Actress Rosario Dawson Should Apologize to Dolores Huerta This Cesar Chavez Day



An apology by Dawson to Huerta would be a sign of respect and a signal towards healing if she does so.

Dawson could have picked up the phone to call Dolores Huerta regarding differences in political opinions, but instead she chose to be used as a tool for the Bernie Sanders campaign in writing an open scathing letter.

Clinton moves to lock down New York

Clinton moves to lock down New York
Bernie Sanders is tapping into progressive enthusiasm, but Harlem stands as a Clinton stronghold.
By ANNIE KARNI 03/30/16 06:20 PM EDT

NEW YORK – Hillary Clinton is working hard in New York to make sure she doesn't get embarrassed in her own backyard. That effort kicked off Wednesday with a packed rally in Harlem, where Bernie Sanders has been hoping to make inroads ahead of the April 19 primary.

So far, Sanders hasn’t had much success. While the Brooklyn-born Vermont senator has tapped into progressive enthusiasm in his home borough, he’s struggling to infiltrate the historic black neighborhood in Upper Manhattan that’s the heart of Clinton Country. Sanders is even having difficulty nailing down a venue for a rally.

Essential Politics: The numbers show California is coalescing behind Hillary Clinton
By Christina BellantoniContact Reporter March 28


I'm Christina Bellantoni, and today’s Essential Politics gets your week started with a look at the big numbers in California.

59%

That’s the percentage of California’s vote Hillary Clinton held over both Donald Trump and Sen. Ted Cruz in hypothetical match-ups posed by the USC Dornsife/Los Angeles Times poll.

80%

The percentage of Sen. Bernie Sanders’ voters who told pollsters they would cast ballots for Clinton in November.

The money is on Hillary Clinton to bury Donald Trump

The money is on Hillary Clinton to bury Donald Trump

Prediction one: Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton will win their parties' nominations. Prediction two: Clinton will take the White House handily. At least, that's what political wagering websites say.

These operations, which distill the wisdom of crowds, turn out to be surprisingly solid when it comes to predicting presidential races. Their record for accuracy outdoes that of opinion polls.

Comedy post of the day...Sanders: Superdelegates may now be eyeing switch from Clinton

Sanders: Superdelegates may now be eyeing switch from Clinton
By Jessie Hellmann March 27, 2016, 09:12 am

After three big wins out west, Democratic presidential hopeful Bernie Sanders said he thinks many of the party's superdelegates who have pledged to rival Hillary Clinton will switch to his side.

"I think the momentum is with us," Sanders said on CNN's "State of the Union" with Jake Tapper on Sunday. "A lot of these superdelegates may rethink their positions with Secretary Clinton."

The latest delegate counts still put Sanders behind Clinton, however, with 1,004 pledged delegates to her 1,712.

I'm sure the same supers that Bernie and his acolyte bros demonized for months as evil un-democratic tools of wall street are now eager to join them after he won 3 small population states and remains far behind Hillary, an actual democrat no less.

See how much Bernie's tax plan would affect you...Vox Tax Calculator

This simple calculator tells you how each presidential candidate's tax plan affects you
Updated by Alvin Chang on March 25, 2016, 8:30 a.m

Donald Trump and Ted Cruz propose massive cuts that would greatly reduce federal income taxes on everyone, especially the wealthy, while cutting a wide host of government programs. Meanwhile, Bernie Sanders proposes virtually the opposite: tax increases on everyone, with hikes on the wealthy especially, while adding comprehensive government programs. And Hillary Clinton proposes much smaller tax increases, all focused on the rich.

But what do their plans mean for your federal tax liability?
