Wat is dit nu weer? Of gaan ze nog een keer stemmen? Ik raak de weg kwijt tussen alle gefaalde pogingen...

Ze gaan nu een soort achterdeurtje proberen via een caucus met het Congress, dacht ik. Geen idee wat daar uitkomt, overigens zoal er al iets uitkomt. De tegenstand lijkt alleen maar toe te nemen onder de Republikeinen.

Donald Trump’s administration has reportedly threatened to isolate Alaska after a senator from the state voted against the President’s health care motion.

Senator Lisa Murkowski was one of seven Republicans who rejected the measure to repeal parts of the Affordable Care Act, one of Mr Trump’s key policy pledges, during a vote on Tuesday.

The President reacted angrily to the news, writing on Twitter: “Senator Lisa Murkowski of the Great State of Alaska really let the Republicans, and our country, down yesterday. Too bad!”

Later in the day Ms Murkowski and Dan Sullivan, the other Republican senator for Alaska, allegedly received calls from the Department of the Interior warning them that the state’s future was now under consideration.

The messages, which came directly from the Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke, were “troubling”, Mr Sullivan told Alaska Dispatch News.

"I'm not going to go into the details, but I fear that the strong economic growth, pro-energy, pro-mining, pro-jobs and personnel from Alaska who are part of those policies are going to stop," he said.

"I tried to push back on behalf of all Alaskans. We're facing some difficult times, but the message was pretty clear.”

Alaskan regulatory issues which require support from the federal government, including permission to expand oil drilling in the National Petroleum Reserve, may now not be approved, it is feared.

Kom! Wees niet zo naïef inzake het oppot-verhaal of meer vet op de botten. In de volksmond noemen we dit gewoon ordinair graaien van de burger. Niets meer of minder.

We kunnen hier weer een eindeloos ja-nietus van maken. Kern van het betoog is dat de burger vrij moet zijn om te kiezen. De burger moet de marktwerking bepalen, niet door de overheid getolereerde verzekeraars-monopolisten die nu zelf de marktwerking bepalen en daarmee de levens van burgers.

Die opvatting leeft in Amerika nog veel sterker en daarom zijn zoveel Amerikanen zo tegen Obama care. Daar kun je het mee eens zijn of niet, maar de gegeven feiten blijven de gegeven feiten.

EU-US scrap on Russia sanctions gets worse

The EU has threatened to retaliate against US sanctions on European firms that invest in Russian energy projects.

But a senior US diplomat has said there is a window of opportunity to “change the status quo” on Russia’s behaviour in Ukraine.

Jean-Claude Juncker, the European Commission chief, said on Wednesday (26 July) that “if our concerns are not taken into account sufficiently, we stand ready to act appropriately within a matter of days.”

“America first cannot mean that Europe's interests come last,” he said.

A leaked internal memo this week indicated the Commission might seek to circumscribe US jurisdiction on the issue or to impose counter-sanctions on US firms.

Juncker said the EU was “fully committed” to previous Russia sanctions, but he said the new US measures could have “unintended unilateral effects that impact the EU's energy security interests”, such as repairs to Russia’s old gas pipeline network.

His words were echoed by Berlin, whose plan to build the Nord Stream II gas pipeline with Russia could be in jeopardy if the US measures go through.

Martin Schaefer, a German foreign ministry spokesman, indicated that the US wanted to stymie the pipeline so that American firms could sell more gas in Europe.

It would be "unacceptable for the United States to use … sanctions as an instrument to serve the interests of US industry," he said.

Volker Treier, the head of the German Chamber of Industry and Commerce, a lobby group, said: “The United States is looking to its own economic interests.”

White House communications director Anthony Scaramucci said Thursday that he doesn't know if his relationship with White House Chief of Staff Reince Priebus can be repaired, and he urged Priebus to publicly prove that he has not leaked damaging information to the media.

“If you want to talk about the chief of staff, we have had odds, we have had differences. When I said we were brothers, from the podium, that's because we're rough on each other. Some brothers are like Cain and Abel, other brothers can fight with each other and then get along. I don't know if this is repairable or not — that will be up to the president,” Scaramucci said in a phone interview with CNN early Thursday morning,...
