Sign-ups show health law's staying power in Trump era
The HealthCare.gov website is photographed in Washington on Dec. 15, 2017. A burst of sign-ups is punctuating the end of a tumultuous year for former President Barack Obama’s health care law. Strong consumer interest around Friday’s enrollment deadline for 2018 was seen as validation for the program’s subsidized individual health insurance. But the Affordable Care Act’s troubles aren’t over. Even if full repeal now seems off the table, actions by the Republican-led Congress and the Trump administration could undermine the ACA’s insurance markets. (AP Photo/Jon Elswick

The one that got away: Not the fish, but the $2.8M prize
In this Aug. 13, 2016 photo provided by Larry Jock, Phil Heasley, second from left, and Jim Motsko, founder of the White Marlin Open fishing tournament, second from right, pose with a promotional check at a tournament award ceremony in Ocean City, Md. Heasley caught what was deemed the tournament's only qualifying white marlin, but he was denied over $2.8 million in prize money because he and his crew failed to pass lie-detector tests about whether they followed tournament rules. A federal judge ruled against Heasley in June after a nine-day trial, and Heasley is appealing the ruling. (Larry Jock/Coastal Fisherman via AP)

Bangladeshis worry they'll pay price for NYC subway bomb
Bangladeshi immigrant Sultan Ahmed gestures as he speaks during an interview with The Associated Press, Tuesday, Dec. 12, 2017, in the Kensington neighborhood of the Brooklyn borough of New York. Akayed Ullah, a Bangladeshi immigrant, was arrested in a botched suicide bombing in an underground passageway between Times Square — the city's busiest subway station — and the bustling Port Authority Bus Terminal. The city's Bangladeshi community is concerned about what that could mean for their immigration future in a political climate where the attack is already being used by President Donald Trump and others as yet more reasons immigration needs to be restricted.

For GOP, tax bill's most visible win may be averting failure
In this Dec. 14, 2017, photo, House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis., speaks on Capitol Hill, in Washington, Thursday, Dec. 14, 2017. Republicans, led by Ryan and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, see the tax bill as the answer to their political prayers.

AP FACT CHECK: Trump denies knowing women he met
In this Dec. 12, 2017, photo, President Donald Trump speaks in the Roosevelt Room of the White House in Washington. Trump has denied he knows or ever met women who have accused him of unwanted sexual advances. That denial is no more plausible than what people heard from defeated Alabama Senate candidate Roy Moore. Trump’s tweet on the subject is at odds with the record _ photos included _ and was just one in a series of questionable statements he made over the past week on a variety of subjects.

In sex assault laws, definition of consent varies widely
FILE - In this Nov. 23, 2011 file photo, film producer Harvey Weinstein poses for a photo in New York. For two months now, as accusations of sexual misconduct have piled up against Weinstein, the disgraced mogul has responded over and over again with the same words: "Any allegations of nonconsensual sex are unequivocally denied by Mr. Weinstein." Consent is quite likely to be a central issue in a potential legal case against Weinstein and others accused of sexual assault in the current so-called “reckoning.” (AP Photo/John Carucci, File)
