The Trump admin cut the advertising budget for the ACA by 90%.

FOIA obtained emails show this was knowingly designed to harm enrollment, and they repeatedly lied about that fact.

Dem House oversight puts an end to the sabotage. Remember what they did when they had the power.
On a call w/ reporters, in response to whether HHS had studied the efficacy of advertising, an official said, “We haven’t done a specific study related to the public awareness of the program.”

It was a lie. They had, & knew it would harm enrollment.

huffingtonpost.com/entry/trump-ve…
The day open enrollment began, the Trump administrator of ACA benefits wrote a tweet designed to scare Americans away from enrolling.

Now that Dems have won House oversight, she’s promoting enrollment. Oversight stops the sabotage.

Marathon Petroleum, largest US oil refiner, is running a secret campaign to push the Trump’s proposal to lower vehicle emissions standards.

We have so much oil, you see, we don’t need to conserve!

Climate scientists give us 10 years to cut carbon or suffer untold misery. 🤷‍♂️
Man made climate change is warming the arctic at a pace that is “unlike any other period on record.” It’s warming TWICE AS FAST the rest of the planet’s average temp, according to NOAA.

The hour is very late.
Our doom approaches,
and we’re regressing.

cnn.com/2018/12/11/wor…
A doomsday cult alliance of the Koch Bros and the oil industry worked behind the scenes to increase their wealth at the cost of the next generation’s lives.

They know climate change is real, they just won’t survive to suffer it’s greatest misery.

Progressive policies make sense for Chinese Americans and it's why the majority of our community supports commonsense proposals on issues like immigration, health care, the environment, and racial justice. 1/5
On #immigration, Chinese Americans have a history of benefiting from reforms that allowed our communities to grow and be part of the American story. Through immigration reform, we have been able to reunite families and contribute to the U.S. 2/5 chineseprogressive.com/immigration-is…
On #healthcare, Chinese Americans support programs that expand access and provide quality health outcomes. The ACA reduced the number of uninsured Chinese Americans by half and that's one reason why it's so popular in our community. 3/5 chineseprogressive.com/health-issue/

The #IL13Debate between @BetsyforIL and @RodneyDavis is starting! Livestream at facebook.com/statejournalre… and some other places I'm too lazy to look up.
My prediction: #PreexistingConditionRodney will boast about his nonbinding preexisting condition resolution that never made it out of committee. And that his wife had cancer. #IL13Debate #ACA #healthcare
Davis says he fixed the "broken tax code" without mentioning the increase in deficit spending and that the tax cuts went primarily to the rich.

This will send women back to the 1950's where illegal abortions killed our young women

🤬 Abortion could instantly become illegal in 17 states if Trump's Supreme Court overturns Roe v. Wade 🤬
dailykos.com/story/2018/6/2…
I lived thru the 50's, 60's before Roe v Wade was passed. I knew women who went thru illegal abortions, and read stories about 'coat hanger deaths'. Take it from me this was a very dark time for women's independence. Women should have a say in their reproductive life - NOT gov't
This is an attempt to send women back to 'being barefoot & pregnant'. It is thoroughly repugnant to me. We fought hard for women/s rights in the 1960's, and to see it reverting back to those dark days nauseates me. It is the reason I gave up on organized religion altogether.

Some have expressed outrage this week on how Democrats handled the sexual harassment charges against two of its leaders:
“Dems didn’t call for ousting quick enough!”
“Called for ousting too quickly!”
“It was a GOP hit job!”
“Oust the women, that ousted the man!” (Really?) /1
Some of you have gone as far as saying:
‘We’re going to join a 3rd party!” or “We need a 3rd Party to unite the Nation.” /2
So here is a thread about our Country’s history with 3rd Parties and why forming a 3rd Party to unite us wont help as much as demanding policy that dismantles inequality, institutionalized racism and misogyny /3
