Midnight health care massacre: Republicans take middle-of-the-night vote to pave the way for health care dismantling

One of President-elect Donald Trump’s first, and defining, acts next year could come on Republican legislation to cut off taxpayer money from Planned Parenthood. Trump sent mixed signals during the campaign about the 100-year-old organization which provides birth control, abortions and various women's health services. He said "millions of women are helped by Planned Parenthood," but also endorsed efforts to defund it. (AP Photo/Nick Ut, File) (AP)

Maggie Hassan speak during a debate at WGIR in Manchester, N.H. Hillary Clinton is not the only one playing defense after the FBI’s disclosure last week of additional emails relevant to its probe of her use of a private email server. Other Democrats are under the gun, too, in dozens of down-ballot races that will determine whether they control the House and Senate next year. The campaign of Ayotte was quick to put out a digital advertisement entitled “Dodges” that spliced television news clips on the renewed email controversy with older snippets of her opponent Hassan, hemming and hawing when asked if Clinton is honest and trustworthy.

Is Hillary Clinton’s email saga hurting down-ballot Democrats?

FILE - In this May 12, 2016, file photo, House Speaker Paul Ryan of Wis. speaks with reporters on Capitol Hill in Washington, following his meeting with Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump. It’s long been clear that Ryan is, shall we say, not wholly comfortable with Trump’s presidential candidacy. The announcement of Ryan and Trump’s first joint appearance of the campaign on Oct. 8 in Wisconsin _ just four weeks before the election _ was simply the latest reminder. The third paragraph of Ryan’s release about the event says that Trump “will also join Wisconsin Republicans” at the annual party festival in Elkhorn, a small city in Ryan’s congressional district.
