Steve Mnuchin was unable to explain to Congress why Trump plans to lift sanctions on Oleg Deripaska, who attacked US elections in 2016.

Pelosi said it was one of the worst briefings they’ve received from the admin.

Steve says we should trust the Pres.

Oversight’s a bitch, huh?
Speaker Nancy Pelosi slammed a classified briefing given Thursday by Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin as "stiff competition" for "one of the worst classified briefings we have received from the Trump administration."

2 things you should call your reps on today and next week:

1)Tell them you oppose lifting sanctions on Deripaska’s companies.

2)Demand that your GOP reps immediately vote to re-open government. Thank Dem reps for standing strong against the wall.
Don’t be afraid of calling your reps, they work for you!

Here’s how to do it right 👇

If Donald cared about the safety of women and children immigrants at the boarder, he would admit them as asylum seekers.

If he cared about security, he’d open the Gov, refund airport security and allow the coast guard to get paid.

Trump makes America worse.

FACT: A wall will not stop the inflow of drugs, which are mostly transported by cars.
FACT: No terrorists have been caught crossing the southern border.
FACT: Border crossing is at a 40 year low, most undocumented immigrants come by plane.
FACT: Disingenuous compassion is gross.
FACT: Immigrants are less likely to commit crimes than natural born Americans.
FACT: Those currently held at the border are asylum seekers fleeing violence that America helped cause through our drug consumption and foreign policy.

America has a moral duty to help these people.

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.

#Deripaska: Thread. Deripaska "cedes control" of his companies-->Trump lifts sanctions off these companies. + Overlooked details. #manafort reuters.com/article/us-usa…

#REDALERT: Treasury Dept. to LIFT SANCTIONS on Oleg Deripaska's companies.

Treasury's OFAC has notified Congress it intends to terminate sanctions on Deripaska's companies — the oligarch close to Putin w/ ties to Manafort and the Mueller Investigation.

#REDFLAG: As predicted earlier in this thread...

Deripaska's companies only qualified for sanctions relief assessment BECAUSE Deripaska "stepped down."

But OBVIOUSLY Deripaska installed board members that reported directly to him.

So why lift sanctions?
#FLAG: The answer to that question is Treasury is being WILLFULLY IGNORANT.

They've directed Deripaska's companies to "undertake significant
restructuring and corporate governance," determine why the moles were installed, and reduce his influence.

LOL.

Rep. Adam Schiff:

This is the most important MT elex of our lifetimes. Tomorrow we have the chance to reverse course, restore decency, and put a check on this destructive president.

We need your help. To knock on doors. To make calls. To get out the vote. TO VOTE.
🇺🇸VOTEBLUE2🇺🇸

“These are the stakes:
The GOP is determined to repeal the Affordable Care Act, and gut protections for pre-existing conditions.

They want to cut Medicare and Social Security for seniors to pay for their tax cuts for millionaires and big business.”
🇺🇸VOTEBLUE3🇺🇸

“Healthcare isn't a game; it's life and death.

While people are working, many do not make enough to get by.

Those lucky enough to get a good education may still be saddled with student debt.

While your parents may have retired with dignity,”
