Trump’s coterie has followed his example, and the no-apologies ethos has become infectious in these polarized and tribal times. Look at Sarah Sanders -- and the owner of the Virginia restaurant who refused to serve her -- to understand how it's contagious. https://t.co/rhy3NyMGm6 — PolitiTweet.org

Sorry, not sorry. Welcome to the era of no regrets. “I have no regrets about anything,” says Pelosi. “Regrets is not what I do.” “Look, no regrets is a very hard question,” says Acosta. "Under my administration, we will never apologize...," says Trump. https://t.co/rhy3NyMGm6 — PolitiTweet.org

3) The House Oversight Committee will hold a hearing this morning dubbed "The Trump Administration's Attack on the ACA." House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler (D-N.Y.) said he's also planning a hearing on the lawsuit. — PolitiTweet.org

James Hohmann @jameshohmann

2) Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine), who cast a key vote for the tax bill that could be used as a pretext by judicial activists to repeal Obamacare, keeps trying to distance herself from the lawsuit trying to throw out the ACA and put out a statement saying Trump should defend it. — PolitiTweet.org

James Hohmann @jameshohmann

Here are three telling illustrations of how the 5th Circuit could hand Trump a Pyrrhic victory: 1) Despite a decade of efforts to kill Obamacare, Mitch McConnell refused to say yesterday whether he supports the suit to invalidate the law. https://t.co/rlEducYKud — PolitiTweet.org

James Hohmann @jameshohmann

If Trump gets what he’s hoping for in New Orleans, there’s a strong argument to be made that the president will be like the proverbial dog that catches up with the truck. https://t.co/rlEducYKud — PolitiTweet.org

James Hohmann @jameshohmann

2 of the three judges on the panel expressed skepticism during arguments that Obamacare can remain intact. Judge Kurt Engelhardt, whom Trump put on the bench just last year, was the more outspoken of the two. He grilled Democratic lawyers because the DOJ won't defend the law. — PolitiTweet.org

James Hohmann @jameshohmann

But the balance of power is changing on the courts each week to become more favorable to Trump, and it sure sounded like the 5th Circuit might be ready to uphold a district judge’s decision that the entire 2010 health-care law is unconstitutional. https://t.co/ycXg89JCt3 — PolitiTweet.org

James Hohmann @jameshohmann

Separately, an appellate court in New York upheld a lower court’s decision that it is unconstitutional for Trump to block critics on Twitter because he’s a public official who uses the platform to communicate with constituents. https://t.co/Mb4g2yVwhU — PolitiTweet.org

James Hohmann @jameshohmann

For now, Trump continues to suffer legal setbacks. In a case involving his push to add a citizenship question to the 2020 Census, a district court judge rejected the Justice Department’s request to change out its team of lawyers. https://t.co/3UUoFp33k9 — PolitiTweet.org

James Hohmann @jameshohmann

Oral arguments in New Orleans over the future of the ACA foreshadowed the massive impact that President Trump’s free rein to fill the courts with like-minded judges will probably have on American jurisprudence over the next generation. https://t.co/rlEducYKud — PolitiTweet.org
