Indiana columnist Kelly Hawes argues a Facebook post misuses 11 Marines and 1 British Army member killed in Afghanistan in July 2010 to push a political point. He notes Snopes fact checks the list, urges readers to verify current facts before sharing, and critiques how social media amplifies false or outdated deaths to inflame divides.

Texas court ruling against ACA threatens health coverage gains
A Texas federal judge ruled the Affordable Care Act unconstitutional, threatening the entire law and its expansions. Experts say repealing the ACA would end subsidies for low income families, remove Medicaid expansion, and erase protections for preexisting conditions. Supporters note the law opened insurance to millions and expanded benefits, with ongoing court battles under appeal.
