Today Republicans will publicly flood social media with sanctimonious tributes to our veterans while quietly dishonoring them through their inaction on ACA subsidies, which, if not renewed, will result in more than a quarter million veterans losing their healthcare. No surprise though… 1/2
As many as 267,000 U.S. veterans will lose their healthcare because Congress has failed to extend the health care tax credit, which expires soon.

Democrats need to call Republicans what they are: un-American. Every Republican going along with Trump’s destruction wears that label, and it’s time to make them own it. Watch LP’s Stuart Stevens on MSNBC:

"The biggest takeaway from all this is that Donald Trump learns another lesson in the virtues of brazening it out. He is willing to shoot the hostage, and the Democrats are not. This ultimately strengthens his negotiating hand."
