Obviously, we don’t yet know if he’s just misrepresenting what is going to happen. Or if it’s happening at all. Obviously, given the context, it’s a pretty clear election ploy — PolitiTweet.org

Trump announces he’s sending medicare beneficiaries a $200 card to pay for prescription drugs. So, I guess, the deal with Pharma is back on? — PolitiTweet.org

Starting to think the Barr DoJ’s proclamations may need to be verified before taken at face value. — PolitiTweet.org

DOJ has revised its release about issues with mail in ballots in Luzerne County. No longer is it saying all 9 were cast for Trump. Now it says 7 were and the other 2 are unknown https://t.co/eiVvWeEgiE — PolitiTweet.org

Also notable: They also had this queued up at the WH briefing and WH press folks were the first to blast it out. — PolitiTweet.org

In other words, the big health care plan that Trump has been saying is two weeks away for several months now is a statement of poll tested priorities that either are current law that he’s trying to erase or toothless unless done through legislation. — PolitiTweet.org

Azar tried desperately not to concede that Trump’s EO was basically symbolic. But he did concede that if SCOTUS strikes down Obamacare they would have to "work with Congress.” He called current protections insufficient anyways because of premium costs. — PolitiTweet.org

Sam Stein @samstein

On call just now HHS Sec Azar makes clear Trump’s forthcoming executive order on preexisting conditions will not carry weight of actual law should SCOTUS strike down the ACA. Said it is a "defined statement of U.S. policy that people with preexisting conditions are protected." — PolitiTweet.org

@neeratanden @ryangrim @StanGreenberg That’s true. I’ve seen that data as well. Honestly, I don’t think it’s easy or possible to come to a firm conclusion here. Lots of variables that could move voters in different ways — PolitiTweet.org

Sam Stein @samstein

@4everNeverTrump @neeratanden @ryangrim This is true. But there are plenty of people I’ve talked to in Dem politics and polling who are indeed worried that folks will say: he’s gonna rig it anyways, what’s the point. That’s not data, obviously. But I wouldn’t discount it entirely. — PolitiTweet.org

Sam Stein @samstein

@neeratanden @ryangrim At the risk of blowing the piece I was working on. There was important data early on in the Trump presidency that showed AA men were not motivated by Trump’s election but deflated and unlikelier to vote because of it. Part of the reason: they thought the system was rigged — PolitiTweet.org

Sam Stein @samstein

.@PressSec says Trump will respect the results of a "free and fair election." Then goes into a whataboutism thing pointing to comments from some Democrats. — PolitiTweet.org

Something notable on Democratic facebook messaging. They’re going extremely hard at Mitch McConnell including in Texas, Montana and even Alabama — PolitiTweet.org

@TPCarney Fair — PolitiTweet.org

Sam Stein @samstein

@TPCarney lol. If we’ve said the same thing on substance, I’m confused. Because I don’t see this as an easy question that was messed up or an inability to express himself. I think Trump is expressing himself quite clearly. — PolitiTweet.org

Sam Stein @samstein

@TPCarney I view this as laying the predicate for using the levers of government and law enforcement to stay in office. I think your wording would be far more aghast if, say, Obama made these utterances. — PolitiTweet.org

Sam Stein @samstein

@TPCarney I did. And, again respectfully, I think it's far bigger than an effort to demonize mail-in balloting or him muffing an “easy question.” Earlier he talked about needing more justices to validate his election. He’s now outwardly decline to lose peacefully. — PolitiTweet.org
