.@BernieSanders tells me he’ll introduce his Medicare For All Act for the new Congress “fairly soon.”
Last Congress, the @BernieSanders Medicare for all bill was cosponsored by Warren, Harris, Gillibrand, Booker.

It’ll be a defining issue in the 2020 Democratic primaries.

.@brianschatz just reintroduced his bill to create a “public option” Medicaid buy-in across all states.

It’s cosponsored by Warren, Harris, Booker, Gillibrand, Klobuchar, among others.

schatz.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/…
2020 Democrats Warren, Harris, Gillibrand and Booker support “Medicare for all” legislation as well as the more modest “public option.”

They aren’t single payer or bust.

!! @SenAlexander (R-Tennessee) calls President Trump's national emergency declaration "unnecessary, unwise and inconsistent with the U.S. Constitution."
.@SenMikeLee says Trump's emergency declaration is legal.

"Whether or not it should be legal is a different matter. Congress has been ceding far too much power to the executive branch for decades. We should use this moment as an opportunity to start taking that power back."
.@SenThomTillis says Trump's emergency declaration would "create a new precedent that a left-wing President would undoubtedly utilize to implement their radical policy agenda while bypassing the authority of Congress."

NEW: Senate Democrats eyeing 2020 split on the government funding bill.

Klobuchar, Brown, Sanders vote YES.

Harris, Warren, Gillibrand, Booker vote NO.

The dividing line? Giving Trump extra money for immigration enforcement.

bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
Harris votes NO due to concerns over DHS funding and immigrant detention. Booker wants "appropriate guardrails" before giving ICE/CBP any more money. Gillibrand seeks "accountability" for ICE.

An important debate inside the Democratic Party 👇

bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
Just 16 senators voted against the spending bill to keep the government open.

25% of them are Democrats running for president.

Here is what's going on.

NEWS: McConnell says he just talked to Trump and that "he's prepared to sign the bill" to keep the government funded.

"He will also be issuing a national emergency declaration at the same time," McConnell says.
This is big, from @SenateMajLdr: "I've indicated to (Trump) that I'm going to support the national emergency declaration."
McConnell sets up a 3:30pm Senate vote on the government funding bill.

Wow. If you're still stanning for this guy, you are working for the other side. Racist, sexist, homophobic and just plain AWFUL.

Bernie: 'My Opponents' Want Black, White, Gay, Latino or Women Candidates 'Regardless of What They Stand For' mediaite.com/online/bernie-…
Why is Bernie slamming Democrats AGAIN and ignoring the wave of women and POC that gave us back the House?
#Gillibrand and #Warren both have more progressive voting records than Sanders. #Harris created the cash bail work he takes credit for. AND they are all running.

Awful.
Remember when Bernie said it this?

Bernie Sanders drew a swift backlash after saying white voters who are "uncomfortable" voting for a black candidate are "not necessarily racist." huffingtonpost.com/entry/bernie-s…?

Please take the time to read: The Five-Year-Old Who Was Detained at the Border and Persuaded to Sign Away Her Rights, by Sarah Stillman - a few thoughts from me to follow... newyorker.com/news/news-desk… via @NewYorker
The first thing to note is that the separation from a child from her grandmother upon arrival to the U.S. is that it appears to have taken place after the president supposedly ordered the forceful separations stopped...
A second thing to note is that the implementation of these separation policies requires the joint cooperation of both DHS & HHS - Secretaries Nielsen and Azar at the top, and the many deputies who work under their chain of command...

#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
