Weekly Check In December 16

[tanaqui]

This past week has been very quiet, as everything winds down for the end of year holidays. You may have seen that a federal judge in Texas said on Friday that the Affordable Care Act's individual coverage mandate is unconstitutional and that the rest of the law therefore cannot stand. However, this twitter thread explains why you shouldn't worry too much (just yet, at least).

Meanwhile, rydra_wong has posted some great news about the fundraiser to honor Dr Blasey.

We still have some ongoing actions if you have time and energy in this coming week.

Protecting the Mueller investigation
