THREAD: If you think the #CitizenshipQuestion fight is over, it's not. The Supreme Court may have blocked the question for now from #2020Census forms, but let me walk you through my latest reporting👇

npr.org/2019/06/29/735…
2. A majority of Supreme Court said they're keeping #CitizenshipQuestion off #2020Census for now bc Trump admin's use of Voting Rights Act as justification "seems to have been contrived." But court leaves open possibility of Trump admin trying again👇

supremecourt.gov/opinions/18pdf…
3. It's not clear if Trump admin will try again for #CitizenshipQuestion.

On Thursday, President Trump said he's asked "the lawyers if they can delay the Census, no matter how long" until #SCOTUS "can make a final and decisive decision."

This weekend👇

4. I'm watching to see what happens Monday in the #CitizenshipQuestion lawsuits in Maryland. Justice Department attorneys representing the Trump administration are set to tell admin plans to U.S. District Judge George Hazel👇

5. I'm also watching to see if the printing of #2020Census paper forms starts Monday, when the @uscensusbureau has said printing was scheduled and budgeted to begin for 1.5 billion pieces of paper census materials, including this many questionnaires👇

6. ICYMI, as recently as last Tuesday, the Trump administration told the Supreme Court how important it is to finalize whether or not #2020Census forms will include a #CitizenshipQuestion by today (June 30)👇

supremecourt.gov/DocketPDF/18/1…
7. You may have heard about the possibility of pushing back #2020Census printing until Oct. 31. It's important to point out that @uscensusbureau officials said that could happen only with "exceptional effort and additional resources"👇

8. "It's not just a matter of putting ink on paper," printing consultant Leo Raymond of @MailersHub tells me. Delays in #2020Census printing could make getting the job done even more difficult. There could be unexpected shortages in workers or materials.

9. By the way, delaying the constitutionally mandated #2020Census could jeopardize @uscensusbureau's ability to produce legally required state population counts by December 2020, which would disrupt the scheduled redistribution of congressional seats and Electoral College votes.
10. Delaying the #2020Census would also likely drive up the cost of what's already expected to be the most expensive census in U.S. history at an estimated $15.6 billion. More from @USGAO👇

11. Another thing I'm watching for: what Commerce @SecretaryRoss instructs the @uscensusbureau to do with the existing government records on citizenship that Ross told the bureau to compile from other agencies👇

12. Who said the #2020Census would be sleepy reporting beat?

@TheJusticeDept @NPR @SecretaryRoss @uscensusbureau 3. @SpeakerPelosi calls Trump admin decision to print #2020Census forms without a #CitizenshipQuestion "a welcome development for our democracy."

NEW: Asked again if he is going to delay the #2020Census, President Trump tells reporters at the White House: "We're looking at that very strongly."

"You go through all this detail, and you're not allowed to ask whether or not somebody is a citizen?"

From my rough transcript👇
2. Asked why it's so important for a #CitizenshipQuestion to be on the #2020Census, President Trump said: "I think it's very important to find out if somebody's a citizen as opposed to an illegal."
3. The #CitizenshipQuestion the Trump administration tried to get on the #2020Census DOES NOT ask about immigration status. Noncitizens living in the U.S. would not have to identify themselves as green card holders or unauthorized immigrants -- just "No, not a U.S. citizen"👇

JUST IN: Plaintiffs in #CitizenshipQuestion cases in Maryland ask for emergency ruling to block Trump admin from starting printing of #2020Census forms so U.S. District Judge George Hazel can reconsider discrimination & conspiracy claims. From @MALDEF, @AAAJ_AAJC, @CovingtonLLP👇
@MALDEF @AAAJ_AAJC @CovingtonLLP 2. Plaintiffs in Maryland cases are asking Judge Hazel to issue a preliminary injunction against #CitizenshipQuestion by Friday, given the very short timeline -- potential #SCOTUS ruling on #CitizenshipQuestion tomorrow/Thursday & scheduled start of census printing on Monday.
@MALDEF @AAAJ_AAJC @CovingtonLLP 3. Here's the full emergency motion for a preliminary injunction against #CitizenshipQuestion by plaintiffs in Maryland repped by @MALDEF, @AAAJ_AAJC, @CovingtonLLP👇

#Thread Family Doctors (Primary Care) Vs Speciality Care in #India
A few weeks ago, in response to a different thread ( ) there was a comment from @spinesurgeon that we need family physicians. (1/31)
Another comment in that thread by @VaradhKrish referred to the issue of patients going directly to specialists, bypassing primary care doctors. (2/31)
The problem of patients going to specialists directly, rather than to primary care/family doctors first and then being referred by them to specialists is one that requires a more in-depth analysis. (3/31)

#Thread If I were Obama.
If I was Obama on January 5, 2017 sitting in the WH meeting with my AG, FBI, DOJ, Perkins Coie Counsel, WH counsel, ODNI, CIA etc.. with a portfolio of data we manufactured, collated, paid for and collected and an EO I had just singed in Dec of 2016 (1)
An Executive Order that makes it the law of the land "Taking Additional Steps to Address the National Emergency With Respect to Significant Malicious Cyber-Enabled Activities" calling our #russia and all the entities we referenced in our "Portfolio" (2)
govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR…
A portfolio we had in our hands that was lack luster, circular and completely manufactured... If I was Obama I would gear up and call upon all those "of our unique and comprehensive system of alliances and partnerships" to join me. To join me (3)

#Thread 👇
AS we are all focused and arguing over the choice between @atiku and @MBuhari and following needless cat and mouse game over budget for #NigeriaDecides2019 NASS finally had the brainwave to divert N242.24bn (via virement) from existing budgets to fund 2019 elections.
Guess what budgets our dear overpaid #NASS led by @bukolasaraki choose to cut? Agriculture N11bn. HEALTH N8.05bn. EDUCATION N10.2bn. Works (roads included), Power and Housing N25.5bn. Science & Tech - N7.46bn. Water Resources - N12.95bn and more. Budget trackers went DEAF n BLIND
.@bukolasaraki and his cabal in #NASS claims these cuts were agreed on with the Presidency. This is a clever by half claim for those who forget how the @inecnigeria budget became a convenient weapon and was endlessly delayed by NASS. Weponised delay. saharareporters.com/2018/08/18/n18…
