@ACLU @NYCLU @arnoldporter @uscensusbureau @john_abowd 5. Remember: last week, U.S. District Judge Jesse Furman set a schedule for reviewing the latest #CitizenshipQuestion allegations involving Thomas Hofeller docs that goes into early August -- way past @uscensusbureau's July 1 deadline to start printing👇

6. @NewYorkStateAG Letitia James, whose office represented plaintiffs in one of the NY-based #CitizenshipQuestion lawsuits, says her office “will support efforts to bring transparency to this matter.” (Deleted earlier tweet that said she supports request to delay #SCOTUS ruling.)
@NewYorkStateAG 7. Here's my write-up on the latest twist in the legal battle over the #2020Census #CitizenshipQuestion👇

The #CitizenshipQuestion the Trump admin wants on the #2020Census is unprecedented.

Yes, past U.S. censuses have included citizenship questions.

But never before has it DIRECTLY asked for the citizenship status of EVERY person living in EVERY household.

2. By the end of June, the Supreme Court is expected to announce its ruling on whether the Trump administration can add this #CitizenshipQuestion to the #2020Census👇

3. After the #SCOTUS ruling is out, you can expect to hear a lot about the history of the U.S. census asking about citizenship status.

Let me tell you... it's COMPLICATED.

@reneeklahr & I broke down that history for you in this handy chart👇

Trump Hotels' website still lists Trump SoHo New York among its properties in the Our Hotels menu. Select its name though to access its page and there's a message about it being renamed

It’s a 7:41 drive from the White House to the Trump Hotel DC (with a motorcade; slower for you).
