One of the symptoms of uneasiness is the inability to stay still. Leana Wen knows this. She’s a doctor. And she was the president of Planned Parenthood until today, when the abortion organization’s board met in secret and pushed her out, after less than nine months on the job, because of “philosophical” differences. They’re uneasy. They can’t stay still. And no wonder: Planned Parenthood is facing more opposition than ever….

President Trump is a gut-level politician who often seems to act on unfiltered impulse. But his string of recent tweets about the self-styled “Squad” of liberal House Democrats feel calculated, not caffeinated. And, despite what a number of GOP pundits have argued, they were not politically stupid. Demeaning, offensive, nativist, unbecoming a president — yes to all that too. But Trump offends for a reason, and his motives for this…

Jeffrey Epstein had “improper sexual contact” with women even while serving out his prison time in Florida, the lawyer for some of his accusers charged Tuesday. Under a highly questionable plea deal that the multimillionaire pedophile was able to cut with prosecutors in Florida in 2008, Epstein served just 13 months behind bars in the private wing of a county jail there. But he was allowed out on a work-release…

Some bystanders captured video of the attack on their cellphones, recording Mr. Garner as he gasped “I can’t breathe,” dying words that became a rallying cry for protesters across the nation. His death was one of several fatal encounters between black people and the police, including the fatal shooting of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Mo., a month later, that catalyzed the national Black Lives Matter movement. Prosecutors did a “rigorous…

Ocasio-Cortez argued the president was attacking the four congresswomen because he…

The Trump administration announced Monday that taxpayer-funded family planning clinics are prohibited from referring women to abortion providers as a part of the family planning program Title X. The Protect Life Rule, which many abortion rights advocates call a “gag rule,” will not only halt abortion referrals, but will also mandate that no abortion provider receives taxpayer funding. This rule, which applies to all Planned Parenthood clinics, is seen as…
