Donald Trump makes me sick. Not literally, of course. I’m under the weather this week. For now, enjoy a slimmed-down version of the newsletter. I’ll be back next week.
Glass half full
Some rare good news this week: the anti-choice activists who made deceptively edited videos about Planned Parenthood have been charged with 15 felonies in California.
What I’m RTing
Ivanka Trump wants to be the new face of working women, but her policies will probably wind up hurting them https://t.co/aAmoiiQov2

I spoke with @MaxineWaters recently. Forget what that asshole said about her, and listen to what she had to say. https://t.co/HDBDXP9qSY

Who I’m reading
Morgan Jenkins at the New York Times on “How America Fails Black Girls” and Rebecca Solnit’s new book, The Mother of All Questions.
What I’m writing
It’s 2017, and somehow conservatives have Americans debating whether it’s appropriate to dine alone with a woman. Mike Pence’s rule is insulting for men and limiting for women. But let’s not let his sexism distract us from his whole party’s sexist agenda.
How I’m making it through this week
The little girl who thinks a broken water heater is a robot is all the medicine I need.
