Cornell's @rch371: “We are in the midst of a crisis where people are literally having to skip work & may miss paychecks or face medical debt ... The idea you would look to help out shale companies now is like something out of a satire or a bad movie." washingtonpost.com/business/2020/…

People are dramatically underestimating the scope and significance of the Trump administration's order on work requirements for Medicaid.

GOP-led states are gearing up to dismantle Medicaid in ways that go far beyond work requirements. Story coming soon
I spent last +24hrs combing thru GOP plans on Medicaid.

Here are some policies theyre aiming for:

- Impose new premiums on poor (like earning $5K/yr)
- Kick poor off who dont make payments
- Fines for "improper" ER use
- New fees 4 smokers

Story:
washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp/2…
Several states -- Wis., Maine, Ky -- want poorest of poor to pay Medicaid premiums

$8/month is virtually impossible if you're homeless

& then they'd lose insurance - for 6 months in some places, for 1yr elsewhere - for failure to pay

#BREAKING Robert Mueller To Make "Lengthy and Substantial Statement" on Russia Investigation at 11am ET (in 20 minutes) nyti.ms/2KapwS0
Mueller is making his first public comment on the Russia investigation in a few minutes at the Justice Dept. WaPo says it will be 8-minutes long. AG Barr is out of town but briefed on content. As was the White House, per @CNN, last night.
#Mueller confirms the Russia investigation was NEVER going to indict Trump—b/c a sitting president CANNOT be charged, per OLC. It would be unconstitutional, so NOT AN OPTION, he said. But Trump IS NOT exonerated. UPSHOT: Evidence showed obstruction but Mueller's hands were tied.

#BREAKING: White House says Trump “delaying” proposed next meeting with Russia's Putin until 2019, citing Mueller probe, per @AP
Next up, 🤡 👑Trump: I got my ‘would’ and ‘wouldn’t’ mixed up again. I meant to say, ‘Why WOULD I invite Putin to the White House?’ You know, a double negative doublespeak kinda thing. 😬
(I wasn’t far off😲🙀) Statement from press pool from Bolton: “The President believes that the next bilateral meeting with President Putin should take place after the Russia witch hunt [SIC] is over, so we’ve agreed that it will be after the first of the year” via @kaitlancollins
