Amen. With everything happening in our state, Dick Durbin should have been fighting for a helluva lot more than just ACA subsidies.
Instead he betrayed his constituents, his party, our state and our democracy.
His unwillingness to fight makes him unfit to serve.

Tens of millions will lose their healthcare. Trump will be emboldened.
This is exactly what’s wrong with Democratic Party leadership and why we need more people in Congress who will actually hold the line.
