    Civil liberties and civil rights were on the ballot across the country. With so much at stake, especially for marginalized communities, voters responded—in a big way. We can't stop now. Let's get to work.

    Thanks to the ACA’s birth control benefit, an estimated 62mil people have co-pay free insurance for birth control. It’s an incredibly popular provision, so it’s no surprise that Trump waited until the day after we cast our ballots to partially undo it.

    UPDATE: We just filed in court.

    BREAKING: Arizona county elections officials turned away our client, a naturalized citizen, on the basis of citizenship. If they refuse to count his vote, we will go to court to make sure they do.

    She below. This, while two anti-abortion measures passed yesterday. So employees can deny birth control coverage and in Alabama and West Virginia abortion is now not covered by Medicaid. Trump’s war on women continues.

    BREAKING: The Trump administration just followed through on its promise to allow virtually any employer to invoke religion to deny their employees birth control coverage. We will keep fighting to make sure that religious beliefs are not used for discrimination or harm.

    The push to ask about citizenship on the census is not new. Past attempts have been rejected because virtually all experts believe adding such a question would derail the entire premise of the census. The Trump administration did it anyway.

    Instead of de-escalating the situation, a Winston-Salem police officer put his hands on a 14-year-old student, forced her to the ground, and handcuffed her. Armed police officers should not be carrying out traditional school discipline functions. Period.

    The Trump administration is well aware that pushing health care out of people's reach isn't popular with Americans — that's why they waited until the day after the midterms to do it.
