“Life is like a dream, a dream like smoke, the smoke is like a fart, pfft and it’s gone. May you treasure your short and beautiful life.”

Mike Turner: "This activity that's happening in the Caribbean where they are hitting these boats -- these individuals if they were captured and tried and convicted, they would be guilty of criminal activity for which they're not subject to capital punishment.

Schumer unveiled Dems’ plan for a health care vote next week: A 3-year extension of ACA subsidies.

More than 2,500 Starbucks workers are on strike. They’re demanding dignity: fair pay, safe conditions, a contract that respects their labor.
It’s time their voices are heard at the same volume as CEOs earning millions.
