To all those voters who put Donald Trump in office thinking he didn't really mean it when he said he'd end Obamacare, he meant it. He wants to get rid of your health insurance. Among his first actions in office was signing an executive order giving "instructions for the federal government to dismantle the Affordable Care Act to the maximum extent permitted by law.'" That doesn’t repeal the law—he can’t do that unilaterally.

It started off with the long awaited Gag Order Hearing where Trump's lawyer, Todd Blanche, got the legal equivalent of a tongue lashing that surely left bruises. A bit of the highlights, from both sides: Out of the gate. "Defendant has violated this order repeatedly and hasn't stopped," prosecutor says, adding that Trump even did it on Monday in the halls of the courtroom. — Kaelan Deese (@KaelanDC) April 23, 2024 Lots of back and forth about posts and statements, but the prosecutors make it clear that they have Trump's number.
