"How the GOP Health Care Failed Without a Vote" by Veronica Stracqualursi and Adam Kelsey on abcnews.go.com This is a historical thread about an issue of significant national importance; not a partisan thread, except whatever partisanship exists by its very nature. Please reply thoughtfully - it's perfectly fine to discuss the bills themselves, their contents, the implications of this, etc. For example, if someone wanted to draw a parallel between Trump saying "The Democrats now own ObamaCare" and, in a reverse situation, a Democratic President - who just retracted a bill because (s)he couldn't get the votes - saying "The Republicans now own Climate Change," or, "The Republicans now own Mass Shootings," and back up the assertion up with some substance, that would be perfectly legitimate. Likewise, President Trump asserting that he acted as a "team player," yet he didn't get a single Democratic vote. What, exactly, did he do to show that he was acting as a "team player?" And, on which team was he playing? See, "teams" involve an "us vs. them" mentality, which is inherently partisan. Larry Bird was the ultimate team player, and you can bet that in every single game he played, he wanted to crush the life out of his opponents - especially Magic Johnson and the Lakers. So, can anyone produce some evidence that President Trump was representing "Team USA" as opposed to just "The Republican Team?" If so, please lay it out for us - I'm not familiar with the contents of the bills. Let's keep this discussion on a high level - there's too much fighting and name-calling on the internet, and I believe we can do it. And if not, we at least have this marker as a historical record of an important news event. -

Knowingly or not, anyone can get caught up in politics, activism etc. Jose Andres' planned restaurant in the planned Trump hotel in DC is now a target for protests against Trump's recent statements. Here is one article on the topic and includes a tweet by Andres I bet this story isn't going away for a while.

I'm not sure how often The Washington Post has run full-page editorials before, and surprisingly, I can't find an image of the actual paper online, but this seems very unusual. "Donald Trump is a Unique Threat to American Democracy" on washingtonpost.com --- "Washington Post: Trump is a 'Unique and Present Danger'" by Nikita Vladimirov on thehill.com "Washington Post Editorial Calls Donald Trump 'A Unique Danger' to Democracy" by Paul Singer on usatoday.com
