House Foreign Affairs Subcommittee on the Middle East and South Asia met this afternoon. It was one of the hearings we attended. What was my take away? First, I honestly did not know there were Palestinian Christians. I'm more surprised that I'd never thought of it (one way or the other) than that they exist. Gary Ackerman chairs the committee and he raised the issue with the State Department's Michael...

Health care reform has become a lottery windfall for members of Congress willing to sell their vote in exchange for dollars. Washington correspondent Jamie Dupree Tweets and blogs on a regular basis, giving readers and insiders view of sausage making inside the beltway. It is not a pretty sight. The recent debate in the House resulted in a narrow approval of health care reform. The debate over abortion...

Two Central Valley Blue Dogs, Jim Costa and Dennis Cardoza, may bring home some serious bacon. The congressmen snagged $500 million they want for a medical school at UC Merced, among other things, before agreeing Saturday to support a House bill that proposes a major federal overhaul of health care.
