Republicans’ refusal to fix Pres. Trump’s health care crisis means thousands of RIers are at risk of losing health insurance & thousands more will pay double for the same plan they have now.

The President shouldn’t need a court order just to follow the law or do the right thing.
Now, Trump’s half-baked approach to only provide partial SNAP funding hurts the whole country and underscores Trump’s gross mismanagement.

The U.S. would gain very little from such testing & stands to sacrifice decades of hard-won progress in preventing nuclear proliferation.

Trump Admin has the funds & authority needed to extend SNAP. But it’s choosing to suspend benefits. Is it because of:
A) Weakness
B) POTUS left the country for a week & staff uncertainty
C) Trump thinks SNAP recipients are lazy & wants to punish them
