Trump is adding more fear and confusion in states with draconian abortion bans. He’s not listening to women like Kyleigh, who lost part of her reproductive system after being turned away from an emergency room during an ectopic pregnancy.

Pennsylvanians are coming out in force to protest the GOP's Medicaid-cutting bill that could see 42,000 (!!) health care workers lose their jobs across the commonwealth. Republicans like Scott Perry (#PA10), Rob Bresnahan (#PA08), and Ryan Mackenzie (#PA07) better take note.
