What exactly did House Republicans just vote for?
-14 million Americans to lose their health care
-18 million kids to lose their free school meals
-5.4 million people to lose food assistance
It’s not about waste or fraud or abuse.
It’s about a bigger tax cut for the rich.

Whatever the immediate fallout of the scandal, what is going to stick around is the impression it gives, of hapless idiots doing ridiculous things. And I think that seriously reduces the appeal of capitulating to these jokers.

“You are a traitor.”
An absurd and insulting thing to say to anyone who posts what Senator Kelly did.
And even more insulting since he served as a U.S. Navy captain and a NASA astronaut.
Kelly was a combat pilot and flew 39 combat missions during Operation Desert Storm in the Gulf War.

I think a lot about how Brooklyn in 1920 was the most racially diverse and integrated county in the United States and by 1950 was one of the most segregated.
One look at public school systems, including New York’s, revealed that the educational inequities for their children didn’t look much different from down South.
A 1964 boycott fought school segregation, but inequality continues
During the civil rights era, Black and Puerto Rican New Yorkers were frustrated with the constant claims of racial equality in the North.
