What Needs to Change in the Graham-Cassidy Health Care Bill
Since January, Republicans in Congress have been working on efforts to repeal and replace Obamacare using the budget reconciliation vehicle. As a last-ditch effort to utilize this legislative vehicle before it expires on Sept. 30, Congress looks likely to vote next week on the Graham-Cassidy health bill that partially repeals and replaces parts of Obamacare. While this bill falls short of fully repealing Obamacare and replacing it with a new patient-centered system, it is probably the last viable attempt to begin unwinding Obamacare’s glaring failures. The Graham-Cassidy bill has some critical issues the Senate must fix in order to ensure it improves the status quo, but it is certainly a bill worth fixing.

Police use of ‘StingRay’ cellphone tracker requires search warrant, appeals court rules
A device that tricks cellphones into sending it their location information and has been used quietly by police and federal agents for years, requires a search warrant before it is turned on, an appeals court in Washington ruled Thursday. It is the fourth such ruling by either a state appeals court or federal district court, and may end up deciding the issue unless the government takes the case to the U.S. Supreme Court or persuades the city’s highest court to reverse the ruling.

Sharyl Attkisson rips media for ignoring weaponization of intel agencies under Obama
Investigative reporter Sharyl Attkisson says media outlets are “diving deeply into minutiae” to avoid a stark development: President Trump’s previously ridiculed “wiretapping” claims appear to be true.
Ms. Attkisson has warned of the weaponization of intelligence agencies since her laptop for CBS News stories was hacked on multiple occasions in 2013. An op-ed she wrote for The Hill on Wednesday presented an extensive case that U.S. intelligence agencies under former President Barack Obama were manipulated for political purposes — and that pundits are willfully ignoring it.
