A hot mess

NationBuilder Friend, Spring is in the air! The days are getting longer, the weather is getting nicer, and the flowers are blooming...but in Congress, the tone is a bit different. Kevin McCarthy has been Speaker of the House for 100 days now, and he has yet to do anything meaning…

Abortion rights are on the line

NationBuilder Friend,  As you've probably heard, last week an unelected judge blocked the 20-year FDA approval of Mifepristone, not because of any safety or efficacy concerns, but because of anti-abortion extremism. This is a radical escalation of the attacks against our reproduct…
