Rep. Richard Nolan, Democrat of Minnesota, emerged from a Wednesday meeting with administration officials on Capitol Hill and told reporters the rollout has "damaged the brand" of the health care law.

On the cusp of her 50th birthday, writer and mother of three Joy Cipoletti made the agonizing decision to leave her husband and start her life anew. Below, Cipoletti, who blogs regularly at The Divorced Breadwinner Mom, explains what went into her decision to divorce, and what life was like after the split.
What’s it like to be divorced in midlife? In a word, freeing.
Like to munch on those gummy bears or jelly beans or candy corn as you spruce up your Halloween costume? Well, for every handful of what you think might be good, clean fun or a childhood sense memory, you’re putting money into the pocket of one of the men who’s trying to take away the rights of trans and non-gender-conforming expressive students.
These are kids like 12-year-old Jazz, who wanted to play on the girls’ soccer team at school, and 6-year-old Coy Mathis, whose family fought back after the school said she was not allowed to use the girls’ bathroom. For their courage—and that of their families—the two trans girls (pictured above) were honored by GLAAD at the organization's 24th Media Awards gala in New York City last March.
Too often the characters on our favorite TV shows are able to hit the reset button on their lives. Stuck in a bind of complex plot lines, they head to the safe or call the guy who knows a guy to request "vacuum cleaner repair," and bam! They are set up with an entirely new life.
Brody was able to flee from both the country and his terrorist status on "Homeland. On "Breaking Bad," Walt buried his identity as Albuquerque's most wanted man in the snowy hills of New Hampshire. Queen of "Scandal" Olivia Pope was able to invent Quinn in place of the poor girl framed for the Cytron explosion.
But is it really that easy? Follow our four step guide, and you'll be facilitating an election-rigging conspiracy and / or meth-cooking empire in no more than a month's time!
WASHINGTON -- FedEx and other corporations with gay-friendly policies have partnered with an anti-gay evangelical organization as part of a lobbying effort around energy policy, according to tax documents.
FedEx President and CEO Fred Smith is a leader of the Securing America's Future Energy (SAFE) Foundation, which works to advance energy policy that favors electric vehicles and increased domestic energy production. Since 2010, the group, which National Journal has called a "major player," has been working with the conservative evangelical organization American Values, founded by former Family Research Council head Gary Bauer, a leading anti-marriage equality activist.
Tax documents show that in 2011, the most recent for which documents are available, American Values was SAFE's only grant recipient, getting $60,000. SAFE paid Bauer's group $55,000 the prior year, when American Values was one of two grant recipients (the other was the Electrification Coalition).
Brian Camenker, President of right-wing organization MassResistance, sat down with Mission America’s Linda Harvey last weekend to discuss a recent article he published regarding athletes and gay rights activism in Russia.
The "exclusive" report claims that "homosexual activists in the U.S. are working with media groups, 'out LGBT athletes' and both the U.S. and Canadian Olympic hockey teams in a secret plan to smuggle rainbow flags, homosexual propaganda, etc. into Russia."
And Camenker is not having it.
-- Texas high school coach Tim Buchanan benched his starters after only 21 plays, kept to a conservative ground game and even allowed the clock to run uninterrupted after halftime to hasten the final whistle. Still, his Bearcats won 91-0.
Now the coach is facing formal accusations of bullying.

WASHINGTON — With rebel forces in Syria in retreat and the Obama administration’s policy toward the war-ravaged country in disarray, Secretary of State John Kerry arrived at the White House Situation Room one day in June with a document bearing a warning. President Bashar al-Assad of Syria had used chemical weapons against his people, the document said, and if the United States did not “impose consequences,” Mr. Assad would see it as a “green light for continued CW use.”
Katniss's little sister is taking the spotlight on the November cover of a special issue of Seventeen magazine.
"Hunger Games" and "Catching Fire" star Willow Shields looks gorgeous in powder blue and bright pink, though our favorite detail might be her red and black nails, which feel very Girl on Fire-inspired. Can you believe she's only 13-years-old?

Chudzinksi said the bottom line is that Campbell, who has made 71 career starts in the NFL, gives the Browns the best chance against the unbeaten Chiefs.
