Donald Trump just rejected two requests for major disaster declarations made weeks ago by Colorado Gov. Jared Polis (D).

Sen. Michael Bennet (D) called Trump's denials "malicious and obscene." Polis accused the president of playing "political games."

Are they right? They have a strong case! 🧵⬇️

Here's Trump judicial nominee Justin Olson today, admitting than in 2015, he gave a sermon in which he said that “marriage was not intended for all people,” including “our handicapped friends or our persons with physical disabilities that might prevent the robust marriage that we’re called to.”

One of the biggest moments of my career:
USCIS canceled my client’s naturalization oath ceremony. We filed a lawsuit, went to trial, and the judge swore him in right there in the courtroom!

Health insurance premiums on the Affordable Care Act’s marketplaces are set to soar after Congress failed Thursday to pass a last-minute plan to avert the rate hikes.

As many as four million people could be forced to go uninsured, because they can no longer afford their health plan.
Blame Republicans for our health insurance mess
Conservatives haven’t taken health policy seriously for decades.

They're using the confinement box, one of the most horrific methods of CIA torture in the post-9/11 black sites, against migrants now. This is the direct result of the lack of consequences for the architects of the torture program. Either there will be criminal penalties for this or it will expand.

Today is the 70th anniversary of Rosa Parks' arrest. Six myths: 1) She wasn't old or tired. 42 years old that day, she had a "life history of being rebellious" & had spent two decades helping to turn the Montgomery NAACP into a more activist branch alongside ED Nixon and Johnnie Carr.

"Never spread the lie in the headline" should be a hard rule of 21st century journalism.

Research shows that repeating lies helps to spread them, and people read headlines more than they read stories.
News media has to do better with headlines that present false and unverified public health claims.

USPTO Wants To Make Bad Patents Unchallengeable. You Have Until December 2nd To Tell Them No.

The US Patent Office is about to gut the only effective tool we have for killing bad patents—and they're doing it by administrative fiat, without Congress, in a way that would make patent trolling easier than it's been in over a decade. They need to hear from you by Tuesday, December 2nd, or this may become reality. Patent trolling was really holding back all sorts of innovation in the 2000s.

Alan Dershowitz is one of those claiming Epstein was not a pedophile because he pleaded guilty to one count of having sex for money with a 17-year-and-10-month-old person. "That’s not a pedophile." See this important response from Julia Brown, the brave reporter who broke the news on this

I will not support a deal that does nothing to make health care more affordable.

We are in a health care emergency. A simple one-year extension of these tax credits would cost less than Donald Trump’s $40 billion bailout for Argentina.

A vote for this bill is a mistake.

It's a major lesson that the US has never learned: that to have a country where people want to do good things, they have to know that there will be serious consequences for doing bad things.
