Today would have marked 52 years of Roe as the law of the land. But Donald Trump packed the Supreme Court with anti-abortion extremists to get it overturned. This week, he cut off access to reproductiverights.gov. We must keep fighting for women’s rights.

Donald Trump rescinded Biden's action to lower prescription drug costs for Americans on Medicare and Medicaid. There's no other way to spin it. That means more money out-of-pocket for seniors and families. Big Pharma first. Ordinary people last.
