Trump: "We're not cutting Medicaid."
Also Trump: Signs the largest Medicaid cut in history into law.
There’s no Democratic “wish list.” We just want Trump to keep his promise: repeal the cuts and lower costs.

UPDATE: While it shouldn't have taken this long for the Senate to look into Trump’s egregious abuse of our military, I have secured a hearing to investigate his deployments of troops into our cities—
And I’ll be asking tough questions of the Trump Administration when it happens.
Trump is forcing the military to our cities, intimidating Americans and distracting troops from their core missions.
It's unconstitutional—we can't act like it's business as usual.
I'm blocking the NDAA until we secure a hearing to investigate this gross abuse of our military.
Reposted byTammy Duckworth
Let Me Be Blunt: this isn’t business as usual.
Republicans shut down the government and are refusing to negotiate. They’re even holding committee hearings on everything BUT their shutdown.
This week, I used my time in those hearings to remind them what’s really at stake.
@durbin.senate.gov @merkley.senate.gov @wyden.senate.gov @padilla.senate.gov @schiff.senate.gov
Trump is moving us closer to authoritarianism with each deployment of troops into states.
From Illinois to Oregon to California—
None of our states asked for this, nor need this.
I and every U.S. Senator from these states are demanding Trump to end these deployments ASAP.
I cherished every day I got to call myself a Soldier—but ordering troops to intimidate the very Americans they sacrifice to protect doesn’t make us safer.
Trump is wasting millions to terrorize citizens exercising their First Amendment rights. It's wrong.
In addition to kicking 250,000+ Veterans off their health coverage, don't forget:
Trump fired more Veterans than any other President and is hellbent on firing thousands of VA workers as well.
He doesn't care about Veterans or middle-class families.
He only cares about himself.
This is what dictators and authoritarians do, not Presidents of the United States of America.
Trump: "I will immediately bring prices down, starting on Day One."
Also Trump: Refuses to stop health insurance premiums from bankrupting the middle class
Democrats just want Trump to keep his promises.
Trump keeps saying he needs to send federal agents in to protect Chicago because the Police aren't doing the job.
You know what makes it hard for our city's brave police officers to do their jobs?
Trump's agents throwing tear gas at them.
We have the Insurrection Act for a reason—
But it's not so a President with 34 felonies can ignore court orders and punish cities he doesn't like with military intimidation.
Especially not when the courts are telling him his claims of insurrection are "untethered to the facts."
We have not called for this. We do not need this.
Donald Trump is pitting sovereign states against one another in effort to consolidate his own power at the expense of our constitutional rights—
An egregious abuse of power.
He is pushing us closer to authoritarianism.
Trump is federalizing the National Guard in Illinois against our will—
An affront to American values and an extreme abuse of our military.
He’s terrorizing citizens in attempt to expand his power and punish opponents.
That’s just not who we are.
It’s authoritarian.
An American President is intentionally hurting Americans to score cheap political points.
This is not normal.
With ACA tax credits, a 60-year-old couple making $85,000 pays ~$7,000 for their annual premium.
Without ACA tax credits, the same couple could be forced to pay nearly $30,000.
I know Republicans only speak "billionaire"—but middle-class families can't afford this.
You're right, Donald. We’re not stupid.
When you broke your promise to protect Medicaid by enacting a $1 trillion cut, you sold out hospitals and health coverage for millions.
Democrats just want you to keep your promise.
Repeal the cuts.
Using American cities as "training grounds for our military" isn’t just intrinsically un-American, it's unconstitutional.
More like a tin-pot dictator than a President every day.
Even Donald Trump once said, "a shutdown falls on the President’s lack of leadership."
Well, choosing to shut down rather than save health care is one of the biggest failures in leadership imaginable.
Fact: Undocumented immigrants are not even eligible to purchase the ACA coverage we’re trying to protect.
Republicans voted to hike costs and take health care away from American citizens.
Including their own constituents.
Read that again. Over and over.
