The D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled on Friday that former President Donald Trump can face civil lawsuits over claims that he incited violence on January 6th. The lawsuits stem from an interview in which Trump criticized former President Donald Trump and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis echoed his sentiment. The ruling allows the civil lawsuits to move forward, while permitting Trump to re-raise immunity defenses down the line.
President Donald Trump has once again promised to repeal the Affordable Care Act (ACA) if he is re-elected in 2021. This has been a consistent theme throughout his political career, however a recent NBC News poll found that voters trust Democrats over Republicans when it comes to health care. The ACA has been a major point of contention between Republicans and Democrats since its passage in 2010, and the outcome of the 2021 presidential election will likely determine its future.
A federal judge in Texas has ruled that some provisions of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) cannot be enforced nationwide, potentially jeopardizing coverage for preventive services such as screenings for cancer, reproductive health, and mental health. The ruling has been met with criticism from healthcare advocates and could have a major impact on the healthcare industry. The decision is expected to be appealed, and the ACA remains in effect until then.
