"title": "Senate Takes First Step to Repeal Obamacare -- So What's Next?",
"headTitle": "The California Report | KQED News",
"content": "\u003cp>At about 1:30 a.m. on Thursday, Republicans moved one step closer to repealing a law they have railed against since the moment it was passed nearly seven years ago.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By a final vote of 51-48, the Senate approved a budget resolution that sets the stage for broad swaths of the Affordable Care Act to be repealed through a process known as budget reconciliation. The resolution now goes to the House, where leaders are hoping to approve it by the end of the week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The powerful tool sets up a fast track for repealing large parts of Barack Obama's major domestic achievement; the best guess is that the Senate is still several weeks away from largely repealing Obamacare. But as the process continues, large questions still loom over how -- and when -- Republicans will replace the health care law.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>An Expedited Repeal, Starting With a Vote-a-Rama\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>The vote took place during a session known as a \"vote-a-rama.\" \u003ca href=\"http://politicaldictionary.com/words/vote-a-rama/\" target=\"_blank\">These all-night vote-fests\u003c/a> happen surrounding budget resolutions, which allow senators to propose unlimited amendments, as the \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2017/01/11/us/politics/vote-a-rama-senate-affordable-care-act.html\" target=\"_blank\">New York Times' Thomas Kaplan\u003c/a> explained this week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The passage of the resolution kicks off the budget reconciliation process. That process is special because a reconciliation measure cannot be filibustered, meaning it allows the Senate to pass a bill with a simple majority (as opposed to needing 60 votes to overcome a filibuster). That's good for Republicans, who hold 52 of the Senate's 100 seats.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Once the House approves the measure, which could happen as soon as Friday, committees from both chambers will meet to create instructions telling the budget committee what repeal should look like. Once repeal legislation is drafted, both houses can pass it with a simple majority, and then it would go to President Trump for signature.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Should that repeal legislation pass both houses and be signed by a President Trump, it would cut out important provisions of Obamacare, but would still not repeal the entire law.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Budget reconciliation allows Congress only to repeal parts of the bill -- more specifically, the parts that deal with how much the government spends or taxes people. That means this process can't repeal, for example, the parts of the bill that allow young adults to stay on their parents' insurance or the rules saying companies couldn't deny coverage for people with pre-existing conditions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But those are the parts of the law that end up costing a lot of money, while the parts that can be repealed through budget reconciliation -- like the mandate that people have coverage (which is enforced through a tax), billions of dollars in Medicaid funds and subsidies for private coverage -- bring money into the system to help balance out the cost equation.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Democrats Try to Send Their Own Messages\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Democrats went into Wednesday night with a messaging plan: Use vote-a-rama to get Republicans on the record about what may come next. That plan consisted of proposing amendment after amendment to force Republicans to vote on Medicaid expansion, funding for rural hospitals, women's access to health care and other popular programs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Democrats know this is a train they can't stop. As the night drew to a close, all they could do was stage a protest.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Senators aren't supposed to give speeches during a vote, but Sen. Tammy Duckworth, D-Illinois, a disabled Iraq War veteran, ignored the rule.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As the presiding senator was gaveling for order, Duckworth said, \"For all those with pre-existing conditions, I stand on prosthetic legs to vote no!\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The gaveling continued as Sen. Al Franken, D-Minnesota, said, \"I vote no on behalf of the more than 2.3 million Minnesotans who can no longer be discriminated against because of the ACA!\"\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>What's Next (And When)? That's Complicated ...\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Republicans are united on wanting to repeal Obamacare. But they're more divided over the time frame of that repeal, as well as what happens next.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At one point, it \u003ca href=\"http://www.politico.com/story/2016/12/obamacare-republicans-repeal-replace-232025\" target=\"_blank\">appeared likely\u003c/a> that congressional Republicans would take a \"repeal and delay\" approach -- that is, pass repeal legislation that would only be implemented far down the road, to allow time to craft a replacement for Obamacare.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But now divisions are growing. \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2017/01/10/us/repeal-affordable-care-act-donald-trump.html\" target=\"_blank\">House Speaker Paul Ryan\u003c/a> this week said he would like a repeal and a replacement for Obamacare to come \"concurrently.\" And in a \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/2017/01/11/509137239/watch-live-trump-holds-first-press-conference-as-president-elect\" target=\"_blank\">Wednesday press conference\u003c/a>, President-elect Donald Trump indicated that he would like the two to happen in quick succession, though he didn't provide much more clarity on that time frame.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It will be repeal and replace. It will be essentially simultaneously,\" he said. Later, he added, \"It will be various segments, you understand, but will most likely be on the same day or the same week -- but probably the same day -- could be a same hour.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other Republicans, however, believe the process won't be so abbreviated.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I don't see any possibility of our being able to come up with a comprehensive reform bill that would replace Obamacare by the end of this month,\" said Maine Republican Sen. Susan Collins.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wisconsin Republican Sen. Ron Johnson also seemed to say on Tuesday that the process could take a while, involving multiple intermediate steps. As he \u003ca href=\"http://www.wbur.org/hereandnow/2017/01/10/ron-johnson-obamacare\" target=\"_blank\">told WBUR's Here and Now\u003c/a>:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"If you had a bridge that's about ready to collapse, you know, the first thing you would do is you'd start working to repair that bridge,\" he said. \"You aren't going to blow it up; I mean, at least people have a bridge to use. Repair that so people can use it while you start building other bridges.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Collins is one of five Republican senators who this week proposed that the resolution provide more time for committees to craft their instructions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One big concern for Republicans here is repealing a law they detest without disrupting the lives of the roughly 20 million people insured because of that law, including \u003ca href=\"http://money.cnn.com/2016/12/21/news/economy/obamacare-enrollment-record/\" target=\"_blank\">6.4 million Americans\u003c/a> insured through ACA exchanges.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Americans definitely want some sort of change -- in \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/2017/01/12/509314717/we-asked-people-what-they-know-about-obamacare-see-if-you-know-the-answers\" target=\"_blank\">an NPR-Ipsos poll released Thursday\u003c/a>, 38 percent said the ACA should be \"strengthened or expanded,\" and close behind, 31 percent said it should be repealed and replaced. Meanwhile, only 6 percent said it should be \"left as-is\" (the poll had a margin of error of plus or minus 3.5 percentage points).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>With reporting from Susan Davis.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Copyright 2017 NPR.

But as the process continues, large questions still loom over how -- and when -- Republicans will replace the health care law.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>An Expedited Repeal, Starting With a Vote-a-Rama\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>The vote took place during a session known as a \"vote-a-rama.\" \u003ca href=\"http://politicaldictionary.com/words/vote-a-rama/\" target=\"_blank\">These all-night vote-fests\u003c/a> happen surrounding budget resolutions, which allow senators to propose unlimited amendments, as the \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2017/01/11/us/politics/vote-a-rama-senate-affordable-care-act.html\" target=\"_blank\">New York Times' Thomas Kaplan\u003c/a> explained this week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The passage of the resolution kicks off the budget reconciliation process. That process is special because a reconciliation measure cannot be filibustered, meaning it allows the Senate to pass a bill with a simple majority (as opposed to needing 60 votes to overcome a filibuster). That's good for Republicans, who hold 52 of the Senate's 100 seats.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Once repeal legislation is drafted, both houses can pass it with a simple majority, and then it would go to President Trump for signature.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Should that repeal legislation pass both houses and be signed by a President Trump, it would cut out important provisions of Obamacare, but would still not repeal the entire law.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Budget reconciliation allows Congress only to repeal parts of the bill -- more specifically, the parts that deal with how much the government spends or taxes people. That means this process can't repeal, for example, the parts of the bill that allow young adults to stay on their parents' insurance or the rules saying companies couldn't deny coverage for people with pre-existing conditions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But those are the parts of the law that end up costing a lot of money, while the parts that can be repealed through budget reconciliation -- like the mandate that people have coverage (which is enforced through a tax), billions of dollars in Medicaid funds and subsidies for private coverage -- bring money into the system to help balance out the cost equation.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Democrats Try to Send Their Own Messages\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Democrats went into Wednesday night with a messaging plan: Use vote-a-rama to get Republicans on the record about what may come next. That plan consisted of proposing amendment after amendment to force Republicans to vote on Medicaid expansion, funding for rural hospitals, women's access to health care and other popular programs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Democrats know this is a train they can't stop. As the night drew to a close, all they could do was stage a protest.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Senators aren't supposed to give speeches during a vote, but Sen. Tammy Duckworth, D-Illinois, a disabled Iraq War veteran, ignored the rule.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As the presiding senator was gaveling for order, Duckworth said, \"For all those with pre-existing conditions, I stand on prosthetic legs to vote no!\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The gaveling continued as Sen. Al Franken, D-Minnesota, said, \"I vote no on behalf of the more than 2.3 million Minnesotans who can no longer be discriminated against because of the ACA!\"\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>What's Next (And When)? That's Complicated ...\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Republicans are united on wanting to repeal Obamacare. But they're more divided over the time frame of that repeal, as well as what happens next.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At one point, it \u003ca href=\"http://www.politico.com/story/2016/12/obamacare-republicans-repeal-replace-232025\" target=\"_blank\">appeared likely\u003c/a> that congressional Republicans would take a \"repeal and delay\" approach -- that is, pass repeal legislation that would only be implemented far down the road, to allow time to craft a replacement for Obamacare.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But now divisions are growing. \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2017/01/10/us/repeal-affordable-care-act-donald-trump.html\" target=\"_blank\">House Speaker Paul Ryan\u003c/a> this week said he would like a repeal and a replacement for Obamacare to come \"concurrently.\" And in a \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/2017/01/11/509137239/watch-live-trump-holds-first-press-conference-as-president-elect\" target=\"_blank\">Wednesday press conference\u003c/a>, President-elect Donald Trump indicated that he would like the two to happen in quick succession, though he didn't provide much more clarity on that time frame.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It will be repeal and replace. It will be essentially simultaneously,\" he said. Later, he added, \"It will be various segments, you understand, but will most likely be on the same day or the same week -- but probably the same day -- could be a same hour.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other Republicans, however, believe the process won't be so abbreviated.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I don't see any possibility of our being able to come up with a comprehensive reform bill that would replace Obamacare by the end of this month,\" said Maine Republican Sen. Susan Collins.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wisconsin Republican Sen. Ron Johnson also seemed to say on Tuesday that the process could take a while, involving multiple intermediate steps. As he \u003ca href=\"http://www.wbur.org/hereandnow/2017/01/10/ron-johnson-obamacare\" target=\"_blank\">told WBUR's Here and Now\u003c/a>:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"If you had a bridge that's about ready to collapse, you know, the first thing you would do is you'd start working to repair that bridge,\" he said. \"You aren't going to blow it up; I mean, at least people have a bridge to use. Repair that so people can use it while you start building other bridges.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Collins is one of five Republican senators who this week proposed that the resolution provide more time for committees to craft their instructions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One big concern for Republicans here is repealing a law they detest without disrupting the lives of the roughly 20 million people insured because of that law, including \u003ca href=\"http://money.cnn.com/2016/12/21/news/economy/obamacare-enrollment-record/\" target=\"_blank\">6.4 million Americans\u003c/a> insured through ACA exchanges.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Americans definitely want some sort of change -- in \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/2017/01/12/509314717/we-asked-people-what-they-know-about-obamacare-see-if-you-know-the-answers\" target=\"_blank\">an NPR-Ipsos poll released Thursday\u003c/a>, 38 percent said the ACA should be \"strengthened or expanded,\" and close behind, 31 percent said it should be repealed and replaced.

He has spent nearly all of his life in that system and has just turned 21. In California, that's the age when people in foster care \"age out\" of the system and lose the benefits the system provides. That process becomes official at a final court hearing. Anaya, along with Youth Radio, got rare permission to record the proceeding, where \u003c/em>\u003cem>he read a letter he wrote about his experience in the foster care system.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[http_redir]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe src=\"https://www.npr.org/player/embed/508608745/509179603\" width=\"100%\" height=\"290\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" title=\"NPR embedded audio player\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Walking into court for my very last time as a foster youth, I feel like I'm getting a divorce from a system that I've been in a relationship with almost my entire life. It's bittersweet because I'm losing guaranteed stipends for food and housing, as well as access to my social workers and my lawyer. But on the other hand, I'm relieved to finally get away from a system that ultimately failed me on its biggest promise: that one day it would find me a family who would love me.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Little things, like when my judge Shawna Schwarz mispronounces my name, serve as a constant reminder that, \"Hey, I'm just a number.\" I often come away feeling powerless and anonymous in the foster care system.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Well, I'm reviewing my notes and it looks like the first time I got involved in your case was back in 2003,\" Schwarz says. \"You've been in the system a long time.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I don't have any pictures of my five siblings and me together as babies.

My father was abusive. Eventually Child Protective Services got involved, and my siblings and I went into the foster care system.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We were separated and shuffled between foster homes, group homes, shelters, and for at least one of my siblings, incarceration.

He has spent nearly all of his life in that system and has just turned 21. In California, that's the age when people in foster care \"age out\" of the system and lose the benefits the system provides. That process becomes official at a final court hearing. Anaya, along with Youth Radio, got rare permission to record the proceeding, where \u003c/em>\u003cem>he read a letter he wrote about his experience in the foster care system.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[http_redir]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe src=\"https://www.npr.org/player/embed/508608745/509179603\" width=\"100%\" height=\"290\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" title=\"NPR embedded audio player\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Walking into court for my very last time as a foster youth, I feel like I'm getting a divorce from a system that I've been in a relationship with almost my entire life. It's bittersweet because I'm losing guaranteed stipends for food and housing, as well as access to my social workers and my lawyer. But on the other hand, I'm relieved to finally get away from a system that ultimately failed me on its biggest promise: that one day it would find me a family who would love me.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Little things, like when my judge Shawna Schwarz mispronounces my name, serve as a constant reminder that, \"Hey, I'm just a number.\" I often come away feeling powerless and anonymous in the foster care system.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

When it's stable and appropriate, the preference is to reunite kids with their parents or family members. Adoption is the next best option. I used to dream of it. Having a mom and dad, siblings to play with ... a dog. But when I hit 12, I realized that I was getting old. That adoption probably would never happen for me.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the system, I constantly had new social workers, lawyers and case managers, which left me vulnerable. It wasn't until I got older that I realized one of the main causes for the turnover was because of low wages and overflowing caseloads.

"content": "\u003cp>President Obama reflected on the achievements of his eight years in the White House on Tuesday night, telling supporters in his hometown of Chicago that they were instrumental in helping him boost the nation's economy, create his signature health care reform law and extend equal rights to more Americans:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\"If I had told you eight years ago that America would reverse a great recession, reboot our auto industry, and unleash the longest stretch of job creation in our history, if I had told you that we would open up a new chapter with the Cuban people, shut down Iran's nuclear weapons program without firing a shot, and take out the mastermind of 9/11, if I had told you that we would win marriage equality, and secure the right to health insurance for another 20 million of our fellow citizens — you might have said our sights were set a little too high.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"But that's what we did. That's what you did. You were the change. You answered people's hopes, and because of you, by almost every measure, America is a better, stronger place than it was when we started.\"\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>The roughly one-hour farewell address was replete with the kind of soaring, hopeful rhetoric that propelled a first-term, 47-year-old senator to the Oval Office eight years ago and got him re-elected four years ago. He reflected on his roots as a community organizer and how the Windy City had shaped who he was as a man and as a public servant. And he grew emotional at points, especially when he thanked his wife, Michelle, daughters Sasha and Malia, and Vice President Biden.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"That faith I placed all those years ago, not far from here, in the power of ordinary Americans to bring about change — that faith has been rewarded in ways I couldn't possibly have imagined. I hope yours has, too,\" the president said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=udrKnXueTW0\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Obama also acknowledged the country's deep divisions that have been exposed by a tumultuous election and defended the very foundations of democracy in the U.S. and abroad, just a week before President-elect Donald Trump is sworn in.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"For too many of us, it's become safer to retreat into our own bubbles, whether in our neighborhoods or college campuses or places of worship or our social media feeds, surrounded by people who look like us and share the same political outlook and never challenge our assumptions,\" the president said. \"The rise of naked partisanship, increasing economic and regional stratification, the splintering of our media into a channel for every taste — all this makes this great sorting seem natural, even inevitable. And increasingly, we become so secure in our bubbles that we accept only information, whether true or not, that fits our opinions, instead of basing our opinions on the evidence that's out there.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He added emphatically:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\"This trend represents a third threat to our democracy. Politics is a battle of ideas; in the course of a healthy debate, we'll prioritize different goals, and the different means of reaching them. But without some common baseline of facts, without a willingness to admit new information, and concede that your opponent is making a fair point, and that science and reason matter, we'll keep talking past each other, making common ground and compromise impossible.\"\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>It was the most direct allusion the president would make toward his successor and his supporters, coming the same day that \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2017/01/10/509223836/trump-denies-allegations-of-secret-ties-collusion-between-campaign-and-russia\">stories broke\u003c/a> that top U.S. intelligence officials had documents alleging collusion between Russia and the president-elect. Trump has denied those allegations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"FqRur6hvpr1MgvVQRnDkRJju9pQq2SlG\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Obama mentioned the incoming commander in chief by name only once, saying, \"I committed to President-elect Trump that my administration would ensure the smoothest possible transition, just as President Bush did for me.\" Obama quieted the crowd's boos when he added, \"In 10 days, the world will witness a hallmark of our democracy: The peaceful transfer of power from one freely elected president to the next.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But with Obama's later comments about the future of democracy, it was clear he had concerns about the president-elect's rhetoric on foreign adversaries, such as Russia, and throughout the campaign, especially against Muslim-Americans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Democracy can buckle when we give in to fear. So just as we, as citizens, must remain vigilant against external aggression, we must guard against a weakening of the values that make us who we are. That's why, for the past eight years, I've worked to put the fight against terrorism on a firm legal footing. That's why we've ended torture, worked to close Gitmo, and reform our laws governing surveillance to protect privacy and civil liberties. That's why I reject discrimination against Muslim-Americans,\" Obama said, drawing a sustained standing ovation from the crowd.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"So let's be vigilant, but not afraid,\" the president continued. \"ISIL will try to kill innocent people. But they cannot defeat America unless we betray our Constitution and our principles in the fight.

That's what you did. You were the change. You answered people's hopes, and because of you, by almost every measure, America is a better, stronger place than it was when we started.\"\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>The roughly one-hour farewell address was replete with the kind of soaring, hopeful rhetoric that propelled a first-term, 47-year-old senator to the Oval Office eight years ago and got him re-elected four years ago. He reflected on his roots as a community organizer and how the Windy City had shaped who he was as a man and as a public servant. And he grew emotional at points, especially when he thanked his wife, Michelle, daughters Sasha and Malia, and Vice President Biden.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"That faith I placed all those years ago, not far from here, in the power of ordinary Americans to bring about change — that faith has been rewarded in ways I couldn't possibly have imagined.

And increasingly, we become so secure in our bubbles that we accept only information, whether true or not, that fits our opinions, instead of basing our opinions on the evidence that's out there.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He added emphatically:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\"This trend represents a third threat to our democracy. Politics is a battle of ideas; in the course of a healthy debate, we'll prioritize different goals, and the different means of reaching them. But without some common baseline of facts, without a willingness to admit new information, and concede that your opponent is making a fair point, and that science and reason matter, we'll keep talking past each other, making common ground and compromise impossible.\"\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>It was the most direct allusion the president would make toward his successor and his supporters, coming the same day that \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2017/01/10/509223836/trump-denies-allegations-of-secret-ties-collusion-between-campaign-and-russia\">stories broke\u003c/a> that top U.S. intelligence officials had documents alleging collusion between Russia and the president-elect.

So just as we, as citizens, must remain vigilant against external aggression, we must guard against a weakening of the values that make us who we are. That's why, for the past eight years, I've worked to put the fight against terrorism on a firm legal footing. That's why we've ended torture, worked to close Gitmo, and reform our laws governing surveillance to protect privacy and civil liberties. That's why I reject discrimination against Muslim-Americans,\" Obama said, drawing a sustained standing ovation from the crowd.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"So let's be vigilant, but not afraid,\" the president continued. \"ISIL will try to kill innocent people. But they cannot defeat America unless we betray our Constitution and our principles in the fight. Rivals like Russia or China cannot match our influence around the world — unless we give up what we stand for, and turn ourselves into just another big country that bullies smaller neighbors.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Obama reflected on his own historic place as the country's first African-American president, but he admitted that his election did not do away with racial tensions — and that it never was going to.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"After my election, there was talk of a post-racial America.

He wouldn't say Thursday what it is, but it has been widely reported that the intelligence agencies agree that Russia was trying to get Donald Trump elected.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"EXLCtTkkxcmHrljYH6TR2Y1PB0urYZ42\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Clapper also said he will \"push the envelope\" to make much of that report unclassified without jeopardizing sources or intelligence-gathering details.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The public should know as much about this as possible,\" Clapper said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In addition to Clapper, testifying before the committee were Defense Undersecretary Marcel Lettre and Adm. Michael Rogers, commander of the U.S. Cyber Command of the National Security Agency. All three will be leaving their positions at the end of the Obama administration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of the first questions from McCain was about the involvement of WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange. WikiLeaks. WikiLeaks published emails — from the account of Hillary Clinton's campaign manager John Podesta — that the intelligence community says were hacked by the Russians.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Assange has denied the Russian government gave WikiLeaks the emails. McCain asked Clapper if Assange had any credibility.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Not in my view,\" Clapper said, adding that Assange \"has put people at risk\" with revelations about U.S. intelligence gathering. \"I don't think those of us in the intelligence community have a whole lot of respect for him,\" Clapper said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>President-elect Trump, however, has openly questioned whether Russia was involved in the hacking, pointed to errors the intelligence community made over the existence of weapons of mass destruction in Iraq and has appeared to back Assange in tweets.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/816999062562107392\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/817004210529116160\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Clapper also said there is a difference \"between skepticism and disparagement\" of the intelligence community. Trump has taken to Twitter, referring to \"Intelligence\" and its officials in quotations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Clapper also testified that there is no evidence the Russian hacking changed vote tallies \"or anything of that sort.\" He did say, however, there is no way of gauging the impact of Russia's actions \"on choices the electorate made.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>McCain asked Clapper if the Russian cyber-intrusion constituted \"an act of war.\" Clapper responded that constitutes \"a very heavy policy call,\" which, he said, \"I don't think the intelligence communities should make.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But he did say what was done carried \"great gravity.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Clapper added that Russia deployed more than just cyberattacks in its effort to disrupt the election, calling it a multifaceted campaign. \"The hacking was only one part of it,\" he said. \"It also entailed classical propaganda, disinformation, fake news,\" which he said was still going on.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There was a fair amount of talk about rocks and glass houses, with Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina calling the Obama administration's response to the hacking, a set of limited economic sanctions, just \"a pebble.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"When it comes to interfering with our election,\" Graham said, \"we better be ready to throw rocks.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sen. Thom Tillis, R-N.C., noted the U.S. has also attempted to interfere in other nations' elections. \"We live in a big glass house,\" Tillis said, \"and there are a lot of rocks to throw.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Copyright 2017 NPR.

He wouldn't say Thursday what it is, but it has been widely reported that the intelligence agencies agree that Russia was trying to get Donald Trump elected.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Clapper also said he will \"push the envelope\" to make much of that report unclassified without jeopardizing sources or intelligence-gathering details.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The public should know as much about this as possible,\" Clapper said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In addition to Clapper, testifying before the committee were Defense Undersecretary Marcel Lettre and Adm. Michael Rogers, commander of the U.S. Cyber Command of the National Security Agency. All three will be leaving their positions at the end of the Obama administration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of the first questions from McCain was about the involvement of WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange. WikiLeaks. WikiLeaks published emails — from the account of Hillary Clinton's campaign manager John Podesta — that the intelligence community says were hacked by the Russians.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Assange has denied the Russian government gave WikiLeaks the emails. McCain asked Clapper if Assange had any credibility.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Not in my view,\" Clapper said, adding that Assange \"has put people at risk\" with revelations about U.S. intelligence gathering. \"I don't think those of us in the intelligence community have a whole lot of respect for him,\" Clapper said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>President-elect Trump, however, has openly questioned whether Russia was involved in the hacking, pointed to errors the intelligence community made over the existence of weapons of mass destruction in Iraq and has appeared to back Assange in tweets.\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"content": "\u003cp>Here’s a timely reminder for all you would-be revelers out there: Be careful with your countdowns this New Year’s Eve. There will be a little extra time to bask in the glow of a retreating 2016 — or curse its name, \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/2016/12/28/506718757/should-we-all-just-stop-calling-2016-the-worst\">as the case may be.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Whatever your inclination, one thing is certain: Before the year is out, the world’s foremost authority on time will be adding one more second to the clock.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a \u003ca href=\"https://datacenter.iers.org/web/guest/eop/-/somos/5Rgv/latest/16\">bulletin released\u003c/a> this summer, the International Earth Rotation and Reference Systems Service, or IERS, said it would be necessary to introduce a “leap second” at the end of December. Timekeepers use this added second much as leap years are used — to bring the world’s atomic clocks in sync with the Earth’s own distinctive rhythm, which in this case is determined by its rotation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This leap second isn’t the first. Since 1971, the world has added leap seconds with some regularity — typically every two to three years — and the latest leap second was added \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2015/06/30/418594948/11-59-60-look-for-an-extra-tick-of-the-clock-tonight\">only last year\u003c/a>, in June.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Why do these leap seconds keep cropping up? Peter Whibberley, a research scientist with the U.K.’s National Physical Laboratory, \u003ca href=\"http://www.npl.co.uk/news/what-will-you-do-with-your-extra-second\">explains it this way\u003c/a>:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>“Atomic clocks are more than a million times better at keeping time than the rotation of the Earth, which fluctuates unpredictably. Leap seconds are needed to prevent civil time drifting away from Earth time. Although the drift is small — taking around a thousand years to accumulate a one-hour difference — if not corrected, it would eventually result in clocks showing midday before sunrise.”\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Recent research appears to back up Whibberley’s assessment. According to a study published earlier this month in \u003ca href=\"http://rspa.royalsocietypublishing.org/content/472/2196/20160404\">the Proceedings of the Royal Society A\u003c/a>, Earth’s rotation has slowed about 1.8 milliseconds per day — which means the solar day itself has lengthened, little by little. The researchers based this assessment on records dating back to 760 B.C., long before the implementation of the precise atomic clocks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The \u003ca href=\"http://www.latimes.com/science/sciencenow/la-sci-sn-earth-longer-days-20161205-story.html\">Los Angeles Times\u003c/a> broke down the findings: “If humanity had been measuring time with an atomic clock that started running back in 700 BC, today that clock would read 7 p.m. when the sun is directly overhead rather than noon.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, however useful they may seem, these little extras can occasionally cause some big frustrations, as \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/2015/06/30/418924569/to-keep-up-with-earths-rotation-clocks-will-tick-an-extra-second-tonight\">NPR’s Geoff Brumfiel notes\u003c/a>:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>“Leap seconds have crashed airline reservation systems. They’re believed to have briefly shut down Russia’s GPS satellite system, and there’s potential for even greater mischief as things like financial trading become ever more precise in their use of time.”\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>And those issues have earned the humble leap second its fair share of critics, who argue that it is standing in the way of the precision promised by atomic clocks. These critics would prefer the steadiness that may come with unmooring the world’s measurement of time from its astronomical inspiration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The debate has persisted \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2012/01/17/145355481/worlds-time-keepers-will-decide-the-fate-of-the-leap-second\">for years\u003c/a>, leaving the leap second with an uncertain fate. The United Nations \u003ca href=\"http://phys.org/news/2015-11-thoughts-countries-decision.html\">announced last year\u003c/a> that it will be postponing its decision on whether to keep the leap second around, saying that “further studies are required on the impact and application of a future reference time-scale.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The organization is not expected to return to the decision until 2023.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>All this is to say: Whether you like it or not, the leap second will be sticking around a while longer — and so will 2016, even if only by a single second.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Copyright 2016 NPR.

There will be a little extra time to bask in the glow of a retreating 2016 — or curse its name, \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/2016/12/28/506718757/should-we-all-just-stop-calling-2016-the-worst\">as the case may be.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Whatever your inclination, one thing is certain: Before the year is out, the world’s foremost authority on time will be adding one more second to the clock.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a \u003ca href=\"https://datacenter.iers.org/web/guest/eop/-/somos/5Rgv/latest/16\">bulletin released\u003c/a> this summer, the International Earth Rotation and Reference Systems Service, or IERS, said it would be necessary to introduce a “leap second” at the end of December. Timekeepers use this added second much as leap years are used — to bring the world’s atomic clocks in sync with the Earth’s own distinctive rhythm, which in this case is determined by its rotation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This leap second isn’t the first. Since 1971, the world has added leap seconds with some regularity — typically every two to three years — and the latest leap second was added \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2015/06/30/418594948/11-59-60-look-for-an-extra-tick-of-the-clock-tonight\">only last year\u003c/a>, in June.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Why do these leap seconds keep cropping up? Peter Whibberley, a research scientist with the U.K.’s National Physical Laboratory, \u003ca href=\"http://www.npl.co.uk/news/what-will-you-do-with-your-extra-second\">explains it this way\u003c/a>:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>“Atomic clocks are more than a million times better at keeping time than the rotation of the Earth, which fluctuates unpredictably. Leap seconds are needed to prevent civil time drifting away from Earth time. Although the drift is small — taking around a thousand years to accumulate a one-hour difference — if not corrected, it would eventually result in clocks showing midday before sunrise.”\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Recent research appears to back up Whibberley’s assessment. According to a study published earlier this month in \u003ca href=\"http://rspa.royalsocietypublishing.org/content/472/2196/20160404\">the Proceedings of the Royal Society A\u003c/a>, Earth’s rotation has slowed about 1.8 milliseconds per day — which means the solar day itself has lengthened, little by little. The researchers based this assessment on records dating back to 760 B.C., long before the implementation of the precise atomic clocks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

They’re believed to have briefly shut down Russia’s GPS satellite system, and there’s potential for even greater mischief as things like financial trading become ever more precise in their use of time.”\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>And those issues have earned the humble leap second its fair share of critics, who argue that it is standing in the way of the precision promised by atomic clocks. These critics would prefer the steadiness that may come with unmooring the world’s measurement of time from its astronomical inspiration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The debate has persisted \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2012/01/17/145355481/worlds-time-keepers-will-decide-the-fate-of-the-leap-second\">for years\u003c/a>, leaving the leap second with an uncertain fate. The United Nations \u003ca href=\"http://phys.org/news/2015-11-thoughts-countries-decision.html\">announced last year\u003c/a> that it will be postponing its decision on whether to keep the leap second around, saying that “further studies are required on the impact and application of a future reference time-scale.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The organization is not expected to return to the decision until 2023.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>All this is to say: Whether you like it or not, the leap second will be sticking around a while longer — and so will 2016, even if only by a single second.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Copyright 2016 NPR.

Tom Price, Trump's pick for the Department of Health and Human Services and a longtime Medicare critic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Democrats think they can generate a lot of positive headlines by grilling Trump's Cabinet picks. \"These are, with a few exceptions, radical nominees, the likes of which we have never seen in this country,\" said Sen. Chris Murphy of Connecticut.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Democrats see hearings as a way to continue emphasizing their key concerns about Trump, like the fact he never released his tax returns, and the ongoing question of how he'll avoid conflict-of-interest problems as president.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They see Secretary of State nominee Rex Tillerson's hearing as an avenue to highlight Russia's attempt to disrupt the presidential race, and Trump's warm words toward Russian President Vladimir Putin.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>A big choice on Obamacare\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But highlighting contrasts can go only so far, when Republicans set the congressional agenda.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At some point, Democrats still face a choice. Do they do their best to block every single big initiative, or try to work with Republicans to make it more Democrat-friendly?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sarah Binder studies Congress at the Brookings Institution, and said Democrats do have leverage. \"On most measures, whether it's spending bills, deregulation, repeal Dodd-Frank. That all requires cooperation from at least eight Democrats.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That's because while Republicans will control the Senate with 52 seats, they'll need at least 60 votes to advance bills in the chamber.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The hardest political calculus could be Obamacare.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Republicans can repeal the landmark law without any Democratic votes, using the budget reconciliation process that helped pass the initial law. But they'd need Democratic support in the Senate to pass a replacement plan, since the measure would be subject to filibuster.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Blocking any sort of replacement plan, and then trying to lay the blame for disappearing health care coverage on Trump and Republicans, would be a bold, if callous, political move.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Are they kind of, as a party, constitutionally adverse to that type of strategy? Many people think so,\" said Binder. \"That they just value government and legislative action too much to do that to the process.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Indeed, many Democrats might want to work with Republicans to keep as much of Obamacare as they can.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But helping give Trump a big legislative accomplishment could make him more popular. And it could anger progressive activists.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It is the responsibility of this minority of Democrats in Congress to block, obstruct, disrupt and do whatever they can,\" filmmaker Michael Moore recently argued on CNN.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He issued a warning to Democrats who may consider cutting deals with Trump: \"In the same way that the Tea Party was there in 2009, myself and thousands like me are going to be at those town halls in the district in the spring. And we will primary these Democrats if they don't do their job.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Warnings like that may be why leaders like Schumer are quick to qualify any talk about working with Trump on issues like infrastructure spending. \"When we oppose Trump on values, or if his presidency takes a dark, divisive turn, we're going to do it tooth-and-nail,\" he told ABC News.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pelosi knows Democrats all across the country are anxious. But she's urging patience as the party tries to make its case to voters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Somebody used the analogy of, it's like telling somebody they married the wrong person or their art is fake,\" she recently told reporters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The first scenario is something many people have seen happen to a friend or family member. The second? Maybe not as much. Still, Pelosi's point was that American voters did choose Trump and the GOP this year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"They bought it. They'll find out sooner or later whether they made a mistake,\" she said, arguing that it's better to let the married couple or art connoisseur make that discovery themselves, than to be told by an outside party.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pelosi has seen voters reject Democrats, come back to the party, and then reject them again.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She said she is patient enough to point out the key differences between the parties, and wait for voters to eventually come back.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Copyright 2016 NPR.

Tom Price, Trump's pick for the Department of Health and Human Services and a longtime Medicare critic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Democrats think they can generate a lot of positive headlines by grilling Trump's Cabinet picks. \"These are, with a few exceptions, radical nominees, the likes of which we have never seen in this country,\" said Sen. Chris Murphy of Connecticut.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Democrats see hearings as a way to continue emphasizing their key concerns about Trump, like the fact he never released his tax returns, and the ongoing question of how he'll avoid conflict-of-interest problems as president.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They see Secretary of State nominee Rex Tillerson's hearing as an avenue to highlight Russia's attempt to disrupt the presidential race, and Trump's warm words toward Russian President Vladimir Putin.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>A big choice on Obamacare\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But highlighting contrasts can go only so far, when Republicans set the congressional agenda.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At some point, Democrats still face a choice. Do they do their best to block every single big initiative, or try to work with Republicans to make it more Democrat-friendly?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sarah Binder studies Congress at the Brookings Institution, and said Democrats do have leverage. \"On most measures, whether it's spending bills, deregulation, repeal Dodd-Frank. That all requires cooperation from at least eight Democrats.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That's because while Republicans will control the Senate with 52 seats, they'll need at least 60 votes to advance bills in the chamber.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The hardest political calculus could be Obamacare.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Republicans can repeal the landmark law without any Democratic votes, using the budget reconciliation process that helped pass the initial law. But they'd need Democratic support in the Senate to pass a replacement plan, since the measure would be subject to filibuster.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Blocking any sort of replacement plan, and then trying to lay the blame for disappearing health care coverage on Trump and Republicans, would be a bold, if callous, political move.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Are they kind of, as a party, constitutionally adverse to that type of strategy? Many people think so,\" said Binder. \"That they just value government and legislative action too much to do that to the process.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Indeed, many Democrats might want to work with Republicans to keep as much of Obamacare as they can.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But helping give Trump a big legislative accomplishment could make him more popular. And it could anger progressive activists.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It is the responsibility of this minority of Democrats in Congress to block, obstruct, disrupt and do whatever they can,\" filmmaker Michael Moore recently argued on CNN.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He issued a warning to Democrats who may consider cutting deals with Trump: \"In the same way that the Tea Party was there in 2009, myself and thousands like me are going to be at those town halls in the district in the spring. And we will primary these Democrats if they don't do their job.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Warnings like that may be why leaders like Schumer are quick to qualify any talk about working with Trump on issues like infrastructure spending. \"When we oppose Trump on values, or if his presidency takes a dark, divisive turn, we're going to do it tooth-and-nail,\" he told ABC News.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pelosi knows Democrats all across the country are anxious. But she's urging patience as the party tries to make its case to voters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Somebody used the analogy of, it's like telling somebody they married the wrong person or their art is fake,\" she recently told reporters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The first scenario is something many people have seen happen to a friend or family member. The second? Maybe not as much. Still, Pelosi's point was that American voters did choose Trump and the GOP this year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"They bought it. They'll find out sooner or later whether they made a mistake,\" she said, arguing that it's better to let the married couple or art connoisseur make that discovery themselves, than to be told by an outside party.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pelosi has seen voters reject Democrats, come back to the party, and then reject them again.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She said she is patient enough to point out the key differences between the parties, and wait for voters to eventually come back.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
