I am struggling to try to figure out why this Administration proposes essentially to slash $1.5 trillion in Medicaid

the moral test of government is how that government treats those who are in the dawn of their life, the children; those who are in the twilight of their life, the elderly; and those are in the shadows of life, the sick, the needy, and the…

we can have a legitimate debate about how to deal with the gun violence epidemic.

it is hard to have that legitimate debate when the NRA functions as holding others who are supposedly participating in this debate like they are holy on subsidiaries.
