The past few weeks shed some light on a disturbing issue within the White House.

President Trump’s disgraced former national security adviser deserves to be brought to justice. Michael Flynn pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI about his conversations with Russian government officials. Let that sink in. Flynn lied to the United States government because he didn’t want to be forthright about his interactions with a foreign nation. The […]
The President of the United States, leader of the free world, needs to do better than this. President Trump’s administration is in shambles — but what’s worse, the President is not attempting to fix it. He still skirts responsibility and refuses to admit failure.

Plain and simple, President Trump wants to take money out […]

If you recall, Comey was abruptly fired by President Trump while he was investigating the Trump campaign’s possible ties to Russia. With the Comey hearing underway as we […]
Women’s access to health care should not be a political bargaining chip. Republicans in Congress (most of whom are men) should not try to control women’s reproductive decisions. Women have a constitutional right to privacy. But, unfortunately, Republicans refuse to let this go. Their health care plan defunds Planned Parenthood. It could force clinics to […]
