Tell congressional leaders:

“It is time to root out sexual harassment and assault in the federal government. Create an independent, bipartisan commission to investigate the sexual assault allegations against Donald Trump or any other federal official accused of sexual harassment or assault and commit to holding perpetrators accountable for their actions.”

Lt. Governor Tina Smith Will Replace Al Franken In The U.S. Senate

, an old white male comedian is replaced by a younger female Lt. Gov. and former Planned Parenthood vice president, and she might be replaced by an even younger black female Muslim refugee. Poor cons, even when they win they're losers.

Beautiful weather all over our great country, a perfect day for all Women to March. Get out there now to celebrate the historic milestones and unprecedented economic success and wealth creation that has taken place over the last 12 months. Lowest female unemployment in 18 years!

Here is ur support!

We’re not marching to celebrate you. And you’re trying to take credit for the sun shining? You have to be kidding me... #delusional45

After complaining during your campaign that government unemployment numbers wildly underreported real unemployment, you now want to cite to government unemployment numbers? Everything good was fake until you were in office and then it was not only real, but all due to Trump. Sad.

Yes

Trump's press secretary might take issue with that.

But probably not, given who her dad Mike Huckabee declared his champion of family values and protector of the faith in the 2016 election: Kim Davis, then married to her fourth husband, and who had a kid by her eventual third husband while still married to her first husband.

Subject: Not a good anniversary...

Today (April 10), 99 days into 2018, is Equal Pay Day--the day women on average will earn the amount of income their male counterparts earned at the end of 2017. The pay gap means a woman loses an average of $400,000 over a lifetime--$1 million if she's Latina.

That's terrible, but not inevitable.

Research and real-life policies have repeatedly shown that decision makers can take steps to close the pay gap. It's important to dispel the myth that the pay gap is near impossible to fix, otherwise society will be discouraged from closing it.

That's why we made this graphic for today, Equal Pay Day, to help fight that harmful myth.



Thanks for taking action!

Marine general removed after calling reports of alleged sexual harassment 'fake news'



2 things surprised me:

All of the top comments are pro-women, anti-Brig. Gen. Kurt Stein.

... In a statement, the Marine Corps said it received an anonymous call to the Naval Criminal Investigative Service hotline on April 9 about Stein’s comments at the town hall.

According to the official, the NCIS investigation found that at least 70 of the nearly 120 Marines and civilian personnel who attended the town hall complained about his comments and interpreted the comments as being hostile to the workforce....

Maybe we are getting better.
