@AnnaKBailey and I explain some of what’s at stake. #DefendCivilRights #FightForHousingJustice

It is already hard to fight racism and discrimination in housing. This important legal tool shouldn’t be taken away. #DefendCivilRights #FightForHousingJustice
Disparate impact refers to policies and practices that seem neutral or fair but in practice- either intentionally or not - negatively impact people protected under the Fair Housing Act. #DefendCivilRights #FightForHousingJustice
The Fair Housing Act protects group of people who have historically faced housing discrimination based on sex, race, national origin, familial status, disability or religion. #DefendCivilRights #FightForHousingJustice
The Administration’s proposed rule would make it harder to bring forward disparate impact claims. Thus, crippling the ability to fight housing discrimination. #FightingForHousingJustice #DefendCivilRights
We have a long legacy of racist and discriminatory housing policies and practices that we struggle to reverse. HUD’s proposal would solidify and likely exacerbate these bad practices. #FightingForHousingJustice #DefendCivilRights
Putting people at risk of housing instability and homelessness. #FightingForHousingJustice #DefendCivilRights

An important story about a major threat to health coverage and access to care. A few additional points 1/
First, while the story questions whether the Administration will put forward a health care plan, it already has one: its budget. And the budget seeks basically the same major policy outcomes as the lawsuit: cbpp.org/blog/trumps-he… 2/
The budget calls on Congress to enact the Cassidy-Graham ACA repeal bill, then cut coverage programs by about $700 billion below the levels in that legislation. Comparing with the lawsuit… 3/

It’s #SocialSecurity Trustees Report Day!!! 1/ ssa.gov/oact/TR/2019/i…
Before we get started, let’s clear something up: Take today’s headlines with a big old grain of salt, because #SocialSecurity is not “going broke,” “bankrupt,” “running dry,” or otherwise headed for the graveyard. 2/ h/t @WalterJGottlieb: ncpssm.org/entitledtoknow…
The Trustees Report tells us about the current status of #SocialSecurity’s trust funds--i.e., its rainy-day account. Social Security taps into the trust fund reserves to pay benefits when our contributions fall short of the full cost of the program. 3/ cbpp.org/research/socia…

It may be tempting to ignore the cuts to health coverage programs in the FY2020 POTUS Budget released today, but they’re worth paying attention to 1/
The Budget continues to embrace the Graham-Cassidy-Johnson-Heller proposal to repeal Medicaid expansion & ACA subsidies, replace them with a flawed & inadequate block grant, & impose a per-capita cap on the rest of Medicaid – cutting $659 billion/10 years from these programs 2/
A reminder that Graham-Cassidy also ends the ACA’s nationwide protections for people with pre-existing conditions (the Budget says people with pre-existing conditions would be unharmed b/c states would have to submit plans for protecting them) cbpp.org/research/healt… 3/

Here's my Trump FY2020 budget thread, which I'll be updating throughout the day.

To start us off, the Trump budget calls for $220 billion in cuts to SNAP. SNAP gives on avg just $1.40/meal. It lifts 8 million out of poverty. And Trump would eviscerate it.
cbpp.org/research/polic…
Because the admin has withheld information, we can't yet calculate percent cuts, but as you can see, those SNAP cuts are large and immediate. We're talking on the order of a 1/4 cut to SNAP. How disgusting. I don't care who you are or what you've done. No one should go hungry.
The Trump budget would destroy student loans and cripple college affordability. It calls for $207 billion in cuts to the student loan program.

#ConCon 101
The concept of a Constitutional Convention is foreign to many people. Understandable, since we've only had one in the entire history of the United States and it produced The Constitution. So I thought I'd write this thread to try make it understandable to everyone.
For anyone who doesn't want to or doesn't have the time to read this whole thread, I am also posting ConCon 101 EZ and ConCon 101 EZ+ which are much quicker. The purpose of this thread? #NoConCon
To convince you how vital it is for our country's future to oppose ANY state resolutions for ANY type of #ConCon. They are all dangerous for Democrats. #NoConCon
