Readers, we need your help. We have now caught three GOPers -- @PeterRoskam @RepJeffDenham (via @CLFSuperPAC) @DaveBratVA7th -- claim we gave Four Pinocchios to their D opponents re preexisting conditions. Not true! Please alert us if you spot any more. We'd like to stop this.
This is an example of this behavior --> an R citing an unrelated fact check that came out before the CBO issued a critical report that said the House GOP repeal/replace bill undermined protections for preexisting conditions. washingtonpost.com/politics/2018/…
We found a fourth one -- @RodneyDavis in IL-13. Keep 'em coming, please.
Here's number five: @MikeKellyPA in PA-16. Except he said: "The New York Post gave that a Four Pinocchio that it was absolutely false." Doubly wrong!
Number six! @RepJohnFaso NY-19
Number seven! @RepErikPaulsen MN-3

Presumably the Minority Whip knows what marginal tax rates are? It's not 70 percent of all income, but 70 percent of any income earned ABOVE $10 million. You may disagree with the policy but a politician has an obligation to describe it correctly.
For the record, fewer than 0.05 percent of all U.S. households have income above $10 million. The @AOC proposal would not even be aimed the fabled top one percent.
Some folks wondered how much money this would raise. My colleague @JStein_WaPo did the math: $720 billion a decade. washingtonpost.com/business/2019/…

I went down a rabbit hole yesterday trying to figure out a comment made by @potus at his Cabinet meeting. I concluded it was highly unlikely to be true, a typical mix of fantasy and bravado. Follow along….
Trump claimed that the leader of a “very rich” oil-producing country near Afghanistan at risk of being overrun by the Taliban was charging the US “millions and millions of dollars” a year for overflights. But the leader is now charging nothing because Trump made the demand...
“Nobody ever asked me not to,” the leader supposedly replied. What country? The WH of course would not respond. The best bets were Kazakhstan or Turkmenistan. But neither faces a real challenge from the Taliban though the leader supposed said “we would be overrun” w/o US help…

I watched “The Resistance Banker” last night, the acclaimed Dutch film about the banker who financed the Dutch resistance during World War II. My parents emigrated from Holland to the United States after the war to escape a continent torn apart by an anti-Semitic ideology... 1/8
My mother’s father had a key position in the Dutch central bank but was fired when the Nazis seized control. He had married my grandmother, who was Jewish, despite his parents’ protests. She was forced to wear the Jewish star and most of her family perished in the Holocaust…2/8
My grandmother three times was rounded up for concentration camps but my grandfather’s quick thinking and ingenuity saved her. My mother, a teenager, was forced by Germans to watch resistance fighters being shot by a firing squad; a similar scene is in the movie…3/8

I met Shyla last year in a meeting. Her father had dreamt of making her a doctor. But his dreams drowned in the sewer he had died in. This is her story. (ruralindiaonline.org/articles/my-mo…)
Ten years later, Shyla is almost close to realising her father’s dream. She is doing her nursing course, and she needs help. As a society that sent her father down the sewers, I think it is our responsibility to see that she becomes a nurse.
When I met her again last month, Shyla was exuding confidence. “I will soon be a nurse and if you need anything, call me over” she told me and i cant wait.
Shyla’s course fee for third year comes close to Rs 1 lakh. I already have someone pledging Rs 10,000.

Now is the time for clarity from Her Majesty Government about us, EU citizens in the UK.
Clarity and honesty.
Dear @theresa_may, you constantly claim you love us and that our status is secure. 2 claims not borne out by facts,
You are renowned for your "go home vans", your "climate of hostility" against foreigners you believe are here illegally.
You claim you love us but as my local MP, your chief whip told me, "no way to stay in Single Market" because of migrants.
You proposed in your negotiations with the EU status after status. Sure, your proposals have improved but there is still much uncertainty as to who exactly will have the right to stay in the UK. Your definition of "legally" can mean many different things.
