Comprehensive sexuality education teaches young people about consent, respect, and healthy relationships, helping to prevent sexual violence before it happens.

Trump's DOJ wants to scrap the Watergate-era law making presidential records public — effectively claiming the presidency owns the American story.
We cannot let that happen.

When the president has an open event, the designated TV pool network distributes it.
But on Monday, those cameras were dark. That's because the White House TV pool banded together and refused to cover Trump's events after he banned CNN, Politico and MS NOW.
