North Carolina congressional district from when Democrats were in charge versus when Republicans were in charge.

It's actually a lot less gerrymandered.

The bill in the Senate is for continued funding at the current levels with no other changes to the law. It has already passed in the House of Representatives.

The Senate just needs to end debate and vote on it.

And he absolutely can't stand Donald Trump.

It's actually a very good book.

You should challenge yourself with other viewpoints.

To think Donald is innocent is ludicrous.
