WASHINGTON (AP) — A federal judge ruled Thursday that the Obama administration is unconstitutionally spending federal money to fund the president's health care law.
The ruling from U.S. District Judge Rosemary Collyer is a win for House Republicans who brought the politically charged legal challenge in an effort to undermine the law.
BOSTON – Massachusetts Gov. Charlie Baker remains the country's most popular governor, according to a survey released Thursday by Morning Consult in Washington, and the Republican stands even taller when compared with his fellow New England governors.
Connecticut Gov. Dan Malloy and Rhode Island Gov. Gina Raimondo, both Democrats, as well as Maine Republican Gov. Paul LePage all appear on the list of the 10 least popular state chief executives. Malloy ranked next-to-last in the nation, with a 29 percent job approval rating. In New Hampshire, Gov. Maggie Hassan had a 56 percent job approval rating. Hassan, a Democrat, is running for the U.S. Senate seat held by Republican Kelly Ayotte.
