Usually Republicans blame us for playing their dark money game, but omit that THEY won’t clean up the mess. All Ds voted for DISCLOSE; zero Rs. — PolitiTweet.org

Or my Judicial Ads Act with @SenFeinstein, that would require big dark money groups seeking to influence our courts to disclose their donors. Also applies to all sides. — PolitiTweet.org

My DISCLOSE Act, to require public disclosure of the big anonymous donors drowning our politics in dark money. Bill applies to both sides – left and right. Problem solved. — PolitiTweet.org

Suddenly after my presentation, Republicans actually want to talk #DarkMoney! I’m excited. Here are a couple bills to get us started: https://t.co/tcljLmRlJ8 — PolitiTweet.org

.@realDonaldTrump has said that reversing Roe v. Wade will “happen automatically” because he’s putting pro-life justices on the Supreme Court. Why would we not take him at his word? — PolitiTweet.org

Republican Senator after Republican Senator has filed briefs saying that the Affordable Care Act should be thrown out by courts. Why is it surprising for us to be concerned that they want this nominee to do the same? https://t.co/08M5JPtGtN — PolitiTweet.org

That's what happens when you’ve told everybody loudly you’re going to use this appointment to take away ACA health care, and then you do — in the middle of an ongoing pandemic that’s given millions of American survivors a new pre-existing condition. — PolitiTweet.org

When Trump is tweeting out that he wants Republicans to stop the hearings, it’s a pretty good sign of a pretty bad day for them.

Today’s Supreme Court nomination hearing was a charade: big donors may love it, but Americans see what’s going on. They see this ugly, hasty, hypocritical power grab, and they know what it means for their health care in the midst of a pandemic. — PolitiTweet.org

At the end of the day, I hope Republicans consider #WhatsAtStake for the many people who depend on ACA health coverage. Here’s one person to consider: Laura S. from Rhode Island. Without the ACA, Laura will be unable to afford the treatments necessary for her to survive. https://t.co/ASdCeXCWku — PolitiTweet.org

The travel of the ACA case leads to one particular Senator’s doorstep. When Texans lose their ACA health care protections, all it takes is a couple of hops to see whose doorstep that sits on: @JohnCornyn https://t.co/avpLaq41ra — PolitiTweet.org

Look at the calendar. Exactly one week after the election, on November 10, the Court is due to hear California v. Texas, a constitutional challenge to the Affordable Care Act. The ACA survived its last challenge by one vote. https://t.co/MlKIMcMxRs — PolitiTweet.org

America is worried about one thing above all else right now: our health. The irony is that this slapdash hearing targets the Affordable Care Act. This Supreme Court nominee has signaled that she believes the Affordable Care Act must go. #WhatsAtStake https://t.co/D0USuIRTi9 — PolitiTweet.org

Today is Day 1 of the Senate Judiciary hearings on the nomination of Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court. This whole thing is an irresponsible botch because Republicans are desperate to confirm another justice to repeal the ACA, overturn Roe v. Wade, & keep big donors happy. https://t.co/A3UdlBM73z — PolitiTweet.org

If confirmed, Barrett has an obligation to recuse herself from any election-related disputes and she should promise to do just that. My piece in @PostOpinions: https://t.co/F4Y86dkncZ — PolitiTweet.org
