Click here Late-night talk show host Jimmy Kimmel continued his crusade against a Senate bill meant to repeal the Affordable Care Act on Thursday night with a pointed attack against President Donald Trump.For the past three nights, Kimmel has used his opening monologue to target legislation co-sponsored by Sens.

He’d sign copies of the Quran at the Barnes and Noble in Fallujah if it meant he could get rid of Obamacare.”WHAT ELSE IS HAPPENING?President Donald Trump called North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un a "madman" who would be "tested like never before." Trump's comments came hours after the rogue nation threatened to test a hydrogen bomb in the Pacific.A spokesperson for HHS Secretary Tom Price said he used private jets in order to connect with ordinary Americans. The cost of the trips exceeded $300,000.A GOP congressman told flood victims "at some point God is telling you to move." “The federal government is encouraging and subsidizing people to live in harm’s way.”ICYMI
