California is fighting back against the GOP’s attempt to defund Planned Parenthood health clinics by providing $140M+ to life-saving centers.

I refuse to let Donald Trump & right-wing extremists in Congress destroy Californians’ reproductive freedoms & health care access.

The grotesque metaphor of Trump tearing apart the figurative seat of American democracy

The horrifyingly haphazard manner in which he had the East Wing demolished, with no respect shown to history or the historic structure, is the poisonous icing on a rotting cake.

On Nov. 1, millions of Americans will log-in to the ACA marketplace to enroll in, change, or renew their health insurance. What they'll see is an astronomical rise in their premium costs.

Time is running out to lower costs and address the immediate healthcare crisis we face.

It’s not just the facade: Team Trump has wrecked much of the White House’s East Wing

By Tuesday afternoon, it appeared obvious that a significant portion of the East Wing has been demolished, the president's earlier vows notwithstanding.

Trump has decimated funding for Medicaid, SNAP, and crucial agencies like FEMA and the CFPB.

Now, he's demanding his cronies at DOJ give him a ludicrous $230M in taxpayer funds as "compensation" for past investigations.

He's picking your pockets to line his own.

He talked about how tough things are for the people in Argentina and how hard they’re fighting for their economic survival.

Look around America. Look at all the farmers sitting on soybeans they’ve got no buyer for now.
