BREAKING: The HHS inspector general says “thousands” more migrant children were likely separated by the Trump administration than previously known.
Story: politico.com/story/2019/01/…

INSPECTOR GENERAL: "More children over a longer period of time" were separated at the border than commonly known.

"How many more children were separated is unknown, by us and HHS.”
Updating story with more details, HHS reaction.

One key question: Did senior officials know even as these additional separations were taking place?

“We did not, in this report, address ‘who knew what, when,” inspector general said. But future reports may shed light on that.

In recent days, HHS has been boosting transparency and cheerleading for ACA enrollment — trying to leave a good impression before Dems launch investigations in January.
One reason why HHS is doing clean-up work: Because there are internal paper trails, like the emails @CitizenCohn @JeffYoung obtained, that will build case Trump administration undermined the ACA and more.

An example of shifting message

- How @SeemaCMS tweeted about the ACA on day 1 of ACA sign-ups (five days before the election)

vs.

Professor comes forward as Kavanaugh accuser. apple.news/AMZfZ9-7hShm_w… Says she told a therapist, her husband about the accusation back in 2012.
Professor teaches in Palo Alto, which explains why Rep. Anna Eshoo (her local congresswoman) was involved in letter that found its way to Sen. Dianne Feinstein.
Reproductive rights groups — already worried about Kavanaugh’s potential rulings on abortion access — have seized on sexual assault allegation. Here’s @NIRHAction from Friday.

The U.S. Senate passed a major defense, labor, #health & education funding bill today on a bipartisan 85-7 vote. Pluses in health #research, health #workforce, other initiatives now to reconcile w/House which hasn't moved its bill yet.. /1 @CardinalWaypt senate.gov/legislative/LI…
Can Congress get #health funding done before the new FY19 begins Oct. 1? Maybe. Holdover temporary funding then finish the work in a post-election lame duck session? Depends. /2 @CardinalWaypt
This is more certain: 2019 work for 2020 #health spending will be much more difficult. The new Congress elected this November will get this ticket after the 2yr Bipartisan Budget Act of 2018 $$$ expires,, w/big deficits in view. /3 @CardinalWaypt cbo.gov/publication/53…

Time to talk about women's reproductive health and dispel a few myths. I'm not one for long threads, so bear with me here. I have a lot of thoughts on this.

The main thing I think gets lost in partisan rhetoric is that we ALL want there to be fewer abortions. But how?
#RoeVWade
2) Let's start with a universal truth.

🔥Making abortions illegal does not make them less common.🔥

Ever.

#LegalSafeRare

dailykos.com/stories/2018/3… Abortion rates are not lower in places where it is illegal.
3)
 Just in case you thought this was an American phenomena.

It's not.

Other countries have learned the hard way that punitive measures don't work.
#RoevWade

economist.com/international/… Abortion is as common in countries where it is illegal as it is where it is legal.

@davidaxelrod @PressSec @realDonaldTrump I don't applaud it per se, however, the hypocritical WHINING coming from Trump admin and Republicans about it is stunning. Sanders was treated in the same fashion Trump & GOP say anyone different from themselves be treated. Bakeries deny cakes to LGBT people, etc.
@davidaxelrod @PressSec @realDonaldTrump There is a big DIFFERENCE in the case of Sanders being expelled from that restaurant though. She was NOT expelled because of her sexual orientation, race, or religion. She was expelled because she is notoriously dishonest and racist. BIG difference.
@davidaxelrod @PressSec @realDonaldTrump GOP/Trump applaud bakeries who refuse cakes to LGBT people, they applaud pharmacies that refuse to fill prescriptions due to "moral" objections. Yet, when a restaurant owner refuses service to SHS due to moral objections, it's suddenly TERRIBLE.
