SO 1998

Republicans are banking on Clinton fatigue to diminish Hillary's appeal, but it might not matter in 2016. Attacks on the former first lady won't work this time, writes Jamelle Bouie, because she'll be reintroducing herself to voters who barely remember when she and Bill were in the White House.

WHERE'S THE LOVE?

While much of America applauded Michael Sam for coming out as gay yesterday, not everyone in the football community was quite as enthusiastic. Overnight, Sam fell 70 spots on the CBS draft prospect board, suggesting his announcement may have done professional damage. Former NFL player and coach Herm Edwards described Sam as a player with "off the field issues" who will be "bringing baggage into your locker room." NFL Union President Domonique Foxworth was much more positive, saying, "I know the union will accept him open arms, as will our players."

BFF

As Kiev burns, associates of the Ukrainian president have paid large sums of money to two prominent American lobbying firms. Viktor Yanukovych and his supporters have friends on the Hill who are looking out for their interests, writes Oleg Skynkarenko.

CAR ENVY

Uber, a company that's made ordering a car service so convenient that it's upending the taxi business in cities around the world, has a lot of enemies. Jim Epstein investigates how cab cartels are trying to kill innovation and save their crumbling industry.

HYPOCRITICAL

Republican leaders in Mississippi and Georgia are debating whether to bail out state hospitals that would have received funding under Obamacare. Twenty-five states have either refused to expand their Medicaid programs or are still debating whether to do so. That's left a large number of poor residents without insurance and unable to pay for treatments, which leaves hospitals in the lurch. The federal government has pledged to pay the full cost of Medicaid expansion for three years, but a number of Southern states have rejected the plan.
