Republicans are closing in on their first legislative victory of the year, after two GOP Senators previously opposed to the tax plan got on board this weekend. But Democrats still have concerns.
U.S. Congressman Ro Khanna (D-CA), who joined Cheddar before the most recent concessions were made, said the policies may benefit companies in his home district in the heart of Silicon Valley, but do little for Middle America.
Washington, DC – Today, Rep. Ro Khanna, member of the House Armed Services Committee, strongly disagreed with President Trump's announcement that he will break with longstanding U.S. presidential policy by recognizing Jerusalem as the capital of Israel and begin the process of moving the U.S. embassy:
The United States is helping Saudi Arabia commit "war crimes" in Yemen, according to US Congressman Ro Khanna.
In an exclusive interview with Al Jazeera's UpFront aired on Friday, Khanna, a Democratic congressman from California, said the US made a mistake in supporting the Saudi-led coalition's bombing campaign of Yemen.
"Today, I believe that we are aiding Saudi Arabia in Saudi Arabia's committing war crimes," Khanna told UpFront host Mehdi Hasan.
With the pace of mergers and acquisitions in the American economy quickening, a new era of trust-busting may be coming.
Washington, DC -- U.S. Representatives Ro Khanna (D-CA) and Mark Pocan (D-WI) released the following statement regarding President Trump's call for Saudi Arabia to lift a crippling blockade on Yemen that has prevented food, fuel, and medicine from reaching Yemenis facing a famine.
Republicans on Capitol Hill are pushing legislation this week that would allow people permitted to carry concealed guns in one state to bring their weapons with them when they travel, even if their destination state has more stringent requirements to qualify for concealed carry.
But if the GOP wants to do that, a Democratic congressman argues in a new video, they should also be in favor of forcing states to recognize protections granted under each another's marijuana laws.
"We have a data problem," Keith Ellison says. He's talking about mergers, like yesterday's proposed purchase of Aetna by CVS, or this summer's between Amazon and Whole Foods. "We don't collect and have enough information that will help do the evaluation as to whether or not a given merger that takes place actually yielded the benefits that were promised." So the Minnesota Democrat and co-chair of the DNC is going to try to fix that — along with the newly formed Congressional Antitrust Caucus.
At the start of November, more than 20 humanitarian groups issued a warning that Yemen had just six weeks of food aid remaining for the 7 million people in that country facing famine. The desperate alarm was caused by a blockade imposed by Saudi Arabia, preventing medical supplies and food from entering the country.
Now, a month later, that blockade is still in effect, and there's a growing chorus of international voices calling for Saudi Arabia to allow the flow of goods to resume.
I remember all too well hearing the term "net neutrality" for the first time. My mind always records for posterity the times when I make a fool of myself.
It was in 1999, at one of those then-ubiquitous conferences that attracted hundreds of techies in the midst of the dot-com boom, that I got my first lesson on the topic. Standing in line with a group of tech stalwarts, I was asked if my publication, then Forbes, would be interested in a column on net neutrality.
I answered, "I doubt it." Then, when someone asked "Why not?," I made the mistake of trying to answer.
