Yes!! This!!! “Girls sports” don’t need saving. They need support. They need people who can speak knowledgably about the games!
Gobsmacked by the elite levels of not knowing ball in the Senate today, thinking an NBA team is called the Hawkeyes then, refusing to Google it, then accusing a guy of treason because you didn’t know the Iowa Lady Hawkeyes aren’t in the NBA. Somehow I don’t trust these people to Save Girls Sports.

For 33 years, McConnell has voted against family and medical leave for working Americans. Then he disappears from the Senate for 92 days and keeps collecting his full paycheck. Apparently, paid leave is only a problem when someone else gets it.

Thank you to Stacy for sharing her story - and for doing what any parent would do to make sure their daughter has the care she needs to live at home.
As this bill on GOP Medicaid cuts goes back to the House, it’s not too late to remind Washington politicians just how much is at stake.

The NDP voting against the throne speech will be incorrigible.
Sabotaging a government months after an election isn’t strategy; it’s stupidity.
If they hand Poilievre the keys out of spite, they’ll own every disaster that follows.
Grow up or get out of the way.
