🚨 There is a small fissure in the House Republican caucus RIGHT NOW that is holding up the #TrumpTaxScam. Let's blow it open. 🚨 1/
The House is supposed to vote *tomorrow* on the Senate budget resolution, which sets up the #TrumpTaxScam. 2/
But 1st Rs from NY & NJ want assurances the state & local tax deduction (SALT) will be preserved in #TrumpTaxScam. Leadership won't do it 3/
This impasse over SALT is keeping Rs from locking in the votes they need to pass the budget resolution tomorrow. 4/
SO, IMPORTANT: do you live in NJ or NY and have a Repub Congressman? CALL THEM NOW. Say you want the MoC to OPPOSE the budget resolution. 5/
Holding up 1st phase of #TrumpTaxScam (budget res adding $1.5 trillion to deficit for tax cuts for rich) helps us later. So let's do it. 6/6
PS I hardly ever use sirens.

Ok, I've had some time to digest last night's ACA ruling. First thing to know: ACA is still the law of the land, and even the Trump admin says so. Open Enrollment runs until midnight. 1/
What does "ACA still law" mean in practical terms? Same thing it always has: Medicaid expansion, protections for pre-ex, $ help with premiums and good coverage thru marketplaces, limits on insurance co profits (M👏🏼L👏🏼R👏🏼), 26y.o.s, and SO MUCH more. 130M+ Americans benefit. 2/
So what's next? Case will be appealed to 5th Circuit by CA+other states defending ACA. What happens there? Some legal scholars think this case is absurd and TX et al will lose, and then the Supreme Court won't take it up. But... there's no guarantee. 3/

Whoa! House Republicans dropped a secret tax bill overnight because they just #cantstopwontstop trying to blow up the deficit with tax cuts for their friends and the already-rich. There's a lot going on here but let's talk about some of it. 1/
First: what are Repubs really up to here? Remember, in their rush to jam the #GOPTaxScam through Congress they made a few big messes. Some were accidents and some were actual slights. But now industry lobbyists want them fixed and Rs want to make it happen. 2/
So they're making these "fixes" part of a bigger tax package, that includes other provisions they think sound agreeable on the surface -- but of course, there's more to the story, and they're mostly geared toward the rich too. 3/

If Dems supporting the #BankLobbyistAct are looking for an off ramp to change their mind, they have all they need to jump ship between the managers amdt (new text) and the CBO score. Here are a few new provisions added last night. 1/
Big Q: is Sec. 310 anything more than a gift to Equifax? We WANT alt. data considered in credit scores but 1 of the only alternative models is Equifax's Vantage Score. There's NO accountability for breach affecting 148 million ppl in this bill. Equifax doesn't need a new gift. 2/
Also added: section creating new loopholes for risky commercial real estate loans, a key driver of community bank failures ~2008. Supporters say this will make credit more available, but commercial lending is already taking off w/o it. No need for this. ourfinancialsecurity.org/wp-content/upl… 3/

Ignore the polls and get out there and #Vote on November 6th. Relying on polling is a relic of a time gone by.
I’m not saying looking at @FiveThirtyEight’s model and charts and stuff isn’t cool, because it is and provides some insight. But no matter what the numbers say, it’s most certainly NEVER an excuse to not #Vote because you feel your peeps are a “lock”
Need nothing further than to point to 2016. Which by the way, @FiveThirtyEight didn’t really have wrong, but the “selected not elected” mindset existed before 2016. Why else would over 100 million people choose NOT to participate in their civic duty to choose their leaders.

GOP is getting ready for hell. Thanks to their control of Congress, Republicans have blocked most of Democrats’ investigative requests. If House flips and the GOP loses its power, Trump Admin isn't ready for the investigatory onslaught that awaits them.

For crying out loud #vote #vote #vote
The most dangerous thing right now is if Dems become complacent and take a win for granted. Please register to vote AND VOTE EARLY TO AVOID FRUSTRATION

I keep thinking back to a discussion a few months on reddit about THE BELGARIAD. Several comments were made about it being cliche and pedestrian, and someone said, “Yeah, it’s a fine story, but it’s never going to be a classic.”
And all I could think to respond was, “It’s over thirty years later and we’re still talking about it. How is that NOT ‘a classic’?
But that got me thinking- I cite THE BELGARIAD (and THE MALLOREON, its sequel series) as one of my influential works. But what is that influence? I know I’ve read the whole series several times. My copies of the books are in terrible shape.

I can't with this guy...but interestingly, he's also revealing a lot with each one of these interviews.

Why not just go speak to the Grand Jury? Clearly, it's not about avoiding spending more time talking about the investigation and your experience...

He can't help himself..
#NOW: SAM NUNBERG says he was told he wasn't a target or a subject of the investigation and he was OFFERED IMMUNITY by the Special Counsel's team.

He also said THEY WANT HIM TO TESTIFY...TO CATCH ROGER STONE ON PERJURY...

ADMITTING THAT ROGER MAY HAVE LIED TO PROSECUTORS.
#LOL: Save this one...

SAM NUNBERG: "I'M NOT GOING TO JAIL, COME ON."
