BREAKING: The scene at the Rayburn Building is pure rebellion. Protesters are swarming in during live hearings on Medicaid cuts.
Security’s losing control. Because when the government wages war on the poor, the poor fight back.

All signs seem to be pointing towards the Panthers taking Jalon Walker with at 8 and I'm okay with that, but all the Jalon Walker/Frankie Luvu comps are giving me prepurchase anxiety. Not that Luvu wasn't great, but shouldn't we be looking for the next Burns or Peppers?

North Carolinians support responsible gun ownership. But there is nothing responsible about allowing a teenager to conceal carry without any training or instruction. This bill is lazy and cynical, risking innocent lives in order to pander to the most fringe elements of the far right. #ncpol
A state Senate committee voted today to eliminate a permit requirement for people who want to carry a concealed gun: www.wunc.org/politics/202... #ncpol #ncga

When the US Constitution was written, many people − from those who wrote the document to those on the outside who read it − believed that endowing the president with kinglike powers was dangerous.

I've been thinking a lot about that bumper sticker which says "everything looks like a conspiracy theory when you don't understand how anything works" and folks it's pretty obvious to me that the people in power right now have absolutely no desire to understand how anything works.

Water is the other US-Mexico border crisis, and the supply crunch is getting worse
Immigration isn’t the only hot-button issue along the US-Mexico border. There’s also a growing water shortage that’s affecting farmers, businesses and cities on both sides.

One of my party facts is that according to polls, Americans believe foreign aid is about 25% of the federal budget and on average that it *should* be about 10%.
The actual number is less than 1%.
Foreign aid has long been a boogey man of the right, so it's not surprising they're vilifying it now.
