					<description><![CDATA[If the latest Republican proposal to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act passed in the U.S. Senate next week, Kathy Castor believes it would be &#8220;devastating&#8221; to Florida families. &#8220;We’re dealing with devastation from the hurricane, but here is a bill that’s going to be devastating to families all across America,&#8221; the Tampa Democratic congresswoman said at a news conference Thursday in front of a Tampa Family Health Center in North Tampa. The bill, sponsored by South Carolina Republican Lindsey Graham&#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Three days after House Republicans passed a repeal of the Affordable Care Act, a group of St. Petersburg residents, joined by Congressman Charlie Crist, is organizing some voter pushback against  the “horrible bill.” Approximately 70 citizens met up with the St. Petersburg Democrat in North Straub Park Sunday afternoon to announce that they intend to &#8220;stand up and fight back&#8221; against the bill, viewed by many as the biggest legislative victory in the young Trump presidency. &#8220;It was a horrible bill then —&#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Over five years, the University of South Florida received more than $260 million in federal funding from the National Institutes of Health; money which helped propel the Tampa campus as a leader in medical research. But officials with the USF Health Morsani College of Medicine and Congresswoman Kathy Castor say that the innovative breakthroughs throughout the USF medical system would be seriously in peril if President Donald Trump gets his way in his recently unveiled budget and cuts funding to the NIH&#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Betsy DeVos cleared a major hurdle in the Senate to become the next education secretary despite vigorous opposition from Democrats. Senators voted 52-48 to cut off debate at dawn Friday, setting the stage for a final confirmation vote next week on President Donald Trump&#8216;s nominee. DeVos, a billionaire Republican donor, has faced fierce criticism from labor unions for her promotion of school choice. Democrats and labor unions have accused her of seeking to dismantle public education and divert funds to&#8230;]]></description>

Spicer says President Donald Trump has yet to make a final decision about how the U.S. will recoup the costs of his proposed border wall.

					<description><![CDATA[Had a modern Rip Van Winkle, who happened to be a Republican, fallen asleep 20 years ago, he might think that he had awakened now in hell. His choice in the 1996 party primaries for president would have been among a 10-person field including Bob Dole, the senator and eventual nominee; Sen. Richard Lugar of Indiana, Gov.
