Getting big money out of politics.

Strengthening unions and fighting for higher wages.

“Think of the rivers of blood spilled by all those generals and emperors so that, in glory and triumph, they could become the momentary masters of a fraction of a dot. 

Think of the endless cruelties visited by the inhabitants of one corner of this pixel on the scarcely distinguishable inhabitants of some other corner, how frequent their misunderstandings, how eager they are to kill one another, how fervent their hatreds.”

House Republicans release new farm bill text Agriculture Chair Glenn Thompson borrowed some Democratic ideas, but the panel’s ranking member called it a “charade.”

A new draft of the farm bill from House Republicans is being used to advance protections for pesticide manufacturers. The proposal includes language that would shield companies from state-level penalties or court rulings if their product labels don’t spell out potential health risks.

FBI executes search warrant at Washington Post reporter’s home The search came as part of an investigation into a government contractor accused of illegally retaining classified government materials.
