BBC: Boko Haram admits abducting Nigeria girls from Chibok
Nigerian Islamist militant group Boko Haram says it carried out the abduction of hundreds of schoolgirls in April.
About 230 girls are still believed to be missing, prompting widespread criticism of the Nigerian government.
“I abducted your girls,” Boko Haram leader Abubakar Shekau said in a video obtained by the AFP news agency.
Meanwhile, a woman who helped organise protests over the abduction has been detained, her fellow community leaders say.

Jonathan Cohn: Gallup: Number of Uninsured Lowest We’ve Ever Recorded
Obamacare is reducing the number of Americans without health insurance. And while nobody can say for sure exactly how many people are getting coverage, Gallup just provided a pretty big clue.
According to the organization, the proportion of adults without coverage last month fell to 13.4 percent. That’s lower than it was last yaer. That’s lower than it was when the Affordable Care Act became law—and when President Obama took office.
In fact, that’s lower than it’s ever been since the beginning of 2008, before the economic crisis, which is when Gallup started taking regular monthly polls on this question.

Steve Benen: Health care frauds vs. health care facts
It probably didn’t get as much attention as it deserved, but something unusual happened last week: House Republicans, including House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-Va.) got caught telling a rather brazen lie.
GOP officials issued a “report” arguing that “only 67 percent” of consumers who enrolled in the Affordable Care Act’s exchanges paid their first month’s premiums. In this case, Republicans were lying – they deliberately published a document that included fraudulent claims, intended to deceive the public, and once caught, the officials made no real effort to deny what they’d done.
Paul Krugman took Republicans to task in his new column, condemning them for “spreading disinformation about health reform because it works, and because they can – there is no sign that they pay any political price when their accusations are proved false.”
But the GOP’s failed attempt at a con arguably looks even worse this morning, with new evidence of the Affordable Care Act’s success.

Eclectablog: Obamacare success stories keep coming, with a rosy forecast for 2015
Karen is just one of 272,500 Michiganders who signed up for coverage through Healthcare.gov, where a strong finish to 2014 enrollment bodes well for next year.
So much good news, it’s hard to know where to begin.
On Thursday, Obama administration officials predicted health insurance premiums would be stable in 2015, thanks to a large and varied pool of insured Americans. This is according to the Kaiser Family Foundation, which reported that about 28 percent of the 8 million Americans who enrolled in private health insurance through Healthcare.gov were in the 18-34-year-old age range needed to help keep the risk pool balanced and keep premiums down — the demographic naysayers predicted would not sign up. Yet another “horror story” debunked.
In Michigan, 272,539 people signed up for coverage through Healthcare.gov, in addition to thousands more who have enrolled in the Healthy Michigan Plan, the state’s Medicaid expansion program that launched April 1.

Paul Krugman: Inventing A Failure
Last week, House Republicans released a deliberately misleading report on the status of health reform, crudely rigging the numbers to sustain the illusion of failure in the face of unexpected success. Are you shocked?
You aren’t, but you should be. Mainstream politicians didn’t always try to advance their agenda through lies, damned lies and — in this case — bogus statistics. And the fact that this has become standard operating procedure for a major party bodes ill for America’s future.
About that report: The really big policy news of 2014, at least so far, is the spectacular recovery of the Affordable Care Act from its stumbling start, thanks to an extraordinary late surge that took enrollment beyond early projections….
This is a problem for Republicans, who have bet the ranch on the proposition that health reform is an unfixable failure … How can they respond to good news?
Well, they could graciously admit that they were wrong, and offer constructive suggestions about how to make the law work even better. Oh, sorry — I forgot that I wasn’t writing jokes for the White House Correspondents’ Dinner.

Michael Hiltzik: Medicaid expansion is the final battle in war over Obamacare
The final battles of any war often are the bloodiest. They’re waged by the last holdouts, dead-enders desperate to prove to themselves and their dwindling followers that their efforts were not in vain.
The final battle of the war over the Affordable Care Act is being waged today over expanding Medicaid. As the act was originally conceived, Medicaid would provide healthcare for more than 10 million of the poorest uninsured Americans, most of them childless adults with earnings up to 138% of the federal poverty level. (This year, that income ceiling is about $16,000.)
Then the Supreme Court ruled in 2012 that Congress couldn’t impose the expansion on state governments, but had to make it voluntary. Republican legislators and governors in 28 states turned the expansion down. A handful later reversed themselves. These include four that, with federal permission, are temporarily trying out novel Medicaid formats.
The refusal of more than half the states to cover so many of their neediest citizens — the number who have fallen into the “coverage gap” is estimated at 5 million — amazes and frustrates health experts. That’s especially so because the federal government covers 100% of the cost of expansion through 2016. After that, the federal share will slowly decline to 90% in 2020 and beyond.

BBC: Ukraine crisis: Rebels ‘retreating’ in Sloviansk
Pro-Russian militants just outside Sloviansk have retreated amid attacks by Ukrainian troops, reports say.
Government forces took control of a TV tower in the suburbs and rebels were pulled back deeper into the city, the Russian Interfax news agency said.
Earlier reports told of heavy gunfire, apparently closer to the centre than in recent days.
But a BBC team which has recently reached the centre of Sloviansk says the city is currently quiet.
Four Ukrainian soldiers were killed and 30 injured in an incident in Sloviansk, the interior ministry said.
Fears of an impending offensive by Ukrainian forces on the pro-Russian stronghold had been growing overnight, sources inside the city said earlier.

Salon: Diagnosing Paul Ryan’s psychopathy: Arrogant, manipulative, deceitful, remorseless
Paul Krugman revealed Ryan’s big con years ago. It’s gotten worse. Why does anyone take him seriously on policy?
If the GOP as a whole has pretty much given up on the whole “rebranding” thing, their 2012 vice presidential nominee, Congressman Paul Ryan, most definitely has not. In fact, rebranding is pretty much his thing, regardless of how credible — or incredible, actually — his efforts may be.
For years, Ryan touted himself as an avid Ayn Rand disciple, until he didn’t in early 2012, even calling it “an urban legend” that he had anything serious to do with Rand at all. He then tried to present the latest iteration of his draconian soak-the-poor/shower the rich budget proposal as grounded in Catholic social teaching, rather than Rand’s fiercely anti-Christian philosophy, a claim that the conservative U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops soundly rejected, writing that his proposed budget failed to meet certain “moral criteria” by disproportionately cutting programs that “serve poor and vulnerable people.”
Now, seeking to put all memory of the “47 percent” campaign behind him, Ryan’s trying to take that reinvention to a whole new level.

Great R&S Chips. But would it be too much to ask that you put in some more pictures of FLOTUS, particularly those that aren’t ruined by having the skinny, big-eared fellow in them with her? Also, a few more of Jill Biden wouldn’t be remiss either.

the hoopla over prayer…..is just that hoopla without substance….
HYPOCRISY…runs rampant!
Just saw that sad news—-enabling further reach of religion into government, slowly but surely erasing separation of church and state which has served us so well, allowing this country to rise above all others which are damaged and constrained by religious rule. I see some fear it is a bad indicator of Hobby Lobby decision.
What these justices do not realize is that this decision opens the door for all kinds of prayers, not just “Christian” prayers. People will be demanding equal time for Jewish prayers, Buddhist prayers, Muslim prayers, any kind of prayer. It shouldn’t take too long for someone to challenge this, even though it is a SCOTUS decision. This is a very shortsighted decision for those “Christian” jurists. They really do not look beyond their noses.
I had the discussion in my college class years ago about prayer in public schools. The kids in this church college were adamantly in favor of it. I asked them if they were all from Texas, Oklahoma or Arkansas. They said yes. So, I said you could expect a “Protestant” Christian prayer…..of course they answered. Well, I told them I went to school in Chicago and San Francisco. The prayer certainly would not have been a Protestant prayer. Would they like that? Well, no……so, if the shoe is on the other foot, it wouldn’t be okay? They had never thought of that……these justices are about as sophisticated and informed as my 1970s college freshmen.
From the FL Gov’s sister. The all wise, all knowing p.o.s.!
I suppose the only surprise re: this statement is that it was said OUT LOUD….but in this age of the TeaParty/GOP…these kinds of statements are a Badge of Honor!

Sen. Kay Hagan (D-NC) is taking the extra step against House Speaker Thom Tillis (R-NC), the frontrunner and expected GOP nominee in the North Carolina Senate race, and sending mailers to Republican voters quoting Tillis calling Obamacare a “great idea.”
The mailers, reported by The Washington Post, were sent out to Republican voters over the last week ahead of Tuesday’s North Carolina Republican primary. The attack strategy is a clear attempt to turn voters off to Tillis by painting him as less than staunchly opposed to Obamacare (a grave sin in Republican primaries).
