Today, Congress introduced the EACH Woman Act to end bans on insurance coverage that have cut off abortion access for those on Medicaid and other government insurance plans and programs.

Your access to care shouldn’t depend on how much money you make or what insurance you have.
These bans have forced people, in particular poor women of color, to choose between the care they need and making rent or buying food.

Special Counsel Robert Mueller's report on the Russia investigation MUST be made public.

Elected officials work for the people. We have a right to know if President Trump and his associates coordinated with Russia to interfere in our elections.
If the Department of Justice doesn't make the Mueller report public, Congress should use its subpoena powers to ensure the truth sees the light of day.
Here is our full statement calling for the release of Special Counsel Robert Mueller's report on the Russian investigation:

In a 5-4 ruling, the Supreme Court reversed a decision in our case challenging the federal government’s sweeping interpretation of a 1996 mandatory detention law for immigrants.

That interpretation has resulted in gross violations of due process for thousands.
For two terms in a row now, SCOTUS has endorsed the most extreme interpretation of immigration detention statutes, allowing mass incarceration of people without any hearing, simply because they are fighting a deportation charge.
We will always fight the gross overuse of detention in the immigration system.

First the Trump administration stranded asylum seekers in Mexico while their cases go forward here.

Then it messed up the court schedule, so two people missed hearings.

Now @ICEgov is saying they should be deported.
sandiegouniontribune.com/news/immigrati…
TO BE CLEAR: @ICEgov knew an asylum seeker was stuck at the US port of entry, not being let in, after learning at the last minute that the government was holding a hearing in her case. ICE tried to take advantage of that to get her deported.

Seeking asylum is not a game.
This mess is one reason we sued to stop the illegal policy of stranding asylum seekers in Mexico. This logistical disaster was entirely predictable.

We cannot allow the Trump administration to sabotage people's asylum claims.

We will see the government in court on 3/22.

1/ @GOPSenate as part of the people I request you halt the nomination process of judge Brett Kavanaugh until a thorough review of his record may be conducted by your democrat colleagues as well as the American people.
2/ I submit data from two organizations that were able to conduct cursory examinations of judge Kavanaugh's records given available information. The ACLU and The NAACP Legal Defense Fund.

To be clear Abortion is not a rite of passage or a Means to an End as some in the entertainment community are portraying. #Abortion
Abortion is not birth control but people control. #DefundPlannedParenthood
All the more reason to #VoteRedToSaveAmerica .

In honor of #Medicaid's birthday, I'm going to do a quick thread on why I believe #MedicaidForAll makes a great deal more sense than #MedicareForAll. #Medicaid53
First, most #MedicareForAll proponents describe a health care program that looks a lot closer to Medicaid than it does to Medicare, in terms of benefits & cost-sharing.
This Vox piece from @singlepayertom and @_Middleman says #MedicareForAll should mean zero cost-sharing. Medicare doesn't work that way - Medicaid does. vox.com/the-big-idea/2…

Happy Anniversary, #Medicaid! Here are a few reasons #MedicaidWorks so well. bit.ly/2A8SFJG #HappyAnniversaryMedicaid #Medicaid53
#Medicaid helps seniors, people with disabilities, kids, parents, and many others live healthy lives. #MedicaidWorks #HappyAnniversaryMedicaid #Medicaid53
#Medicaid offers high-quality care. Medicaid beneficiaries are likelier than those with private coverage to say their care was excellent or very good. #MedicaidWorks #HappyAnniversaryMedicaid #Medicaid53

Lawsuit argues w/o #ACA individual mandate (repealed in 12/17 #TaxBill) the entire law should be illegal! How? Why? What?

In 2012, Chief Justice John Roberts stopped a 2012 lawsuit to make ACA illegal. Roberts said Congress could not order people to buy insurance....BUT

Last night I promised a thread about #abortion before Roe v Wade legalized it nationally. Until the mid-1800s, common law allowed abortion until "quickening", when fetal movement can be felt. Toxic abortion remedies & doctors competing w midwives led to… 1/
laws outlawing abortion except where pregnancy was likely to be fatal spreading across the country. Bottled abortion remedies could be and were fatal, and doctors, almost all white and male, didn't want midwives competing with them for pregnancy care. 2/
"In the late 1920s some 15,000 women a year died from [illegal] abortions…In 1971, the year after decriminalization, the maternal-mortality rate in New York State dropped 45%." 3/
