Vote like your health care is on the ballot — because it is.
Today, President Trump nominated Judge Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court — a jurist with a written track record of disagreeing with the Court’s decision to uphold the Affordable Care Act.

Trump’s hand-picked successor to Justice Ginsburg’s seat makes it clear: they intend to destroy the Affordable Care Act & overturn Roe. This selection would move the court further right for a generation & harm millions of Americans.

I strongly oppose Judge Barrett’s nomination.
It’s in these moments that our shared humanity and belief in our own power to bring about change guides us forward. That’s what I saw on the ground in Flint, Oakland Country, and Detroit earlier this week. pic.twitter.com/mayTcWJwG4

How is the fourth-best punter in NFL history not on an NFL roster?
This is my honest question to the masses. This kid is fourth all time in punting average in his career. He can easily play until he is 40, the kid is jacked up, looks like a WR. Yet, he is not on a roster. He went to XFL, led all punters there too. What else do you want? https://t.co/l18ZFt2VkW
