Republicans' plan to replace the Affordable Care Act would reduce the federal deficit, though, according to a report from the Congressional Budget Office.

The length of a bill has little to do with its quality. In fact, it's getting harder and harder to pass major laws that aren't behemoths.

Obamacare made some huge changes to women's health care. Now Republicans want to repeal the law. Here's which women-specific provisions would (and wouldn't) stick if this bill were passed.

After Kellyanne Conway urged shoppers to buy Ivanka Trump's fashion line, the Office of Government Ethics urged punishment. The White House says the agency's rules don't apply to its workers.

In the White House's letter to the Office of Government Ethics this week about Kellyanne Conway, there's a passage that is potentially far more significant than a clothing endorsement.

About half of Americans own stock, though most stocks are owned by the wealthiest. For many, a booming stock market does not offer direct benefits.

In just a few days, two different polls give two different answers to the same question: Do you trust Trump or the news media more? One lesson here is don't trust any single poll too much.

The phrase is a threat to democracy, as a Republican strategist and a left-leaning linguist both explain to NPR.

Uber-flawed surveys are still useful: They can plant ideas in respondents' heads, provide friendly numbers and test new messaging.

The path to Flynn's resignation from his post as national security adviser has been long and confusing, littered with misstatements and uncertain dates.

This week, the White House incorrectly claimed the country's murder rate was at a high, brought up a non-existent Atlanta terrorist attack and again made false claims of widespread voter fraud.

There are now more people who think Obamacare is a good idea than those who don't. It's basic human nature: People tend to get upset if they think they are about to lose something they feel entitled to or previously had. It's also the idea that fueled Donald Trump's electoral base, and ironically, now fuels those who are opposed to him.

One thing — relative deprivation — might explain why Obamacare is gaining in popularity, why people are marching in the streets, even why Trump won the presidency.

The White House made inaccurate assertions about the president's travel ban, the reshuffling of the National Security Council and even about a massacre — that never took place.

The new administration's pushback on verifiable facts is unprecedented and shows that the Trump we saw on the campaign trail hasn't changed once he took the oath of office. And it's only been a week.

The president was opposed to abortion rights and his vice president was the first to speak at one of their decades-old rallies. But that doesn't mean everyone at the March For Life backed Trump.

Trump's response amplified the criticism of the former president by the former Army private, whose sentence for leaking classified documents to WikiLeaks was commuted by Obama last week.

A wall would be expensive — up to $40 billion, according to one estimate. Experts say it's impractical, and a majority of Americans are actually against it. But it was a big Trump campaign promise.

Trump repeated the unproven claim to congressional leaders on Monday, and his press secretary on Tuesday affirmed "the president does believe that." There is still no proof of widespread fraud.
