If it's Thursday, it's another temper tantrum and more lies. So we're correcting the record #ForThePeople.

Thread. ⬇️
House Democrats have accomplished so much already. So far we have taken action to...

✅ Defend Americans’ access to affordable health care and prescription drugs.

There's more to accomplish #ForThePeople.

Whether Trump is on board or not, we are working to create good-paying jobs by investing in our communities – renewing our roads, bridges, broadband, water systems and schools for the 21st Century.
At the same time, we are following the facts – and that frightens this Administration that is engaged in the most significant cover-up in modern history.

In the United States of America, no one is above the law.
It's time for Mitch McConnell to follow suit on the people's key issues and much more. vox.com/2019/5/21/1862…

Exactly two years ago, Trump and House Republicans celebrated the passage of Trumpcare that guts protections for those with pre-existing conditions and rips health coverage from over 20 million Americans.

📽 from @ProtectOurCare
Today, instead of joining Democrats to lower the cost of prescription drugs and increase health coverage, Republicans are playing a deadly game with the lives of the American people by targeting the Affordable Care Act in court.
One thing is clear: Trump and Republicans think people don’t deserve access to quality health care. They think insurance companies should be able to discriminate against people with pre-existing conditions.

Quite simply, this is deadly.

REMINDER: this year is the first year Americans file their taxes after Republicans in complete control of Washington rammed through the #GOPTaxScam.

Since then, several things have happened. #TaxDay
🚫 Manufacturers closed plants to ship jobs overseas.

🚫 Big corporations paid zero in taxes while ordinary, hard-working people got slapped with a tax hike.

🚫 Trump is actively pushing to gut of over $2 trillion from Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security.
Meanwhile, Trump can't seem to get his story straight about why he refuses to release his taxes. Show us the tax returns. #WhatsInYourReturn?

1. Making this tweet once again brought home how difficult it is to use traditional political (science) terminology, like "mainstream" or "anti-system".
2. I use "illiberal" as shorthand for "anti-liberal democracy", i.e. against system of majority rule and minority rights. It includes extremists (anti-democrats) of left and right and, mainly, populists of left and right.

Thursday's #SCOTUS stay in the LA abortion case was already (likely) the _fourth_ time in three months that Chief Justice Roberts broke from his conservative colleagues and joined the more progressive Justices on a stay application.

A short #thread on why this is worth watching:
The first two were on the same day, November 2, 2018.

In the census litigation, the Court denied the Justice Department's application for a stay over noted dissents from Justices Thomas, Alito, and Gorsuch:

supremecourt.gov/orders/courtor…
And in the Juliana climate change case, the Court also denied an application for a stay from the Solicitor General, this time with Justices Thomas and Gorsuch noting that they would have granted the application:

Ordinarily, I would leave this kind of religious illiteracy & historical ignorance by the wayside. It predominates across too many of our discussions, and I cannot keep up. But this kind of statement then animates into policies that hurt real people. So, here goes: #Thread
The idea that an amorphous 'Sunni' population has been killing an amorphous 'Shi'i' population since time immemorial is ridiculous. Around 90% of the world's Muslim population is Sunni. If they had been bent on killing all Shi'is, I doubt we'd be talking about this in 2019.
At Karbala, there were no 'Sunnis' & 'Shi'is'. The crystallisation of the Sunni & Shi'i followings into separate groupings had not taken place. This massacre took place less than 60 years after the passing of the Prophet. Calling anyone 'Sunni' at this point is incredulous.

1. With @realDonaldTrump once again going after the Ninth Circuit (Happy Thanksgiving, I guess??), here's a medium-sized #thread on each of the five independent factual inaccuracies, analytical problems, and/or outright lies at the heart of his judicial temper tantrum:
1. Let's start with the easiest and most obvious flaw: The actual decision that has set off this tirade was by a federal district judge in San Francisco, _not_ the Ninth Circuit. Especially if he's relying on reversal rates (more on that shortly), that's a pretty key distinction.
2. As for the decision itself, the Executive Order the district court put on hold purports to redefine eligibility for asylum in a manner that is squarely inconsistent with the text of the relevant statute, 8 U.S.C. § 1158.

Odds are that _any_ judge would've ruled the same way.

<THREAD>“Honduras has the world's highest murder rate and high levels of sexual violence” w most living in extreme poverty & much unemployment. A lg % are single moms. Roman Catholicism is the main religion; sm scale agriculture’s the main economy. The life threatening
2/trek to possible USA asylum is >1600 miles. They’re unable to carry more than 1 btl of water & food is whatever is found in trash or donated by strangers along the way. The trip is their last hope. It’s not that they’re going TO the US but LEAVING the hell of Honduras.
3/I don’t have the answer to the “caravan” or “immigration” situation. That’s for global minds more astute than mine. I do have observations to share though. *Immigration levels have been much higher than they are now. *POC, Muslims, LGBTQ & Jews have all been targeted
