#REDFLAG: The case to KILL the #ACA by the Trump Administration and 20 Republican AGs will proceed on 7/9.

Oral arguments will be heard by a panel in the 5th Circuit.

In Dec, a judge in TX ruled that the ACA is now unconstitutional (b/c the GOP repealed the individual mandate).
#REDFLAG: The Trump DOJ is now arguing that Congress and Dem State AGs CAN'T DEFEND the #ACA in court.

After refusing to defend the #ACA as 20 Republican AGs try to kill it...the Trump Administration is trying to block Democrats from defending it instead.
#FFS: One on the arguments Trump's DOJ is using to block Dem State AGs from defending the ACA...

...is by claiming that even if it's struck down in the red states suing, doesn't mean that it'd be struck down nationwide.

That's not how FEDERAL laws work.
#PREVIOUSLY: For a breakdown of what happened in the Texas v. U.S. case, and the December ruling by a Republican-appointed judge claiming that without the individual mandate, the #ACA is unconstitutional...

I would gladly donate to @Hickenlooper's campaign...for Colorado's Senate seat.

I think a lot of us would. In fact, I think he'd raise millions more than he has running for President, if he just ran for the Senate instead.
@Hickenlooper Exactly. Keeping the House and taking state legislatures and governorships, as well...
@Hickenlooper #PSST: Gov. @Hickenlooper, this could be you...in Colorado...

"I never expected to meet you at this place," Kim, who appeared overjoyed in the moment, told Trump.

He's surprised b/c he didn't have to do ANYTHING to earn a meeting at the DMZ with the American President, which is what you'd expect AFTER a real nuclear disarmament agreement.
"At this point I'm not sure what it is that President Trump is trying to accomplish, because while all this engagement has gone on, there has been no decline in the stockpile of North Korean nuclear weapons or missiles; in fact they have increased them."

@RealTimers - Are you aware the Tulsi Gabbard is the ONLY "Democratic" candidate being promoted by Russian trolls/bots? Are you comfortable giving her a platform, as it seems you are not aware of this?

Why do you think that is? #RTOvertime

nbcnews.com/politics/2020-…
@RealTimers - She called that reporting about the Russian trolls/bots promoting her as "Fake News."

So if you believe her Trumpian response, did you know that Putin allies and apologists have ALSO been promoting her?

Why do you think that is? #RTOvertime
thedailybeast.com/tulsi-gabbards…
@RealTimers - Her FIRST interview following the #DemDebate the other night was with Breitbart. Druge LOVES her. So does Fox News.

Why do you think that is? #RTOvertime

Trump & the Republicans inhumane treatment of people seeking asylum then separating the children from their parents and throwing them into separate concentration camps possibly never seeing them again continues. They're taking newborns from moms 6/1/2019😢
Trump and his administration are punishing good hearted people for helping people in need..
#republican @GOP and #Trump administration
are packing migrants seeking asylum in El Paso like they're sardines.
They just don't care!

Trump’s DOJ, enabled by the GOP who allowed the #TexasFoldEm lawsuit to happen in the first place, just said that they want the ENTIRE ACA scrapped.
Meanwhile, tomorrow, @HouseDemocrats will roll out #ACA 2.0.
DON’T *EVER* CLAIM THE PARTIES ARE THE SAME.
acasignups.net/19/03/24/its-o…
As I keep pointing out (and as @RonBrownstein JUST WROTE ABOUT a few days ago), while it’s fine to discuss & debate #MFA vs #Med4America, etc, THE #ACA IS STILL UNDER ATTACK. MFA/etc won’t happen until 2022 at the earliest. The ACA is under attack NOW.

theatlantic.com/politics/archi…
REMINDER: If the entire ACA were to be repealed:
—16 million people would lose Medicaid
—9 million people would lose subsidized exchange coverage
—850,000 would lose BHP coverage in MN & NY
...and that’s just for starters.

Feb. 2018, 18 @GOP AG's & 2 GOP Governors Filed a Lawsuit to Repeal the #ACA in the U.S. Northern District of TX

This lawsuit is currently being heard. This is what it means to YOUR healthcare if Kavanaugh is confirmed. #ProtectOurCare #WhatsAtStake (THREAD)1/15
These are the Republican state attorneys general and governors from 20 states that filed the lawsuit in February 2018 in the U.S. Northern District of Texas.

#ProtectOurCare #WhatsAtStake 2/15
In June of 2018, the Trump Administration said it would not defend the #ACA and actually AGREED in part with the plaintiffs, arguing that protections for people with #PreExistingConditions should be overturned.

On the 8th Anniversary of #ACA it's crucial to demonstrate how our President has undermined healthcare for MILLIONS via #ACASabotage since his inauguration.

This THREAD is dedicated to everyone who used their voice to save healthcare & why we all must be a #HealthCareVoter 1/30
1/20/17: Trump's #ACA Executive Order directs federal agencies begin ❌ ACA “to maximum extent permitted by law.”

EO delays ACA provisions imposing tax, fee, or other costs & develops “free & open market” in health care among states.

Repeal legislation begins. #ACASabotage 2/30
1/26/17: Administration stops planned ads for the final week of open enrollment for marketplace health coverage. As a result, 400K+ are not enrolled.

Final 2017 HealthCare.gov plan selections come in below 2016. #ACASabotage 3/30

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

Two errors in the 2nd graf of Breitbart's Trump Hotel DC article:
-holdings aren't out of @realDonaldTrump's hands: trust isn't blind & he can profit from it
-Trump Org told Congress it was estimating foreign receipts—not auto donating in full
