Tweet of the month:
Let me be clear: I oppose US intervention in Venezuela. However, it is absolutely essential that the Maduro government let in a big truck from the CIA with the words "NOT GUNS" spray painted on the side of it.

Schumer: $1.2 Billion in Trump Budget Must Go to NYC Housing
Submitted by Amanda Matthews on Sun, 02/24/2019 - 9:53pmExcuse me, but this takes nerve. These people were willing to throw billions to Jeff Bezos but they can’t afford to fix up NYC housing. Why?
