Republicans just tried to sabotage a normally routine national defense bill -- not by addressing any particular, relevant aspects of the legislation itself, or by offering concrete counter-proposals, but by loading it down with riders to try revoke more rights from all of us and trying to prevent us from living our own lives.

@TonyStark Chip Roy tried to adjourn Congress rather than lose the vote. What kind of member of Congress tries to take their ball and go home? The No One But Us Gets Freedom Caucus.

The #FirstAmendment protects us all, not just Christians.
