    Last week, Trump cut back on our military exercises with South Korea to cozy up to North Korea. This week, he’s canceling more drills because his war of choice with Iran is straining our military. Weakening our readiness and undermining our allies doesn’t make America safer.

    Trump slashed Medicaid and the ACA while ramping up a forever war that costs billions and claims the lives of our servicemembers.     Under his leadership, there’s no money for health care, but there are endless funds for a devastating forever war.
