*45 is following through on his threat to sabotage #ACA by withholding CSR subsidies & slashing enrollment outreach.

.@PattyMurray & @SenAlexander negotiated an ACA compromise that would stabilize exchanges & preserve protections.
healthpayerintelligence.com/news/alexander…
The CBO score for the Alexander-Murray #ACA compromise was released yesterday and it's a home run.
Virtually every constituency supports the Alexander-Murray #ACA compromise.
*45 has given mixed signals on A-M and has proposed changes that would gut pre-existing condition protections. theincidentaleconomist.com/wordpress/heal…
Because of *45's lack of clarity, Rs have hesitated to bring A-M to the floor, despite likely having the votes.

Alexander-Murray is a win/win bill for consumers. It lowers the deficit w/o reduction in ppl insured. We must press Congress to to vote now!
Thank you for taking time to make a difference today.

If Trump declares a #StateOfEmergency - a tool used by autocrats throughout history to consolidate power - he will justify it by using contrived statistics.

This is textbook authoritarian and it will require education & support for institutional guardrails to defeat.
Institutional guardrails include Congress & Courts.

The 1976 National Emergencies Act provides some checks & balances on Trump's ability to declare an emergency.

House Democrats must hold hearings & court challenges must occur.

CC: @TeamPelosi @RepCummings @OversightDems
Unfortunately, the 1976 Act was later amended to require the President's signature or a 2/3rds veto override in both chambers.

Thus, should Trump ultimately declare a #StateOfEmergency tomorrow, it will be on @HouseDemocrats to hold hearings ASAP & expose his plan.

1/ Financial Services Cmte. (@FSCDems)

High on @RepMaxineWaters' agenda are Deutschebank loans to Trump & Trump's roll-back of banking regulations.

She also aims to empower the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, which the Trump administration has been gutting.
2/ Intelligence Cmte. (No Twitter handle yet)

Under R's, Intel impeded the Russia probe, pushed Deep State conspiracy theories & blocked subpoenas.

But now, @RepAdamSchiff is staffing up Intel for a real investigation of Russia's attack on democracy & Trump campaign complicity.

Retired generals, regardless political persuasion, continue to sound alarm bells about the danger Trump poses, yet Republicans refuse to take responsibility for the traitor in their ranks.
The breadth of voices refusing to even consider a position working in the cabinet of the President of the United States should make even the most fervent Trump supporter worried.

And it's more than just generals who have been engaged in unprecedented public critiques of the President.

Chief Justice Roberts issued a public rebuke of Trump after he politicized the courts.

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.

BREAKING: Trump's radical leaked “public charge” reg that will separate families, discriminate against ppl w/disabilities & effectively deny healthcare & other basics to legal immigrants & citizen kids just moved to OMB, meaning could be dropped soon reginfo.gov/public/do/eoDe… 1/
What is “public charge?” It’s an arcane immigration provision, designed to exclude immigrants who would be primarily dependent on govt for subsistence. Traditionally that's meant that they rely on cash assistance for subsistence or receive Medicaid for long-term care. 2/
The draft executive order would radically redefine “public charge” in three ways that would mean millions of legal immigrants and US citizens would be affected. 3/

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

By the way, tomorrow is the last day to start your #ACA application. I say start because once I started my app this week, I had until February to complete it.
Who knows how much longer I’ll have it after this year, but for 2018, I got the plan I wanted last year, which was then $100 more, for $30 more. The news story than Asterisk fubared taking away the best plans with that one executive order is true.

He’s that incompetent.
I know some people are like “why should I have to pay a tax penalty if I don’t get a plan.” You realize you might qualify for a $0 out of pocket plan AND get a tax credit? I’m not a lawyer or anything but why wouldn’t you want a bigger tax return for basically checking a box?
