A provision added to the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) would remove medically necessary healthcare coverage from military family members under 18 through Tricare.
Jesus. Time to see if the Democrats are going to start rolling over. Nothing more patriotic than doing everything in your power to drive the children of active duty servicemembers to suicide, eh?
I think it's time we stop using words like "wedge issue" and "distraction" and start being direct. No matter how in the minority they are, the Christian Nationalist wing of the Republican party are building a systematic trans genocide. ALL our politicians need to decide if they want to be on the right or wrong side of that history. It's not a "wedge" or a "distraction" to that base, it is THE main focus. We are their first-line, if they can remove us from society they can remove anybody, and so they are testing their power out on us. It is up to EVERYONE to fight back. Everyone.
We need a bill that bans bigots in congress. I know it will never happen as long as they control congress. Taking life-saving medical care away from kids is just plain criminal. Or should be. Kids should not be political pawns.
I’m just waiting for them to attack another group next. Maybe kids with Autism? Diabetic kids? You KNOW they will keep on so they can have someone to anger their base! What miserable people these Republicans.
In Hungary, their comrades are already attacking kids with autism, saying it is not existent and no care is needed. Autistic children are only behaving badly according to them. It is the Orbán/MCC bunch and their "experts". So yes, there definitively will be next groups for them to target. We see it with this international anti-science movement.
This is sneaking shit in the same way that the bathroom ban in Ohio was stuck to a pupil credit bill. What is wrong with these people what crazed Christianity are they taking? It worries me that this anti trans fanaticism is taking root in the UK without the religious aspect, the world is just so wrong
So that's two Republican strategies in what, a fortnight to sabotage the US armed forces? First discard a contingent of experienced, trained service personnel then demoralise some of those remaining by betraying their families?
Perhaps the People’s Liberation Army should all go on leave while the Republicans gut the US military for them.
Purging the military of anyone who might empathize with, or belong to, a group of people which has been targeted by The Party for elimination... nope, 𝘯𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 concerning about 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 at all!
In order to control my emotions. (ANGER) I have to give myself a plan of action. Communicating with those that represent me to vote no. Do not become an ally to the haters. I will try to get the message out to friends and Queer Ally.
Erin I use CHAMPVA for my family it’s similar to tricare but for 100% permanently disabled veterans who didn’t retire but were injured. My children get covered under CHAMPVA and do you know if we will be affected as well. Usually the two go together so I typically assume they do.

Just called my rep to tell them to vote no!
I truly appreciate you for taking action.

Can confirm - morale is rock bottom.
Our nation is falling apart. These MAGAs are so ignorant, damaging, & hurtful.
Here’s an easy like to call your House member to say No. https://default.salsalabs.org/T6529e98a-dbaf-4068-bcb2-837429723f64/2addcfcf-213b-4d3c-9f4e-a2a7c542f327

We all need to call our Reps.

Seriously? 0.1% of a small part of the overall budget, and this is their main concern? The point is cruelty; it always is with these people.
