Sixteen years before this action, my newlywed mom was student teaching in Yelm, WA, to finish her state teaching certificate. She related that the principal fired her because "We can't have a pregnant home economics teacher." Oh, the rich irony of 1962. I was born just a few months later.

President Trump’s simpering fealty to Vladimir Putin and Russia is embarrassing and dangerous. Illinois stands with Ukraine, and so should the White House.

Get Rep. Joe Townes to speak for the Congressional Democratic Caucus. Right. Now.
🔥 WATCH: “Anybody can violate the law. The Pope, The president, Any sonofabitch can violate the law — how bout that? That’s fascist bullshit. We have one law. Or we have chaos.” Rep. Joe Towns (D-MEMPHIS) let loose about Trump implying the law doesn’t apply to him.
