One of Robert Redford’s most indelible on-screen roles was Bob Woodward in the 1976 film “All the President’s Men.” After Redford's death on Tuesday, Woodward remembered him as a “genuine, a noble and principled force for good who fought successfully to find and communicate the truth.”

Right now, Republicans in Congress are trying to push through a bill that would put millions of Americans at risk of losing their health care.
They want to cut federal funding for Medicaid, take away tax credits that help more people afford coverage, and raise costs for working class families.
