Rep Eva-Dina Delgado is a gem! Ty!
The transit bill passed around 5 AM. John interviewed one of its architects, sleep-deprived Leader Delgado (L), and thanked her for making Halloween more fun.

Medicare for All would save $450B a year.
Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity.
Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall.
It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford.
It’s about priorities.

Folks, please note this. The top military official overseeing Trump's boat bombings recently resigned with no explanation, and now Republicans in Congress are refusing to press for his testimony even in a classified setting.

She can't speak for herself because Cuomo's lawyers have hounded her.
