*U.S. JUDGE RULES CORE PROVISIONS OF OBAMACARE UNCONSTITUTIONAL

(via @TheTerminal)
Federal judge appointed by George W. Bush sides with Texas in a Republican-led lawsuit to overturn core provisions of the ACA—including the preexisting condition protections—as unconstitutional.

The Trump administration backed the lawsuit in court.

bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
The judge just ruled the individual mandate unconstitutional and decided that it’s inseverable from the rest of the law, so he struck down ALL of Obamacare.

Oval Office meeting

PELOSI: “You should not have a Trump shutdown.”

TRUMP interrupts: “A what? Did you say — Trump? Oh.” (He smiles)

PELOSI: “…you have the votes. You should pass it.”

TRUMP interrupts: “No we don’t have the votes, Nancy, because in the Senate we need 60.”
PELOSI: The fact is you do not have the votes in the House.

TRUMP: Nancy, I do.

PELOSI: Well, let’s take the vote and we’ll find out.

TRUMP: Nancy. Nancy. We need border security.

PELOSI: Of course we do.

TRUMP: People are pouring into our country, including terrorists.
Pelosi reminds Trump lots of House Republicans just lost their seats. Trump interjects: “We’ve gained in the Senate. Nancy. We’ve gained in the Senate.” Schumer jumps in: “When the president brags that he won North Dakota and Indiana he’s in real trouble.” Trump replies: “I did!”

“To their everlasting shame, the leaders — McConnell, Ryan — refused” to support making the intelligence on Russian interference public in 2016, @Comey says. “I think they're going to have a hard time explaining that to history.”

cnn.com/2018/12/09/pol…
It’s been debated extensively but it bears repeating: the White House in 2016 didn’t need McConnell or Ryan’s permission to disclose the intel that Russia was trying to manipulate the election. It was their decision, and there are Dems (like @RepAdamSchiff) who argue they erred.
Comey himself is an awkward messenger for this point. His FBI in 2016 made the decision to disclose the investigation into Clinton/emails while concealing the probe into Trump/Russia. If he deemed it important for the public to know he could’ve spoken.

Expectancy = Success Rate x Reward Risk Ratio

Lets Talk About Expectancy Of Short Term Directional Trading System.

Read On (1/n)
Success Rate = No Of Profitable Tades/ No Of Loss Making Trades

Reward Risk Ratio = Average Profit Per Trade / Average Loss Per Trade

Expectancy = 2 x 0.5 =1

For Making Profit, Expectancy Should Be Positive Number (2/n)
To Calculate Expectancy, You Need Defined System With Rules To Get Success Rate and Reward Risk. If You Have No System To Take Decisions, You Are Hanging In Thin Air and Will Never No Whether You Will Keep Making Or Loosing Money In Future (3/n)

We need to pay attention to--and work to end--the use of solitary confinement. It is there, in the long-term lockdowns & sensory deprivation conditions that daily house upwards of 100,000 people in US, where the cruel endgame of American punishment is made clear. 1/
Solitary has always been a part of American prisons. It was central to the Quaker notion of "penitentiaries," only instead of penitence isolation led people to mental & physical decay. As well as rebellion & romance. See @activisthistory upenn.edu/pennpress/book… 2/
Isolation has long been the weapon of abuse prison systems use to punish dissidents, from people engaged in political protest to those who violate prison rules of segregation and compulsory (but institutionally prohibited) heterosexuality. E.g. press.uchicago.edu/ucp/books/book…

#Statement | The negative and surprising attitude of #Canada is an entirely false claim and utterly incorrect.
#Statement | We have been briefed by what the #Canadian foreign minister and the Canadian embassy to the #Kingdom released on what they named "civil society rights activists", and we affirm that this negative and surprising attitude is an incorrect claim.
#Statement | The Canadian position is an overt and blatant interference in the internal affairs of the Kingdom of #SaudiArabia and is in contravention of the most basic international norms and all the charters governing relations between States.

And who said: "unconditional direct income support to farmers is manifestly absurd in today’s world when it maintains uncompetitive farming practices that have negative implications for the climate, the environment or people’s health"?

#New PA cong. map increases D chance of winning the House majority by 4%. They only need a 6.8% generic ballot margin now (down from 7.7) to be favored.

Diff. will be closer to 10% in Nov when uncertainty from polls is ⬇️. Redraw is a very big deal.

One major reason the new PA map is such a big gain for Democrats is that it solidifies, not just tips, PA districts in Philly burbs. Also creates one additional vulnerable R district. (Easily seen in this map made by @JMilesColeman)
My forecasting model will have new PA map in the near future. This is not just a simple switch; it’s a coding redesign, restructuring of input, & drawing new geographic files. Takes a while (for me, a student).

In the meantime, just add 3-4% to the model: bit.ly/2018_house
