The latest edition of the newsletter breaks down the action on the budget and how the $5,500 payout is already being pit against K-12 education and other services, like food stamps for seniors.

Section 25 of Article I: "Marriage may exist only between one man and one woman."

Can we stop the myth that abortion is universally traumatizing? I had abortion. The only traumatic thing about it was dealing with protestors outside Planned Parenthood. I have no regrets. I needed no therapy. Residency & med school were far more traumatic than my abortion.

I'm currently reading the biography of Allen Dulles (book by David Talbot), the longest-serving Director of the CIA to date.
His entire career would make any decent person squirm but the episode when he engineered the 1953 coup in Iran is particularly disgraceful.
