This Is Just Absolutely Devastating for Republicans...

The House GOP is using troops pay as a means to gain leverage to getting the House to take healthcare away from people... everything about this statement runs counter to the idea that you expect a person to ever cast a vote for you again...

Of military pay bill, House Dem Whip Steny Hoyer, D-MD., says "everyone of us in this House is going to vote for this bill."

House is debating paying military personnel. Actually debating that. Maybe just me, but seems like should be a no-brainer. #GOPshutdown
