2. Trump Pressures Republicans to Support Obamacare Replacement:
In response to the waning support for the proposed bill to replace the ACA, Trump has issued a warning to any Republicans with second thoughts about voting against it. He even went so far as to say that he was going to "come after" Mark Meadows, a Republican representative and chairman of the conservative Freedom Caucus who has been less than supportive of the bill.

Ivanka Trump will carry no official title or salary but will have security clearance and access to classified information. "While there is no modern precedent for an adult child of the president, I will voluntarily follow all of the ethics rules placed on government employees. I will continue to offer my father my candid advice and counsel, as I have for my entire life," said Ivanka. Despite Ivanka's statement there are still concerns that this may be an ethics violation, given the anti-nepotism laws the government has in place.
