House tax chief says Obamacare taxes not part of tax reform
The Republican-controlled U.S. House of Representatives will not seek to repeal Obamacare taxes as a part of expected tax reform legislation, the top House Republican on tax policy said on Monday.
“We never envisioned bringing Obamacare taxes into that (reform) effort and I still don’t,” House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Kevin Brady told reporters.
Obamacare taxes “go away when we repeal and replace. And so regrettably, they stay in place,” Brady said.

Detroit ballot counter recalls scary scene when Trump supporters attacked: ‘They could have broken the glass’
Detroit, Michigan ballot counter Chiara Clayton told Cosmopolitan about her experience being attacked by President Donald Trump's supporters while trying to tally the vote on Wednesday. Everything was calm and peaceful until a Facebook post went up telling Trump fans, “Everyone come down to TCF, we’re going to demand to be let in.”
Up until that point, the group of Republican ballot watchers were following the rules, which demanded that they stay six feet from the tables where the counters were and remained respectful.
Defense Secretary Mark Esper has prepped a resignation letter officials told NBC News on Thursday. Just two days after the election and before the official result was announced, Esper explained that he anticipated he'd be fired by President Donald Trump anyway.
"While Esper considered issuing a directive that would order the secretaries of the Army, Navy and Air Force to change the names in their respective services — an order that could be overturned by Trump, who has strongly opposed renaming bases — he now plans to work with Congress to put language in the annual National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) so the name changes will be written into law," recalled NBC News.

‘I’m done. I’m out’: Conservative officially leaving the GOP after the party fails to repudiate ‘sociopath’ Trump on Election Day
Conservative consultant and commentator Tara Setmayer announced she was officially leaving the GOP after watching this election.
The 25-year Republican explained that "as a principled conservative and more importantly, American, I can no longer associate with a GOP that’s fully embraced the malignancy of Trumpism."
She then hashtagged "Country over Party."
In a video explaining her position, Setmayer welcomed colleagues from the Lincoln Project and told them the way that the GOP has "abdicated their responsibilities and made a mockery of their oaths of office" led her to leave. She said that they now stand for everything that she is against as a conservative.
