THREAD: A short primer on all the ways the #GrahamCassidyBill is an intellectual and moral garbage truck fire.
1/ #GrahamCassidy eliminates protections for people who are or ever have been sick. GONE. Insurers back to denying coverage for the sick.

THREAD: 1/ In response to Trump’s incoherent rant at the UN, Democrats need to rally around a progressive foreign policy that transforms our national security toolkit to meet the new global threats. Some elements:
2/ End our reliance on our military to solve inherently political problems overseas. We keep sending troops to the Middle East and wonder why thugs getting worse. Military restraint IS a policy.
3/ Massively scale up on non-military tools. For instance, new programs to fight Russian and extremist propaganda; robust energy independence fund for our allies; huge anti-corruption partnerships with developing democracies.

1/ The Trump Administration formally endorsed the U.S. backed bombing of civilians inside Yemen today. You need to start raising your voice on this - now. If you need a quick primer why, read this THREAD
2/ When the Houthis overtook the Saudi-backed government in Yemen, Saudis, with the UAE, launched a counter-offensive. A brutal civil war erupted, and Al Qaeda and ISIS took advantage, taking control of huge amounts of Yemeni territory, growing stronger than ever.
3/ Iran came to the Houthis aid, and Obama pledged support to Saudis in the growing proxy war. But Obama grew concerned that the Saudis were bombing too many civilian targets, and started to pull U.S. back from the coalition.

THREAD: 1/ I know there's a lot coming at you right now, but please please please pay attention to a pivotal moment in Yemen, the world's worst humanitarian disaster (1m cases of cholera - CHOLERA), caused largely by a U.S. funded nonsensical bombing campaign.
2/ Saudis/UAE launched attack on Hudaydah, the humanitarian port in Yemen. Long siege of this port could make existing famine look like child's play. U.S. is still helping with assault, despite universal opposition from humanitarian groups.
3/ U.S. told Saudis/UAE is would be difficult, they didn't listen. Now they are bogged down, and seeking a pause/way out. Houthis (who don't have clean hands in this war) are willing to have UN come in an administer the port.

Disturbing #WhereAreTheChildren update.

Earlier today, HHS denied me @SenBlumenthal @RepJoeCourtney the ability to visit a child separated from their family who is being housed w a non-profit in our state.

The perverse secrecy of child separation should concern us all.
HHS’s excuse was that we need to give 14 days notice. What?? 14 days of forced separation from your parent can traumatize a kid for life. And we aren’t asking to see nuclear codes - we just wanted 10 min to make sure the child is ok.
The lack of transparency from the Administration, and the lack of giving a crap from Republicans in Congress, is so deeply disturbing. These are little children - and their lives are being changed forever by this unspeakable trauma.

1/ Short THREAD on the impressive chutzpah it took for the Saudis to send out this tweet. Let me tell you the short real story about how a Doctors Without Borders facility was bombed by the Saudi/U.S. coalition this week.
2/ Doctors Without Borders (MSF) have been building a new cholera treatment facility in a compound in Yemen used by the Red Crescent and MSF. Saudis watched the construction, could have raised questions to MSF about the building.
3/ MSF shared the coordinates of this building with the Saudis 12 TIMES since April. Saudis acknowledged receipt of coordinates 9 TIMES. Simply not true that the coalition didn't know about the cholera facility.

1/ Trump wants supporters of diplomacy, like me, to get caught in a trap where we can't criticize Singapore. I call BS. Trump isn't Obama. North Korea isn't Iran. And the context of the G7 disaster matters.
2/ The syrupy photo op with Kim, on the heels of the brutal treatment of our closest allies at the G7, is an international relations disaster. I'm fine with POTUS talking to our enemies, but not right after you savaged your friends.
3/ The message of last 72 hours is clear: if you're a historic U.S. ally, you get humiliated. If you've been a bad actor, you get rewarded, even if you show no meaningful sign of reform. That sends a chill down the spine of any nation asked to help the U.S. in the future.
