Republicans in Washington should be returning home next week to brag. But despite having total control on Capitol Hill, even they admit that policies aren’t advancing.

Senate Republican suffered a major defeat Friday night when the Senate Parliamentarian ruled that many provisions of BCRA violate the Byrd Rule — including the defunding of Planned Parenthood — which means they’ll need 60 votes to pass it, whatever it actually is when all is said and done:

JUST IN: Parliamentarian rules Dems can strike abortion restrictions and defunding Planned Parenthood from the bill https://t…

Sean Spicer is out as White House press secretary, and he’s been replaced by Sarah Huckabee Sanders. In other news, Anthony Scaramucci spoke to the press today (and blew ’em a kiss) after being named the new White House communications director. What are the changes all about? NBC News’ political analyst Nicolle Wallace seems to know:

Quite the take on Spicer/Scaramucci from @NicolleDWallace: "This is about Donald Trump wanting better-looking men spreading his message…

For the last 20 years, academic researchers have gathered at this event to share and debate their studies without being mocked.

Most Americans and Europeans who eat a varied diet get enough iodine even if they don’t use iodized salt, though pregnant women are at risk.

Confrontations with police officers are increasing as the ranks of older Americans swell and dementia becomes more widespread.

Mallinckrodt’s spending on political donations and lobbying comes as the drug industry as a whole beefs up its Capitol Hill presence.

Well, this is awkward. Some remember President Barack Obama as young and fit, running laps around the White House with Joe Biden right alongside. We tend to remember him more riding in a golf cart, biking in mom jeans, and going 2 for 22 in free-throws at the White House Easter Egg Roll.
Mostly, we didn’t worry about Obama’s physical fitness — it was his policies that had us cringing…

With their bill to replace the Affordable Care Act shattered, Republican leaders pressed a new plan — repeal now, replace later. But that too lacked support.

While Obamacare’s foes seek to reverse its expansion of coverage, third-world nations have made strides in extending access and improving results.

Here we are at long last with a Republican majority in the House and Senate and a Republican president, just about all of whom seem to have forgotten why voters sent them to Washington, D.C.
Despite holding a clear majority, senators can’t agree on moving forward with an amended version of the BCRA or repealing Obamacare and building a new health care plan from scratch — either path forward lacks the votes needed to proceed…

Yes, the Daily Mail’s David Martosko was in discussions recently to become the Trump administration’s press secretary, but don’t let that color his advice on trusting PPP’s polls. Actually, following Election Day 2016, it’s probably best that every major political pollster include some sort of “For Entertainment Purposes Only” disclaimer with every new release…

The FARC rebels have disarmed and joined the government to wean farmers off illicit crops. But in poor villages, the lure of drug money is still strong.

GOP has been playing politics with Obamacare all along. Campaign after campaign, promising Republicans they would REPEAL Obamacare; even putting up 50+ clean repeal bills under Obama.
And now they have all of the power they told us they needed, and they still can’t (won’t) do it.
Hale Razor summed up their ridiculous history with this nightmare legislation PERFECTLY:

With announced opposition from Senators Moran and Lee, the Republican push to rewrite President Obama’s signature domestic legacy issue falls short.

A coalition of advocacy groups claims that fewer than 100 of the 58,000 cars dispatched by the ride-hailing service across New York City are wheelchair accessible.

One thing was pretty clear Monday soon after the organizers of the Women’s March tweeted a happy birthday to “the revolutionary” Assata Shakur, who’s wanted by the FBI and hiding out in Cuba: it wouldn’t be long before they’d double-down on their support of Shakur, opting for a fictionalized biography in which Shakur is little more than a victim of white male society who stood up for herself…

We’d say Michael Ian Black should stick with comedy, but we’re not sure he’s all that funny in the first place.
Unless you count laughing at his abysmal lack of knowledge when it comes to anything political; dude’s timeline reads like a civics nightmare of mass proportions.
Take for example his tweet on the Constitution:

Our Constitution is utterly unprepared for the possibility of an illegitimate president…

The Republicans’ proposal to overturn Obamacare could allow insurers to sell bare-bones plans that fail to pay for what is now deemed essential medical care.

Connecticut Sen. Richard Blumenthal has decided that treason is a possibility in the Donald Trump Jr. saga because an act of war was committed by Russia. Watch:

If Sen. Blumenthal has ever read Article III of the Constitution, he would know how narrowly-defined treason is in our country…

Former FBI director James Comey is going to write a book, and he is going to include his time working for the Trump administration.
