#JudgeJackson just had to explain to @SenTomCotton that when you sue the federal government you have to name an OFFICER of the federal government, not "the government" itself.

This is how Tom Price ended up going from being a plaintiff to a named defendant in THE SAME LAWSUIT.
In 2014, Tom Price was a GOP member of the House when then-Speaker Boehner sued the Obama Admin over the ACA.

The case was still pending when Trump appointed Price to be his first HHS Secretary, which means the lawsuit became "House vs. Price"

Wondering where the misleading narrative about #JudgeJackson pushed by Sen. Hawley yesterday — re criminal sentences — comes from? Spoiler: it has dark money origins 🧵
It appears this line of attack originated via the American Accountability Foundation, an outfit with clear links to Conservative Partnership Institute that was launched in 2021 to oppose Biden’s nominees.
It was then promoted in a separate “report” by the Article III Project (A3P), another right-wing outfit that received almost all its known funding from the dark money Concord Fund in 2019.
