Texas seeks to invalidate elections in four states for yielding results with which it disagrees.
Its request for this Court to exercise its original jurisdiction and then anoint Texas’s preferred candidate for President is an affront to principles of constitutional democracy.

Tonight, the voices of Survivors were heard.
I stand proudly alongside these brave souls, who’ve waited 15 long months since the release of the Grand Jury’s Report on clergy abuse, to see the jurors’ 4 recommended reforms be brought to the PA Senate floor for a vote.

The @realDonaldTrump@HHSGov "Refusal of Care" rule puts people’s lives at risk, which is why we've taken them to court - to try and protect patients.
This hypothetical thread breaks down what's at stake:
The rule creates multiple barriers to care at nearly every step in the process.
Let’s imagine a patient - a woman w/ an ectopic pregnancy.
She goes to her doctor for an ultrasound & the ectopic (non-viable) pregnancy is confirmed. She'll die if the pregnancy isn't terminated.
