FED IS BEST. The “breast is best” message is so fucking toxic and I hate it so damn much. There are no societal supports for women who want to breastfeed, so this is irresponsible AT BEST.

Some members of Congress are trying to use Affordable Care Act tax credits as leverage to restrict abortion access.
I'm urging Congress to reject this dangerous agenda because health care decisions belong to patients and their doctors.

If you're in the White House press corps, still showing up to your job every day and not saying anything as Trump attacks your colleagues -- almost always women, I'd add -- then this is on you as well.

The Trump Plan will give Americans the opportunity to pay for their healthcare. One problem has yet to be solved: The healthcare will be unaffordable.
Q: What is the Republican healthcare plan?
TRUMP: If the Democrats go along with it -- which they don't want to -- I want the money to be paid to the people to go out and buy their own healthcare.
