'She persisted'

'She persisted' CREDIT: Senate TV via AP Last night, Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) spoke out against the nomination of Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL) for attorney general, reading a letter from Coretta Scott King. In a highly unusual move, Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) led a vote to silence Warren — a rebuke not extended to several of her male colleagues. It follows an old and very sexist playbook.  CREDIT: AP Photo/James MacPherson Water protectors fought hard against the Dakota Access pipeline. Yesterday, the president made good on his threat to approve it. PSA: Obamacare and the Affordable Care Act are the same thing. Reading List America has an incredibly racist history when it comes to incarceration — the internment of Japanese Americans during WWII is proof enough. Betsy DeVos could be terrible for women's sports.  A terrible new GOP bill would limit legal immigration, and hurt Africans, Asians, and Latinos. Soundbite "Mr. Sessions has used the awesome powers of this office in a shabby attempt to intimidate and frighten elderly black voters."  — Coretta Scott King ThinkProgress | CAP Action Fund 1333 H ST NW | Washington, DC 20005 Contributions to Center for American Progress Action Fund are not tax deductible Donate | Manage Email Options | Privacy Policy | Unsubscribe This email was sent to ignoble.experiment@arconati.us.
