May 5, 2017
Good morning from Washington, where President Trump and House Republicans are celebrating passage, with one vote to spare, of a revised bill to replace Obamacare. Now the action moves to the Senate. We've got stories from Melissa Quinn and Rachel del Guidice, along with commentary from Bob Moffit and Jean Morrow. Trump pleases many Americans with an executive order protecting religious freedom, as Fred Lucas reports, but the action doesn't go nearly far enough, Ryan T. Anderson argues. Plus: Nolan Peterson on the mood before Sunday's presidential election in France, and Beverly Hallberg on what Jimmy Kimmel's personal story says about our society. Have a great weekend.
