NOW: The DC Circuit rules that the Trump admin. cannot block pregnant, undocumented minors in US custody from obtaining abortions. The court rejects "the government’s position that its denial of abortion access can be squared with Supreme Court precedent" assets.documentcloud.org/documents/6153…
NEWS: The DC Circuit ruled the Trump administration cannot block pregnant, undocumented minors in US custody from getting abortions. This reopens a legal fight that's been dormant for months — DOJ could now petition the US Supreme Court buzzfeednews.com/article/zoetil…
The Trump admin acknowledged the constitutional right to abortion applied to migrant minors in custody, but argued the govt wasn't totally stopping them from getting abortions because they could leave the US. The DC Circuit found that logic didn't hold up buzzfeednews.com/article/zoetil…
The Trump admin also raised the specter of "abortion tourism" from countries that ban abortion. DC Circuit was unconvinced, saying the govt prob wouldn't make the same arg about migrants' right to worship in US custody if denied religious liberty at home buzzfeednews.com/article/zoetil…

If you, like me, were eagerly waiting for the 5th Circuit to post the recording of arguments today in the Obamacare case because, sadly, you did not go to New Orleans, it's up now: ca5.uscourts.gov/OralArgRecordi…
Here's where things stand in the Obamacare case:
- A district judge in Texas ruled in December that the individual mandate was unconstitutional and couldn't be severed from the law, so the whole thing had to go buzzfeednews.com/article/paulmc…
- DOJ originally argued that the individual mandate + pre-existing conditions provisions had to rise or fall together, but could be severed from the rest of the law. Later, they changed course, joining Texas and Repub AGs in arguing the whole thing had to go

Big opinion out of the 2nd Circuit today: President Trump cannot block his critics on Twitter because he disagrees with their views — that violates the First Amendment, the court held assets.documentcloud.org/documents/6185…
NOW: Trump can't block people on Twitter just because he disagrees with them, a federal appeals court ruled today. Trump uses Twitter for official purposes and created a "public forum" – and that means the First Amendment kicks in, the court held buzzfeednews.com/article/zoetil…
DOJ says they're "disappointed" and "exploring possible next steps" after the 2nd Circuit ruled Trump can't block people on Twitter just because he disagrees with them – the govt could ask the en banc court to reconsider, or petition SCOTUS buzzfeednews.com/article/zoetil…

@Maddow Exclusive: Trump admin. spreadsheet tracked girls' pregnancies.
Scott Lloyd, director of the Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR), had reportedly been obstructing pregnant undocumented minors being held at a refugee center from obtaining abortions. nbcnews.to/2TFHmlD (1/10)
LA Times reported in December 2017 that Lloyd sought to block a teen rape victim from accessing abortion.

"In America, it does not matter whether you are an immigrant or not...you have a constitutionally-protect right to get an abortion if you want one," @Maddow says. (2/10)

#Trump admin, #GOP: Please stop lying. We have the receipts.

Trump cult: Please stop citing Christian values as you support this cruelty. You make a mockery of the religion you claim to fervently follow. You know dang well this isn't how Jesus wanted us to treat each other.
As one who attended Catholic grade school all 6 years, I had the Bible and Jesus' words drilled into my brain. What the zealot "Christians" are espousing as religious values on people who are "different" than you - immigrants, LGBTQ, etc. - is a far departure from The Word.

President and Mrs. Trump are dining at the Trump Hotel DC right now.
It’s a 7:41 drive from the White House to the Trump Hotel DC (with a motorcade; slower for you).
