The deadline to sign up for insurance under the Affordable Care Act has been extended until Saturday here in California. That’s because so many people are trying to enroll. We find out what some of their concerns are as a Republican Congress and president vow to repeal Obamacare. But what are the GOP’s plans beyond that, and would Democrats support them?

Chairman of the Standing Rock Sioux tribe, David Archambault, talks about what’s next for the Dakota Access Pipeline. The Army Corps of Engineers temporarily halted the project. Could the incoming Trump administration easily reverse that decision?

FCC head Tom Wheeler says he’ll step down. He has protected net neutrality. Could that change in a new administration?

The musicians behind the Negro Problem have a new show that channels writer James Baldwin.
