Four days after Trump fired her, Cooper was in bed with her husband. She picked up her phone and saw the news.

There was a new executive order to expand access to IVF. She read the White House fact sheet, which talked about Trump’s request for policy recommendations to reduce costs of the service.

But it still wasn’t free, and she was out of a job and out of a plan.

“Delivering on promises for American families,” read the White House’s announcement.

“That’s bulls—”, she recalled thinking, and put down her phone.

Regrets voting for Trump. This dissatisfaction will only continue to grow as more an more folks are affected by cuts and inflation. This doesn’t even take into account the increased occurrences of disasters and failed relief.
