https://t.co/vukmhBMkkk is not letting people login to enroll. This is the second outage, the first lasted 15 minutes. We're 8 minutes into the second. Last time this happened, 100k people could not enroll. @CMSGov must extend the deadline.

Great news folks: we hit record-high health care enrollment. 31 million people now have coverage through the Affordable Care Act. Couldn’t think of a better person to celebrate this milestone with than President Obama, so I gave him a call.
What if I told you there was a single intervention we could deliver in our cities that would cool them during heatwaves, reduce flooding, scrub pollutants from the air, boost biodiversity, improve public health, and even reduce crime? You wouldn't believe me. But it's true.
NEW: Finding a vaccine just got very very easy.
Know someone who wants to find a vaccine?
Text your zip code to 438829 (getvax). And see what happens...
Doctors know how well vaccines work, which is why just about all of them got vaccinated the moment they could—and it's also why we should make vaccines widely available in doctors' offices. People trust their doctors.
Per @CBSNews poll, the majority of Trump voters, Republicans, and self-described conservatives say they have **already been or will get vaccinated**.
We really should stop stigmatizing large categories of people when it comes to “vaccine hesitancy.” We’re all in this together.
Today, a jury did the right thing. But true justice requires much more. Michelle and I send our prayers to the Floyd family, and we stand with all those who are committed to guaranteeing every American the full measure of justice that George and so many others have been denied.
Quick thread: the Biden Administration just announced @GayleSmith as Coordinator for Global #COVID19 Response. This is big news—both because creating this position shows @POTUS belief that America will not recover 'til the world does, and because Gayle is perfect for the role.
Vaccines can't give you Covid, because they don't contain any live virus that causes Covid. They're messengers that teach your immune how to kill the virus, then disappear.
Starting today and running through May 15, 2021, we are opening https://t.co/cJThOY6iDZ for all Americans to have the opportunity to sign up for health insurance. If you already have coverage, then help your family and friends sign up and enroll.
Health care is a right — and I will do everything in my power to ensure that all Americans have access to quality, affordable care. Starting today, we’re opening a special enrollment period for health insurance. Head to https://t.co/gRX1fGFEzj to get covered.
I’m relieved to have received my 2nd dose of the covid vaccination, and feeling fine.
I encourage everyone to get yours as soon as you have the opportunity ❤️
The more time I spend in DC at the start of this Administration, the more I see what the career civil servants were forced to endure these last 4 years.
The quiet heroism to keep doing their jobs for the public under any circumstance is what sets them apart.
Some news: I’ve joined the Office of Management and Budget as Executive Associate Director
So excited to be returning to OMB and looking forward to tackling big problems w/an amazing team!
