I was a college graduate, married, and a public school teacher before I could finally get my own credit card.
I remember when women couldn't have credit cards, before 1974. This is why education is important. All must remember... none of this is ancient history.

For years, crisis pregnancy centers have been at the forefront of the anti-abortion movement’s agenda to target women navigating unplanned pregnancies.
Now, the state's reproductive rights advocates are flipping the script and have opened Arkansas's first pro-choice "crisis pregnancy center.”

Home and community-based services are less expensive than nursing homes, and we know most seniors & individuals with disabilities prefer to get care in the comfort of their homes, where they can maintain independence. I filed an amendment to ensure HCBS isn't cut in this bill.

It's weird to me that so many of my neighbors voted to take away their own healthcare to give me a tax cut. They need their health care. I don't need a tax cut. Neither does anyone who makes more than me, either.
