Today, the Supreme Court upheld the Affordable Care Act. Again. This ruling reaffirms what we have long known to be true: the Affordable Care Act is here to stay.
The principle of universal coverage has been established, and 31 million people now have access to care through the law we passed—with millions more who can no longer be denied coverage or charged more because of a preexisting condition.
Now we need to build on the Affordable Care Act and continue to strengthen and expand it. That’s what @POTUS Biden has done through the American Rescue Plan, giving more families the peace of mind they deserve.

Emancipation Proclamation 1863…..Juneteenth 1865….end of Reconstruction 1877…via the compromise
More History to know that brought us to the place we are at today…
The Compromise of 1877 was an unwritten deal, informally arranged among United States Congressmen, that settled the intensely disputed 1876 presidential election. It resulted in the United States federal government pulling the last troops out of the South, and ending the Reconstruction Era. Through the Compromise, Republican Rutherford B. Hayes was awarded the White House over Democrat Samuel J. Tilden on the understanding that Hayes would remove the federal troops whose support was essential for the survival of Republican state governments in South Carolina, Florida and Louisiana. Hayes received 185 electoral votes to Tilden’s 184 electoral votes. Despite losing the election, Tilden won the popular vote with 4,301,000 votes to 4,036,000 votes for Hayes.[1]
Under the compromise, Democrats who controlled the House of Representatives allowed the decision of the Electoral Commission to take effect.
The outgoing president, Republican Ulysses S. Grant, removed the soldiers from Florida, and as president, Hayes removed the remaining troops from South Carolina and Louisiana. As soon as the troops left, many white Republicans also left, and the “Redeemer” Democrats, who already dominated other state governments in the South, took control. The exact terms of the agreement are somewhat contested as the documentation is insufficient.[2]
Black Republicans felt betrayed as they lost power, being subject to domestic terrorism to suppress their voting, and by 1905, virtually all black men were effectively disenfranchised by state legislatures in every Southern state.[3]
More History to know that brought us to the place we are at today….
you have to wonder what would have happened if Reconstruction had not been aborted…If JimCrow and Segregtion had not happened….if there had been reign of terror on black people
If the Confederates were treated like the traitors they were…
Juneteenth is a cherished holiday celebrated in African American communities nationwide to commemorate the announcement of the end of slavery in Texas in 1865, two years after the signing of the Emancipation Proclamation. https://t.co/03f2wvfM1q

Today, #Juneteenth stands as a reminder of the role everyday people have always played in realizing American democracy. It’s a moment to celebrate, and an example of what we can accomplish when we work together to bridge the gap between our highest ideals and the world as it is.

If the GOP retakes the House in 2022, they can make Trump speaker whether he's a member of Congress or not. McCarthy confirming Trump wants this should be a powerful rallying cry for Dems to begin registering voters & preparing them to outsmart GOP voter suppression efforts. https://t.co/sYCZjZOUfw
That's a no brainer. Inside HR1 is language that requires all presidential candidates to release 10yrs of tax returns. Eliminate the filibuster and pass more restrictions on who can run and or be appointed to public office.

MBK reflections on fatherhood with President Obama. ❤️
Showing #FathersDay love to all the father figures who show up for our boys and young men—and our young people who have become fathers themselves, like @YG_Chicago alum James and Lazarus.
My dad, a Navy Signalman in World War II, was my first hero. If I close my eyes, I can still hear his encouraging voice saying, “Good for you, Jilly-bean!” I miss him every day, especially on Father’s Day. My heart is with those who are also missing their dads today. 1/2 pic.twitter.com/LnftgIcKoz

When I flew in May I was reminded of how docilely Americans responded to that security theater but won’t wear a mask because MAH RIGHTS and then I got a migraine.
Every airport right now has a thousand people a day that refuse to wear their masks correctly but will take off their shoes and belt and let TSA x-ray their whole body.
Republican states are expanding their power over elections:
In Georgia, Republicans are removing Democrats of color from local boards. In Arkansas, they've stripped election control from county authorities. And they're expanding their authority elsewhere.https://t.co/wRIY1VTK6g
I’m really proud of young men like James and Lazarus who, despite the obstacles they have faced, are raising their daughters with tremendous love and care. To all the dads out there—Happy Father’s Day. https://t.co/MUGTp3s6xi
Happy #FathersDay to all the dads out there—especially the one and only @BarackObama! Our daughters couldn’t have asked for a better role model. We’re so lucky to have you in our lives. 💗 pic.twitter.com/SoyOA2ujpa
