The ACA tax credits that help millions of Americans afford health care are going to expire at the end of the month.
Every House Democrat has signed the petition to extend the credits for 3 more years – but not a single Republican.

The ACA tax credits don't just help families afford the coverage they need. They help small businesses keep their employees covered while keeping costs down. Letting these credits expire will have disastrous effects on our economy. www.smallbusinessforamericasfuture.org/protect-main...

Anyone else want to put Tom Cotton on top of a capsized boat in international waters miles away from Venezuela and see how helpless he is?
WELKER: Lawmakers say the 2 men appeared to raise their arms potentially to surrender. Why did Admiral Bradley interpret these actions as anything other than them trying to survive?
