Trump Builder sets the attack plan for 2020 – Live Updates | American News

The US Supreme Court rejected an argument presented by Justice Brett Kavanaugh while he was a judge at the Court of Appeal. This from the Associated Press:

Court decision 6-2 on Wednesday confirmed a court of appeals decision against financial banker Francis Lorenzo over false and misleading statements that Lorenzo e-mailed to potential investors in a company. The emails described the company as a $ 10 million asset while Lorenzo knew the actual figure was $ 400,000.

Kavanaugh was dissenting from the decision of the appeal. He did not take part in the high court.

Judge Stephen Breyer's majority opinion rejected Lorenzo's argument that he was not violating the Securities and Exchange Commission's anti-fraud regulation because he had simply sent the emails to the management of his boss, who had provided the contents of the messages.

Also today, US representative Steve King of Iowa fights for his political life after his death. long story of racist comments have attracted criticism.

Just last week, King told a city hall that the victims of Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans, mostly black, were only asking for help, while the Iowans were "taking care of everyone ".

King said, "This is what Fema is telling me. We go to a place like New Orleans, and everyone looks around saying, "Who will help me? Who will help me?

As a reminder, health care was the first problem in the mid-term elections – over the economy or immigration – who had a lot more air time.

It's no wonder why. In a recent example, pharmaceutical companies began producing a "generic" version of insulin, a drug used by diabetics to control their blood sugar levels. The discount price for Americans? $ 137. But the Germans only pay $ 55.

In two short sentences, the Trump administration has crystallized its position that the health care coverage of nearly 20 million people, as well as the protections of tens of millions of people with pre-existing diseases, should be annihilated ", said Senate Chief, Minorities, Chuck Schumer. floor Tuesday morning.

Health care is also a problem that Democrats see as a winner. The day after the publication of the Mueller Report Summary, US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi unveiled legislation to: strengthen Obamacarejust as Trump sought to demolish it.

As Democrats try to unite following the Mueller Report's summary, health care turns out to be a priority issue. The Trump Justice Department supports the idea that the entire law is unconstitutional, which could end the coverage of 21 million people.

As student activists in the March for Our Lives seek to break the GOP's resistance to gun laws, the National Rifle Association will issue a key vote against the Violence Against Women Act.

The group opposes legislation because it could confiscate firearms from those convicted of domestic violence and criminal harassment. Here's an explanation of the group's opposition, NRA spokesperson Jennifer Baker, via the National Journal:

The NRA opposes domestic violence and all violent crime and spends millions of dollars to teach countless Americans not to be a victim and to use firearms safely to defend themselves Baker said. "It is unfortunate that some members of the gun control community treat domestic violence so trivially that they are ready to use it to advance a political agenda."

They are asking new questions about a Federal Aviation Administration practice that allows aircraft manufacturers to certify the safety of their own aircraft.

Hello and welcome to the live coverage by the Guardian of American politics.

•Donald Trump has wind in his back after not being founded for collaborating with a foreign opponent. It was far from a total exemption, of course, but that did not stop Trump from declaring Mueller's report "total exemption". His campaign of re-election is also supported and plans to "ensure that the proposed candidates are radioactive well before being named," said Axios, a campaign leader, probably in the figurative sense of the term. The people of Trump filmed Democratic candidates hoping to make a mistake.

•The challenge for Democrats is to stay united. But Trump may have helped them with his new attempt to scrap the Affordable Care Act. On Tuesday, the Justice Ministry argued that Obamacare should be rejected, as well as its provision protecting people with pre-existing illnesses and stipulating that people under 26 years old can stay on their parents' diets. According to Politico, "two key secretaries of the cabinet" opposed this initiative: the Secretary of Health and Social Services, Alex Azar, and the Attorney General, Bill Barr.

•The former vice president and potential future president, Joe Biden, is apologetic for his role at the 1991 Supreme Court confirmation hearings at Clarence Thomas last night. "I would have liked to be able to do something," said Biden about the hearings, which undermined the credibility of Anita Hill – a woman who claimed that Thomas had sexually harassed her . Biden was chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee at the time, and many pointed out that in that role he probably could have done something.
