The Senate has now rolled out their tax plan with alterations that would repeal the Affordable Care Act’s so-called insurance mandate. The Congressional Budget Office said this week that the repeal would lead to 13 million people losing their health insurance over the next decade. A vote is expected on Thursday. Also happening on Capitol Hill, House Speaker Paul Ryan (D-WI) announced that the House will require lawmakers and staffers to undergo anti-harassment training. The announcement comes after female lawmakers shared stories of Congressmen who have engaged in sexual harassment. Speaking of inappropriate sexual behavior, a poll released last night shows that Senate candidate and accused pedophile Roy Moore has a six-point lead over Democrat Doug Jones among Alabama voters. During yesterday’s congressional testimony, former Alabama Senator and current AG Jeff Sessions pushed back against Republicans asking that a special counsel investigate Hillary Clinton. Meanwhile, the Tri-Caucus grilled him on a litany of other issues. We break it down below. Lastly, the FBI is investigating the judge who sentenced rapper Meek Mill to two-four years in prison, for a parole violation for possible extortion. We’re halfway to the weekend and kicking off Wednesday with this...
