Republicans' budget plan is a shame & a sham.

How is it efficient to make people sicker, hungrier, poorer & more vulnerable?

How is it efficient to buy more toy rockets for Trump’s billionaire friends while parents can’t afford groceries?

I'm voting NO.

Once again we have ignorant, uninformed men — who think they know better than doctors & mothers — taking to the House floor to deny us our medical care.

This time with a bill that criminalizes our doctors & robs mothers of the chance to hold a baby w/ a fatal diagnosis.

Trump just revoked the Equal Employment Opportunity executive order of 1965, rolling back 60 years of progress on civil rights.

The order had prohibited employment discrimination in federal hiring based on race, religion, and gender.
