GOP Seeks to Defund AmeriCorps Leaving 85,000 Workers at Risk
When the House voted down an amendment that would fund a military project that nobody, not even the military, wanted, we all understood. We were encouraged, briefly, to see a spark of bi-partisan effort. Too bad that kind of bi-partisanship
