First Read: The Democratic Race Takes a Nastier Turn

The 2008 Barack Obama-vs.-Hillary Clinton presidential race was combative, competitive, and polarizing for Democratic voters. …But one thing that never happened was either Obama or Clinton directly saying that their rival wasn’t qualified to be president. Yet that’s exactly what happened last night at Bernie Sanders’ event in Philadelphia.

How Home Ownership Keeps Blacks Poorer Than Whites – Forbes

A 2001 Brookings Institution study showed that “wealthy minority neighborhoods had less home value per dollar of income than wealthy white neighborhoods.” The same study concluded that “poor white neighborhoods had more home value per income than poor minority neighborhoods.” The Brookings study was based on a comparison of home values to homeowner incomes in the nation’s 100 largest metropolitan areas, and it found that even when homeowners had similar incomes, black-owned homes were valued at 18% less than white-owned homes. The 100 metropolitan areas were home to 58% of all whites and 63% of all blacks in the country.

Bangert: Alting gets dose of ‘Periods for Pence’

Sen. Ron Alting said his office expected to field calls about his vote on House Bill 1337, Indiana’s controversial new restrictions on abortion. But was Alting’s staff prepared for women to call and report their menstrual cycles to the Lafayette Republican?

“No, of course not,” Alting said Monday afternoon.

For the past week, Hoosier women have joined the trolling protest of “Periods for Pence,” a social media movement that has drummed up more than 16,000 likes since its Facebook page was created March 28. The upshot: They have been bombarding operators in Gov. Mike Pence’s office, offering mocking updates on their cycles and asking for advice on what to do at that time of the month – all in response to provisions in House Bill 1337, which Pence signed into law March 24.

“…My favorite response was the woman who said, ‘Ma’am, I’m going to have to refer you to your doctor for those sorts of questions,’” Austin said. “I replied, ‘I would love to keep this between myself and my doctor, but unfortunately the government of the state of Indiana is making that impossible.’ … I think the main thing is that these decisions are private, and particularly in the case of miscarriage, are almost always traumatic enough without the state stepping in and adding further trauma to the mothers and families who are experiencing it. Can you imagine, losing a wanted child and having to bury or cremate the remains?”
