A litany of lawsuits, audits and other findings raises questions about why John Schmidt hasn’t faced criminal charges or how he kept a job controlling funds meant for decades.
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., and fellow member of "the Squad" Rep. Ayanna Pressley, D-Mass., vowed Saturday to contribute to a fund that is raising bail money for the 36 counter-protesters arrested at the "Straight Pride Parade" in Boston.
A photo of a group of young men wearing "Team Mitch" t-shirts -- as sign of support for Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell -- appearing to kiss and mock choke a cardboard cutout of Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is drawing sharp criticism from the freshman Democratic congresswoman.
In a statement, the party said, "This kid of hate filled graffiti is an unfortunate symptom of today's environment where folks won't come together for honest debate and discourse."
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell will put the Green New Deal to a vote on Tuesday in a move that will force Democrats to take an official stand on the measure and thus pit the party’s moderates against its progressive wing.
