So, after a day of abject back-and-forth chaos on the Republican side of the aisle, Paul Ryan has yanked the AHCA Bill designed to repeal and replace ObamaCare. Details are still sketchy, but CNN reports that this was done at President Trump's request.

It will probably take a while to sort out precisely what happened (aside from the obvious fact that they didn't muster the votes to pass their own bill) but Paul Ryan has scheduled a press conference for 4 P.M. Eastern.
You can watch it below but be warned; his remarks will be followed immediately by those of Nancy Pelosi, so be sure to keep your finger on the off switch so you can cut her off before she starts babbling.
Honestly, this is probably a smart move since the self-imposed high pressure time table never really made much sense in the first place. We don't have to do this quickly, we have to do it right. Hopefully, all parties will be back at it soon.
