverty Measure — the most comprehensive measure of poverty — increased slightly, from 12.4 percent to 12.9 percent betw...

Price transparency is key to reducing health care costs

Health care has emerged as a fault line in this year's election campaign. Vice President Kamala Harris supports expanding the Affordable Care Act, while former President Donald Trump wants to scale it back. Yet there's one health care policy that the Biden-Harris and Trump administrations both supported and can coalesce around again: price transparency.

This bipartisan health care fix is supported by 92 percent of Americans, according to a new poll by Echelon In...

Harris campaign suggests Trump avoiding debate because he doesn’t want to defend ‘toxic positions’

Vice President Harris’s campaign on Friday argued that former President Trump shared a handful of “toxic positions” on the debate stage earlier this week and suggested he’s avoiding another debate so he doesn’t have to defend them.

Harris mocks Trump’s debate performance at campaign rally

Vice President Harris on Thursday mocked former President Trump’s debate performance, calling him out at a rally in North Carolina for having “concepts of a plan."

Harris poked fun at Trump for saying that he was interested in trying to repeal ObamaCare again but added that he doesn’t currently have a plan to replace it.

“I have concepts of a plan. I’m not president right now,” Trump said during Tuesday's debate. 

“You heard what he said in the debate,...
