“I feel like I don’t have anything to hide,” Stefani said, implying that her upcoming album is laced with clues. “What I will tell you is that I was married for a long time and now I’m not. It was like a shock.”

2. Donald Trump’s rushed approach to repealing and replacing Obamacare might have made sense if he had a well-written bill, a focused administration to push it, a unified congressional coalition to fight for it and a robust popular mandate to fall back upon in case of trouble. He had none of these things.
The result was a comprehensive legislative debacle. As Mr Trump moves to tax reform, his White House remains divided, the Republican party remains at odds with itself and his approval ratings are just above 40 per cent. He needs a plan, and a very good one.
The stakes are high and the time short. If Mr Trump cannot deliver meaningful tax reform by early next year, his party will enter the 2018 congressional elections having achieved nothing on its signature issue. Under those conditions, Mr Trump could enter the third year of his presidency having lost much of his majority in the House of Representatives, diminishing further the chances of significant legislative achievement in his first term.
…
If Mr Trump can get such a package by his own party, there is the problem that, according to Senate rules, fiscal policy cannot be passed into law with fewer than 60 votes. There are 52 Republicans in the Senate, so the cuts would have to be snuck through in the budget reconciliation process. In this case, though, Senate rules require that, if they add to the deficit, they must “sunset” after a decade — as many of George W Bush’s cuts have done.
