BREAKING: #mnleg. Feds announced that they will pull $100 million from Minnesota for reinsurance program. Lourey announces this at Senate HHS hearing today.
Sen. Benson lays blame on ACA for MN losing control of its health care system. I would argue that this is really about the Trump administration being an unreliable partner for state innovation and the blame lies with Alex Azar and Seema Verma.
Also this makes it a terrible time to argue for doing away with dedicated funding stream in MN (provider tax) for health care access. Argument has been that feds will take care of MN. But if they're not a reliable partner, as they clearly are not, then that's a major problem
*Will take care of MinnesotaCare

Hello from Day 16 of El Chapo's trial.

More testimony coming today from Jorge Cifuentes (see photo), one of Chapo's Colombian cocaine suppliers. When we left off yesterday, Jorge was flying into the mountains to celebrate the 2nd anniversary of Chapo's 2001 prison escape.
The other big news from yesterday was prosecutors showing the jury clips from the interview that El Chapo taped for Sean Penn, Kate del Castillo, and Rolling Stone.

Here's a sidebar convo where prosecutor Andrea Goldbarg refers to it as "the infamous Rolling Stone video."
And here's another excerpt from a sidebar convo yesterday, where El Chapo's lawyer @balarezolaw suggests the defense strategy might be to claim that the interview was scripted as part of a movie that Chapo was making w/ Sean Penn and Kate del Castillo.

THREAD: This morning, Trump's CMS Administrator, Seema Verma, posted a press release claiming that Trump Admin actions have "caused rates to drop for the first time." This is...stretching things, to put it mildly. 1/

acasignups.net/18/10/11/sigh-…
2/ FIRST, the "1.5% drop" @SeemaCMS refers to only applies to on-exchange plans, only includes 39 states, and only applies to the benchmark plans. When you include all 50 states, all plans at all metal levels and off-exchange enrollees, it's +3.1%.

acasignups.net/rate-hikes/2019
3/ SECOND, it's true that even +3.1% is still a lot smaller than prior years...which is why you have to look at WHY premiums increased so much for 2018 LAST year. About 60% of that ~27% increase was due SPECIFICALLY to Trump Admin actions: CSR cut-off + other assorted factors:

#BREAKING
As relations sink to new lows, France declares asset freeze on #Iran's ministry of security and intelligence, according to AFP.

I wrote long ago that Tehran would be losing the support of Europe.

France is seizing financial assets of two Iranians, parallel to others belonging to #Iran’s MOIS intelligence services.
French elite police also swooped a Muslim center & several residences north of the country.

"France reiterates its determination to fight terrorism, especially on its own territory."

This is sending an extremely startling & alarming message to #Iran's rulers.

1/ DEAR DEMOCRATS: Based on 21 states so far, I’ve concluded that you’re *sort of* overplaying your hand re. 2019 #ACA premium hikes. Let me explain. acasignups.net/18/07/03/updat…
2/ The talking point being spread among Dems is that “#ACA premiums will spike by double digits due to #ACASabotage!” The image which comes to mind is of rates increasing by ~20-25% with sabotage vs. perhaps ~5-10% without it, costing unsubsidized enrollees up to $1,000 more.
3/ Now the first part *is* accurate: #ACASabotage *is* causing premiums to increase an extra ~12% or so. However, the *specifics* are shaping up to be a bit different than I expected:
