NEW: In a July 2010 appearance, Mike Bloomberg derided Obamacare as "a disgrace," saying it would do "nothing to fix the big health care problems in this country." He added the law "just created another program that's going to cost a lot of money."

cnn.com/2020/02/16/pol…
It's part of a string of critical comments on Obamacare we identified, a program he now praises and wants to build on. He also said the law "really dysfunctional," would increase hospital overcrowding, and did not help solve rising costs in health care.

In one event in Feb. 2011, Bloomberg said "it's going to bankrupt us," – his campaign arguing "it" being health care costs and not the bill.

In another appearance in 2014, Bloomberg said Obamacare was "really dysfunctional," along with Dodd-Frank.

Comment from the Bloomberg campaign argued he supported health care reform in 2009 and thought the bill didn't go far enough – (though this is somewhat undercut by criticism of the House bill a month later) including adding the House bill's public option.

There’s a lot of context missing to Sanders thoughts on Wallace. In my profile of Sanders in the 1970s I included an article he wrote on Wallace. He compares him to Hitler and calls him a demagogue: cnn.com/2019/05/07/pol…
Here’s Sanders full article on George Wallace that @natemcdermott dug up last year. He compares Wallace to Hitler. cnn.com/2019/05/07/pol…
@natemcdermott Here's the entire 1972 article on Wallace from Bernie Sanders my files. It ran in Liberty Union's magazine Movement – third Vermont third party from which he was a member. He says Wallace traffics in racism and offers no real a solutions outside rhetoric.

NEW: In a radio interview in October 2016, Trump’s impeachment lawyer Alan Dershowitz called him corrupt and said he could continue to be corrupt in the White House. cnn.com/2020/01/28/pol…
Dershowitz cited Trump University and “so many other things” to say Trump was corrupt. He later said he worried Trump “will embolden and strengthen some of the fascist elements in our society.” cnn.com/2020/01/28/pol…
“I was campaigning for Clinton. That's what I believed at the time based on media reports. I didn't know Trump. I knew Clinton." - Dershowitz told CNN in an email.

U.S. congressman sharing a fake photo. This photoshopped from Obama meeting India's prime minister.

Gosar now going after “dim witted” reporters pointing out he shared a fake.
Damn these numbers

1. I may be speaking heresy but IMO the reason that @JoeBiden is not getting traction is because he appears slavishly tied to #ObamaCare. In 2013, because I'm self employed, I was cast in the Obamacare rate setting pit of hell. But I fought it and got my own policy. #HoganCare.
2. It was an odd time. I had my own census taker to hung around bothering me. The local dominant health insurance carrier brought in a specialist from South Africa to deal with me. The pitch the Democrats gave me was that it as just the first step. An anchor on which to build
3. the system. They shamed me with the memory of FDR so I shut up and didn't risk torching the ACA. Joe needs to have a better idea than continuing an admittedly flawed program. The party can shut folks like me up but the economics of health care swung the midterms remains key.

"Obamacare... has become Obama’s tar baby" - Mona Charen 11/9/10. So yes, this is definitely someone Democrats should look to for on how to choose their nominee.
.@monacharenEPPC also said feminists were to blame for campus sexual assault. So yeah, DEFINITELY don't nominate Elizabeth Warren because she doesn't tick Charen's boxes.
.@monacharenEPPC said she "sympathized" with Rush Limbaugh when he called Sandra Fluke a "slut" for being in favor of contraception coverage. So you should respect her POV of Elizabeth Warren's nomination, I suppose?

NEW: The CBO update shows that the recent budget deal made a bad situation worse. From our statement: "The recent budget deal was a budget buster, and now we have further proof. Both parties took an already unsustainable situation and made it much worse." crfb.org/press-releases…
"Debt is now going to grow to almost the size of the economy within the decade. If Congress keeps extending tax cuts, debt will likely exceed the size of the economy within the decade."
"Between the budget deal, the tax cuts, and other recent unpaid-for legislation, policymakers have roughly doubled near-term deficits over just the past few years."

New: @PPFA and the @ACLU filed separate lawsuits in SDNY suing @HHSGov for issuing a rule that "would allow almost any health care provider" to deny "virtually any health service" -- or withhold info on health care options -- based on personal objections alone. @CourthouseNews
The challenge the rule, set to take effect on July 22, 2019, as "arbitrary and capricious," in violation of the Administrative Procedure Act (APA).

The Trump administration has a long-established trend of losing APA cases.

The HHS rule is here: federalregister.gov/documents/2018…
The ACLU just issued its press release on this.

“The ACLU will not stand by as our government institutes policy that could endanger people’s lives,” its senior staff attorney Alexa Kolbi-Molinas said.

I’ve observed Colorado @SenCoryGardner since his election. What I’ve seen has left me dismayed. Rather than building bipartisan bridges to get things done, Cory became a supine Trump yes-man. There are 1000s reasons he shouldn’t be re-elected. Here are 101: #VoteCoryOut #COsen
#1: Even though he was elected by the narrowest of margins in 2014 in a state that has since voted for Hillary in 2016 & a democratic state govt trifecta in 2018, Cory continues to act as if he has a mandate from the white nationalist alt-right. #VoteCoryOut #cosen
#2: Cory Gardner has consistently voted for the extreme Trump agenda. During the 2019-2020 Congress, he’s voted with Trump over 90% of the time. During Trump’s 1st two years, Cory’s voting record was over 95% in line with Trump. #VoteCoryOut #cosen

Health care is a top concern for many Americans—and members of Congress must now decide how to move forward.

Their task: provide a coherent answer to our national anxiety over health care.

Here’s how they can. 👇🏽
Americans care immensely about health care—in countless polls the number one issue voters said they want their elected representatives to address is the high cost of health coverage.
Despite this dynamic, Republicans ran away from an issue that had been a source of political strength in recent years.

Perhaps it was because of their failed attempt to repeal Obamacare...
