Thread. In short, after 15 years, t he ACA has joined Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security as a bedrock law of the land they have to pretend to care about.

They’re still trying to gut it of course, but they can no longer pretend it’s a temporary anomaly.

John Thune is nervous. He just spread a bunch of lies on @pbsnewshour but I noticed one thing in particular: He reassured the audience that the underlying structure of ACA would be intact. He's lying. But I don't think I've heard a Republican make a promise about ACA like that before. Have you?

Hasan Piker is a piece of shit (not news) but using a shock collar on the highest setting (they're for alerting your dog, it should never get a pain/fear response) because it sets one paw outside of its teeny tiny dog bed as it tries to stretch while on multi-hour streams? Pure asshole behavior.

I've been wondering why Dominion Voting Systems suddenly reached settlements with Rudy Giuliani, Sidney Powell, and One America News.

Turns out, it's been purchased by a Republican-owned election tech firm that insisted on it, per Axios.

Imagine being a kid in Chicago and having a Black Hawk helicopter land on your roof, then being zip tied and dragged from your home in the middle of the night.

Time for the DA and state AG to convene grand juries about this dangerous and illegal misconduct by federal agents.
