of them — and not repeatedly insult segments of the electorate. That is what America had with President Obama. Even if you may not have agreed with him on much, he was a role model for all Americans as a husband and father and will always represent the very best of America. "You have done enough. Have you no sense of decency?" These are the immortal words of Army lawyer Joseph Welch to Sen. Joseph McCarty during the communist witch-hunt of the 1950s. It's too bad they are just as apt today. Sadly, at the core, this is the president. WI

Throughout the campaign, favoritism was always shown towards him. Other candidates were usually required to appear in studio for interviews. Candidate Trump, though, only had to call in because he was always a ratings draw. Often dismissed as nothing more than entertainment or a bad joke, including by many in the media, Trump now has his hand on the nuclear trigger. I want my president to be better than me. I want to look up to him or her, regardless of political persuasion. The president should be one who even detractors can still
point to and say to their children, "I do not agree with the president on much, but he is a good role model for you." I expect the president to be thick-skinned and not take every criticism personally and respond. I also want my president to stand up to President Vladimir Putin with the same disdain that he does a female cable news anchor. President Ronald Reagan always carried himself with class and dignity, despite an often-hurtful domestic agenda, especially towards minorities. The American president must always be presidential and about the business of promoting America and her people — all

to deal with his natural allies in the states. 45's tweets are simply the tip of the iceberg. They illustrate a lack of decency that is worse that the incivility of name-calling. The indecency and incivility in this administration is as much about flawed and inhumane public policy as juvenile name-calling. In criticizing 45's decency, let's keep our eyes on the prize. Our president is not just a clueless buffoon, he is a dangerous and clueless buffoon. We should focus on the danger more than the cluelessness. WI

er, have attracted the ire of the big-money alt-Trump regime, those deep-pocketed PAC funders who have attempted to bully Heller into supporting Trumpcare. Indeed, those Republicans who have bucked the 45 machine have found themselves unfairly attacked. Attacks on Republicans like Heller and Collins are ways to intimidate others into silence. While 45 is tweeting insanity, immigrants who are honorably discharged veterans are being deported. They joined the Armed
Services and served our country, both because they are patriots, but also because they were promised citizenship in return for their service. Is there no decency? While 45 is doing his best imitation of a schoolyard bully, school administrators from both red and blue states are looking at the ways Trumpcare would affect poor children and pushing back on the horrible legislation. Both Democratic and Republican governors are appalled at the ways Medicaid cuts will hurt their constituents, but 45 is too busy tweeting on posturing

home to their districts for their July 4th recess it's up to us to fulfill our democratic duty and make sure our voices are heard and make sure our senators fulfill their democratic duty to protect all their constituencies and not just those who make campaign contributions to them or their political party. Here are five of the many ways the Senate's misleadingly and wrongly named "Better Care Reconciliation Act" (BCRA), more appropriately named the "Worse Care Reconciliation Act," harms children, offers worse care and makes us question the moral judgment of our Senate leaders: * Ends Medicaid as we know it, jeopardizing the health of 40 percent of America's children. Medicaid currently ensures comprehensive, affordable health coverage for 37 million low-income and disabled children, including 40 percent of all children with special health care needs, and covers more than 40 percent of all births. Who is going to meet this huge need if Medicaid crumbles? The BCRA would fundamentally restructure Medicaid, cap federal funds to states and end our nation's half century long commitment to guarantee health coverage for the most vulnerable, placing tens of millions of
children and other vulnerable populations — those with disabilities and the elderly — at great risk. It is astonishing to me that the Senate majority leader would vote to see the number of uninsured children and non-elderly adults in Kentucky rise by more than half a million in 2022 — a 231 percent increase, the third highest increase in the nation, according to an Urban Institute analysis. And that number does not include the elderly being cared for at home or in nursing homes whose health needs will be undermined. * Slashes $772 billion in Medicaid to give tax cuts to wealthy individuals and powerful corporations, placing the interests of those who need help the most below those who need no government assistance. The 400 highest income taxpayers alone would receive tax cuts worth about $33 billion over ten years. Millionaires would get tax cuts exceeding $50,000 a year. The Senate bill would cut $100 billion in taxes for drug companies and health insurers. The Senate should keep the tax increases originally included in the ACA to pay for expanded health care for children and adults, and take tax cuts and cuts to Medicaid — the popular, efficient safety net program that is a lifeline for tens of millions — off the dismantling and slashing table entirely.

* Makes at least 22 million more Americans uninsured, 15 million from Medicaid alone. The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office (CBO) estimates 15 million people would become uninsured in 2018 and a total of 22 million people would be added to the ranks of the uninsured by 2026. The CBO concludes this bill alone would result in a 26 percent reduction in Medicaid funding over ten years and grow to a 35 percent reduction by the end of the next 10 years as the cap on funding tightens. * Severely restricts Medicaid dollars that now help disabled children and adults remain at home, in communities and out of institutions and help schools and child protection agencies better meet children's needs. I assume every senator would want his or her own child or disabled family member to live at home rather than in a hospital or institution, and would want a guarantee that they would get the care they need in school, and if they need foster care could get services to help reunify their family as quickly as possible. Instead, this cruel and unjust bill offers other people's children and adults with disabilities worse rather than better care. As states' fiscal pressures grow
