🚨NEW: Democratic Rep. Mikie Sherrill has won the New Jersey Democratic primary. If elected, she would be the first Democratic woman Governor in New Jersey history.
RETWEET to congratulate @MikieSherrill on her historic victory!
I’ve always said that the ACA is like a starter house: it was a big step forward, but still just a first step. There’s no question that we still have work to do to make sure health care is a right and not a privilege in America. Now it’s up to all of us to keep building on and improving the ACA until everyone has access to quality, affordable healthcare.
I know it can feel like a different era sometimes. But fifteen years ago, I signed the Affordable Care Act into law. Now nearly 50 million people have received health care through the ACA.
With everything going on right now, it’s easy to feel like regular folks can’t make a difference – but the Affordable Care Act is a reminder that change is possible when we keep fighting for progress.
Today marks 15 years since the Affordable Care Act was signed into law!
As we celebrate the ACA, I wanted to look back at some moments in its history and tell the story of how it happened.
If you live in Wisconsin – or have friends or family who do – there’s an important Supreme Court race happening right now. And there’s only one candidate ready to protect the fundamental rights and freedoms of Wisconsinites: Judge Susan Crawford.
We’ve all seen how important judges are in protecting our rights, so vote early — don’t wait until April 1st. Find your early vote location: https://t.co/oDaQcyU3QJ
A knock to remember by Nitish. He has impressed me right from the 1st Test and his composure and temperament have been on display right through. Today he took it a notch higher to play a crucial innings in this series. Wonderfully and ably supported by @Sundarwashi5 as well.
Well played!

Ladies and Gentlemen, this is more or less the life of an Indian in USA who came here as a student.
@Crickethrill @BCCI and every kid deserves a fther like Muthyalu Reddy. Muthyalu sacrificed everything without knowing if his sacrifice would have a positive outcome or not.
That to me, is the ultimate father.
Somewhere Kevin McCarthy is laughing out loud. The snake who eats its own head. A very good news for the country, GOP and Democrats though and #GreatJobCNN#KudosToCNN#CNN#MattGaetz@CNN
@jasonllevin Yes, absolutely. Even if it is for just rubbing it in. Time to "Go High, when they go low" is done. Now its time for tit for tat.

Only time @realDonaldTrump won was when he was running against women and the moment he was made to face a man Trump lost.
That fact is a sad reflection on this country where we choose our leaders by genitalia (however small they might be) rather than on competence.
