This is extraordinarily corrupt. But I still think heโ€™s far more malevolent and sociopathic than merely corrupt.

Amber Nicole Thurman and her son at the beach

Since then, over 100 women have been denied emergency abortion care. Amber Nicole Thurman, 28, was one of them. Today, share her story.

Skipped the paperwork. Ignored the court order. Broke the law. Ignored the constitution.

This ainโ€™t immigration policy. This is straight-up defiance of the rule of law.

Letโ€™s be clear. When the President defies the Supreme Court, it is the role of Congress to remove him from office. Full stop.

You have to see this.

PoliticsGirl and her husband teamed up with the brilliant Timothy Snyder (author of On Tyranny) and the legendary John Lithgow to create something truly powerful. Itโ€™s important, itโ€™s urgentโ€”and it needs to be shared far and wide.

BREAKING: The House passed a budget framework that would slash billions in Medicaid funding.

Medicaid is a lifeline for tens of millions of Americans, including people with disabilities, women, seniors, and children. The Senate must reject these dangerous cuts.

Congress: Save Medicaid Now Politicians are attempting to pass devastating cuts to Medicaid right now and we must act fast. Send a message telling your member of Congress to fight back now.

URGENT: The House is set to vote tomorrow on whether to advance $880 billion in cuts to Medicaid โ€” eviscerating essential programs that provide lifesaving services for people with disabilities, children, seniors, and more.

Tell your representative now: Don't cut Medicaid.

I was one of those kids that got fed. They didn't care what color you were or about your income, they just did the right thing and I have never forgotten it. We were too poor to afford breakfast.
