.#Wisconsin story, prominent elsewhere. @ScottWalker made his position on #ACA very clear for years: he hated it & wanted it repealed, if not by Congress than by the courts. Now he’s fudging on pre-existing conditions after all this time. He’ll debate @Tony4WI on this Friday.
Follow up to this: it isn’t just @ScottWalker. GOP candidates around the country seem to be taking cues from Trump. Now, Trump is lying about supporting pre-existing conditions protections; he lies about everything. @feliciasonmez has chapter & verse. washingtonpost.com/politics/trump…
Just for fun, let’s pile on w/this @esballentine piece about pre-existing conditions protections, and how Republican candidates around the country struggle to explain being against them, before being for them. @sbauerAP apnews.com/6e1aa41dfaf243…

Let’s do a thread this morning about impeachment, since that subject has been in the news over the past week. I feel we need to talk about Mike Pence.
2. Modern precedents for impeachment proceedings had an key and under-recognized component: Vice Presidents widely believed to have no direct connection to what the incumbent President was about to be impeached for.
3. Gerald Ford had been a Republican Congressman from Michigan during Richard Nixon’s first term, supportive of Nixon but having no role in either administration policy or the 1972 re-election campaign. The “long national nightmare” of Watergate would end,...

I mean no disrespect to other Democratic candidates, and admit freely I know of @GovInslee only what I’ve read. I still think it’s a good thing he’s running for President. This @IsaacDovere piece explains why. 1/3 theatlantic.com/politics/archi…
2/3. Long experience observing Presidential campaigns has taught me: no name ID + no organization = no chance. But if anyone is going to base a campaign on facing the climate change emergency, Inslee seems like the guy. One caution: it’s tempting,...
3/3. ...when talking about climate change, to make a fetish of optimism. But meeting this threat will inevitably involve costs accepted now to avoid much higher costs later. That may not be inspirational, but it’s the truth. Inslee (& others) should keep this in mind.

OK, about this, by Romney. There are Republicans who believe deeply in rewarding their Party’s largest donors by cutting their taxes. They are all for packing the courts with judicial legislators able to impose conservative policy preferences by fiat. washingtonpost.com/opinions/mitt-…
2. They are willing to support Trump when he does things they never supported before, like starting trade wars with no plan to end them — Trump is just “cracking down,” “getting tough,” etc. But they don’t like his tweeting, and his language makes them uncomfortable.
3. This is the Republican alternative to Trump. This is @MittRomney. Let’s be fair here: Romney doesn’t list corruption among the things about Trump he supports. He doesn’t say he approves of Trump getting campaign help from the Russian government.

Feb. 2018, 18 @GOP AG's & 2 GOP Governors Filed a Lawsuit to Repeal the #ACA in the U.S. Northern District of TX

This lawsuit is currently being heard. This is what it means to YOUR healthcare if Kavanaugh is confirmed. #ProtectOurCare #WhatsAtStake (THREAD)1/15
These are the Republican state attorneys general and governors from 20 states that filed the lawsuit in February 2018 in the U.S. Northern District of Texas.

#ProtectOurCare #WhatsAtStake 2/15
In June of 2018, the Trump Administration said it would not defend the #ACA and actually AGREED in part with the plaintiffs, arguing that protections for people with #PreExistingConditions should be overturned.

Since our Cdn #FakeNews is crowing about Trudeau "taking the highroad" with @POTUS, I thought it would be fun to have a look at how much truth there is behind that statement, and how we got to this trade war.
FACT: Trudeau had declared war on Trump before he was ever elected. 1/
A "War Room"??
Seriously, does your ALLY and friend create a "war room" to deal with you? 2/
Does this look like the behavior of a "friend"?
It looks more like the sneaky conniving tactics of an enemy to me, and a very cowardly one at that. Did they seriously think that Trump had no idea they were going around him to make deals with his opponents instead of him? 🙄 3/

THREAD: Snapshots of our broken Healthcare system. Without even approaching universal healthcare or medicare for all, these snapshots from personal life experience bring into stark relief WHY the U.S. Healthcare system is in a trash heap.\1
In December, I was hospitalized for a minor intestinal infection. During my evening, a staff doctor visited and told me she was shocked they hospitalized me. She said typically patients are just sent home with medication, but THIS hospital admitted 'everyone for everything' \ 2
During my 36 hours, they did everything they could to push every conceivable EXPENSIVE test on me. I had migraines, diagnosed 25 years ago, occasionally, so they wanted to run new MRIs and CT scans \ 3

On the 8th Anniversary of #ACA it's crucial to demonstrate how our President has undermined healthcare for MILLIONS via #ACASabotage since his inauguration.

This THREAD is dedicated to everyone who used their voice to save healthcare & why we all must be a #HealthCareVoter 1/30
1/20/17: Trump's #ACA Executive Order directs federal agencies begin ❌ ACA “to maximum extent permitted by law.”

EO delays ACA provisions imposing tax, fee, or other costs & develops “free & open market” in health care among states.

Repeal legislation begins. #ACASabotage 2/30
1/26/17: Administration stops planned ads for the final week of open enrollment for marketplace health coverage. As a result, 400K+ are not enrolled.

Final 2017 HealthCare.gov plan selections come in below 2016. #ACASabotage 3/30
