He isn’t right often, but Rand Paul is right about Venezuela policy.
Rand Paul: "All these designations are steps towards war -- calling drug runners terrorists, saying, 'Oh, if they have a designation'-- Well, how'd they get it? We gave it to them. Why is the former president of Honduras released? So some narcoterrorists are okay & others we're going to blow up"

Now she’s facing cancer herself, and because ACA subsidies won’t be extended, she is losing her healthcare.

Hemp ban in funding bill rips the rug out from under U.S. farmers
In true Washington swamp fashion, this hemp ban is not being debated on its own. Once again, Congress created a crisis, then conveniently used the crisis to jam through new laws without debate.
