BREAKING: Renowned former federal prosecutor Harry Litman announces he has resigned from his role as a contributor for the LA Times. "I don’t want to continue to work for a paper that is appeasing Trump and facilitating his assault on democratic rule for craven reasons."

Women are dying. Women in America are DYING. Pregnant women in America are dying after being denied critical abortion care to save their lives. Further, barbaric Republican policies restricting or banning abortion are disproportionately taking the lives of women of color. Black women are…

Welp.
