Here's a story that's not getting nearly enough attention.
Defunding Planned Parenthood has already caused chaos and harm, and access to essential reproductive care is plummeting.
Right now, the Trump administration's backers in Congress want to permanently defund Planned Parenthood,
forcing even more health centers to close, and millions at risk of losing access to care.
It takes less than a minute to help.
And make a gift of any size.
From the New York Times, it's the headlines.

Today's Thursday, June 18, here's what we're covering.
A senior Trump administration official gathered reporters on a conference
call yesterday in order to release the full text of the deal the U.S.
Has reached with Iran.
Until that point, the specific language of the agreement had been secret.
In going paragraph by paragraph, the official read the document aloud, stopping to defend each section along the way.
As the terms of the deal were laid out, what became clear was that the document,
which is being called a Memorandum of Understanding,
is far from the unconditional surrender President Trump had demanded from Iran.
At the start of the war, Trump said the goal was the total destruction of the country's nuclear
and missile programs and the fall of its regime.
