The late Charlie Kirk warned that a dangerous disease was spreading through America — a rising generation adrift, disconnected from community, stuck in stalled mobility, and cut off from opportunity. His warning has only grown more urgent with time.

How to reopen the government: Rebrand Obamacare as ‘TrumpCare’
As the first shutdown since 2009 rolls on, reopening the government will likely hinge on Democrats’ success convincing President Trump to learn to love a program that he has repeatedly attempted to destroy: Obamacare.
To do that, Democrats can lean on the type of strategic flattery employed by certain U.S. companies and world leaders to gain edge in their dealings with Trump. In short, Democrats’ best chance to break the impasse is by convincing President Trump tha...
GOP senator: ObamaCare messaging ‘very challenging,’ polls ‘asking the wrong questions’
Sen. Roger Marshall (R-Kan.) said Democrats are taking Republicans "hostage" with their demands to extend ObamaCare tax credits, but he conceded that winning the public relations battle over the issue was "very challenging."
Speaking Tuesday at The Hill's "Health Next Summit," Marshall, a medical doctor, said he did not believe the Affordable Care Act (ACA) subsidies passed during the COVID-19 pandemic were the "real issue" preventing Democrats from reaching a deal to end t...

Federal judge blocks Trump administration’s broad birth control mandate exemptions
The Trump administration’s religious and moral carve-outs to an ObamaCare requirement that all employer health plans cover contraception at no cost were blocked on Wednesday by a federal judge.
District Judge Wendy Beetlestone in Philadelphia issued a summary judgment that the rules were arbitrary, capricious and an overreach of the authority of the agencies that wrote them in 2017.
Under the rules, essentially any for-profit or nonprofit employer or insure...
