"President Donald Trump’s Justice Department is defending the Affordable Care Act before the Supreme Court...But a win for the federal government in the current case, concerning the law’s mandates that certain preventive services are covered cost-free, could boost the power that Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F.

No, Mr. President — Sexual Violence Isn’t an Immigration Issue

"When I read President Trump’s proclamation for Sexual Assault Awareness Month, my jaw dropped. On one hand, after he failed to recognize Teen Dating Violence Awareness Month in February, it was positive to see any recognition at all.
