My background is different from most on this platform. I was 30+ year voting & donating Republican. Last three presidential elections, I’ve voted for Democratic candidates because I understood danger of Trump. We may not share all same policy positions, but I’m pro-democracy. I’m not going back!

Step 1. Extend health insurance subsidies
Step 2. Open the government
Step 3. Pay troops on time

It's not rocket science. Trump and the GOP just do not want to do it. So troops likely won't get paid on time - if at all.

REMINDER: It's now 256 days since Trump was sworn in but he has still NOT released the complete Jeffrey Epstein file. What is Trump hiding?!
