What's happening to Congresswoman McIver is chilling. Rep. McIver dared to do her job and protect her community via an ICE oversight visit. Now, the Trump administration is trying to put her in prison for nearly two decades.

Judges Reject Plea to Toss Federal Charges Against Democratic Lawmaker

An appeals panel ruled against Representative LaMonica McIver, a Democrat accused by the Justice Department of assaulting immigration agents outside Delaney Hall. No one was injured in the clash.

The allegations of domestic violence & child abuse against Rep. Max Miller demand immediate action. This kind of abuse isn't just a private "family matter"—and no amount of shaming or blaming make it less serious. His response to these very serious allegations make clear that he is not fit to serve.

Max Miller, Accused of Abuse, Is Not Stepping Aside. Here’s What We Know.

The Ohio Republican who is seeking a third term defiantly denied domestic abuse allegations ahead of a deadline to replace him on the ballot.

House Republicans just approved a plan for $95 billion in new funding. Instead of investing in what helps women & families - child care, health care, and food - they are pouring funds into the Iran war and Trump-backed proposals to restrict voting in the lead-up to the midterms. We deserve better.

I've been in the room since the Senate Judiciary Committee hearing began this morning, watching Acting AG Blanche dodge questions and spew lies. One thing is clear: if he’s confirmed, he would keep using the DOJ to serve his own interests and protect his friends, not Americans.

BREAKING: The Supreme Court just signed off on allowing states to ban trans girls and women from participating in school sports. Schools with existing inclusive policies are still legally allowed to keep those policies and should maintain those policies.

We're proud to have worked to help these brave women veterans share their stories and highlight how the Trump administration's dystopian VA abortion ban puts pregnant veterans at risk.

Ms. Magazine@msmagazine.com · 6mo ago

Late last year, the Trump administration’s Department of Veterans Affairs reinstated a total ban on abortion care and abortion counseling. Three veterans explain the real-world consequences of that decision:

March Bell, Trump's nominee for Inspector General of Health and Human Services, is an anti-abortion extremist with a long record of abusing government resources. The Senate must vote NO on his confirmation to protect access to reproductive health care—and the integrity of taxpayer dollars.

Trump Tries To Put Controversial Republican In A Nonpartisan Position After Firing Predecessor

Thomas March Bell is likely to be confirmed as inspector general of the Health and Human Services Department despite his long record of going after abortion clinics.

URGENT: Eight Democrat senators just caved to Trump and advanced a measure that would leave 22 million Americans with astronomically high health care premiums. They know that this bill means millions of people will choose to go without health insurance, because they can’t afford it.
