Here are a few national and Virginia news headlines, political and otherwise, for Monday, March 27.
- GOP struggles to govern despite a monopoly in Washington
- Blow: The King of Crash and Burn
- Editorial: The War on Science
- Krugman: How to Build on Obamacare
- Trump taps Kushner to lead overhaul of government using business ideas (This will NOT end well!)
- White House weighs deeper U.S. military role in Yemen war (This DEFINITELY will not end well!)
- Trump shifts blame for health-care collapse to the far right (How about look in the mirror for a change, dude?)
- The lessons Trump and Ryan failed to learn from history (“Their health-care fiasco could have been avoided if conservatives still believed in anything beyond tax cuts and deregulation.” I doubt they even read.)
- In Need of Win, Trump and the G.O.P. Pivot to Tax Reform (This won’t end well either, unless they reach out to Democrats ASAP and make this bipartisan.)
- G.O.P. Struggles for Unity Post-Obama (Yeah, what is the party of white nationalists going to do now that they don’t have the black guy to hate on? Poor babies.)

- Trump’s Obamacare stumble empowers Pelosi (“The Democratic leader is suddenly a player again thanks to the GOP’s dysfunction.”)
- Is Kellyanne Conway Breaking the Law? (“It appears as though she hasn’t yet divested her polling firm. If that’s the case, it’s possible she’s committing a serious federal crime.”)
- Freedom Caucus Loses Member Amid Trump Criticism for Health Care (This caucus has NOTHING to do with “freedom,” more like the opposite.)
- Trump is finally lashing out at the right enemies (“Movement conservatism is about as popular as toe fungus.” I’d MUCH prefer toe fungus to the far-right wing in this country.)
- Trump’s awkward meeting with Angela Merkel just got more cringeworthy (“Trump reportedly handed the Chancellor an invoice for what he thinks Germany ‘owes’ NATO and the U.S.” Worst president ever.)
- ‘You think I’m bad for America’: Sean Hannity pouts after Ted Koppel schools him on the importance of facts (Yes, Sean, you and everything you represent are horrendous for America and for the world in general.)
