NEW: My staff has confirmed reports that Medicaid portals are down in all 50 states following last night's federal funding freeze. This is a blatant attempt to rip away health care from millions of Americans overnight and will get people killed.

These women didn’t sit down, stay quiet, or ask for permission—they broke the rules and changed the world. Role models.

We should add Bishop Mariann Budde to the list.

BREAKING: We’re suing the Trump administration to block the president’s attempt to end birthright citizenship.

An executive order does not have the power to override the Constitution.

A last night, a man in Dallas, OR used his truck as a weapon to destroy a convenience store, in what the store owner claims is a hate-fueled attack.

A screenshot of a Facebook post. The text reads: Last night, our family-owned store was vandalized in a horrific act of racism. Someone intentionally drove a truck through our storefront, destroying the means of our livelihood and leaving us shaken. This senseless act was motivated by hate and bigotry, simply because of the color of our skin. We are still trying to process the severity of this incident and the impact it will have on our family and community. We urge everyone to stand with us against racism and hate. We will not let this act of violence define us or our community. We will rebuild and come back stronger. Thank you for your support! #NoToRacism #HateHasNoHomeHere the interior of a convenience store. there is a pickup truck in the middle of the photo, with tire marks all over the store. shelves are destroyed and product is on the floor. A few people stand in the background surveying the damage. A closer image of the truck and damaged drink coolers A photo of the interior of the store, showing damaged goods and people observing the damage.

I was just trying to explain to my therapist what girl math is when she threw it back in my face that perhaps that was the reason I had so much debt.
