Schumer rails against 'ancient poison' of anti-Semitism in AIPAC remarks
#USSenate Minority Leader #ChuckSchumer lamented what he called the "ancient poison" of #AntiSemitism Monday evening during a speech at the #AIPAC annual conference in #WashingtonDC, in which he criticized both President #DonaldTrump and a fellow #Democrat, freshman Rep. #IlhanOmar, without mentioning either one by name.
"When someone says that being Jewish and supporting Israel means you’re not loyal to America, we must call it out. When someone looks at a neo-Nazi rally and sees some 'very fine people' among its company, we must call it out," Schumer, D-N.Y., said, referencing Trump's statements after the deadly violence at an August 2017 white nationalist rally in #Charlottesville, #VA.

Trump asked why George Washington didn’t name Mount Vernon after himself, report claims
President #DonaldTrump wondered why George Washington did not name his estate Mount Vernon after himself, a new report claims. Trump reportedly made the comment during a visit to the historic compound in April 2018, according to #Politico. The president visited Mount Vernon in #VA with first lady #MelaniaTrump, French President #EmmanuelMacron and his wife #BrigitteMacron.
“If he was smart, he [Washington] would’ve put his name on it,” Trump quipped, according to sources. “You’ve got to put your name on stuff or no one remembers you.”

Terry McAuliffe bows out of 2020 contention
Former #VA Gov. #TerryMcAuliffe won't contest the #WhiteHouse in #Election20. That's a change of pace after a flurry of #Democrat'ic hopefuls announced their candidacy for their party's presidential nomination. "We've got issues in Virginia, and I'm concerned about Virginia," McAuliffe said Wednesday on #CNN. "Beginning tomorrow, my focus is going to be to win the House and Senate in Virginia ... I'm going to coordinate these campaigns in the House and Senate."
McAuliffe, who said he would make a decision about the race by March 31, traveled to early-voting state #SC as recently as last month. On Wednesday, he did not directly answer questions whether his sights were set on Virginia's 2021 gubernatorial election after the commonwealth's 2019 cycle. "It's about helping people," he said. "I would loved to have done it as president. I'm still a young man. You'll see what happens. This is a real opportunity. I started it. I need to finish it."

An Antares rocket soared into the afternoon sky over #VA on Wednesday (April 17) carrying tons of #NASA supplies — and 40 intrepid mice — to the #ISS. The Northrop Grumman Antares rocket and its uncrewed Cygnus spacecraft launched into the cosmos from the Mid-Atlantic Regional Spaceport at NASA's Wallops Flight Facility, kicking off a two-day voyage to the space station. Liftoff occurred at 4:46 p.m. EDT (2046 GMT). "A beautiful day, a fantastic launch," NASA's deputy space station program manager Joel Montalbano said after the successful liftoff.

Joe Biden Announces 2020 Run for President
Former Vice President #JoeBiden announced Thursday that he would seek the #Democrat'ic nomination to challenge President #DonaldTrump in #Election20, marshaling his experience and global stature in a bid to lead a party increasingly defined by a younger generation that might be skeptical of his age and ideological moderation. Mr. Biden, 76, is set to offer himself as a levelheaded leader for a country wracked by political conflict, a rationale he believes could attract a broad cross-section of voters who want to move on from Mr. Trump.
In a three-and-a-half minute video laying out his reasons for running, Mr. Biden chose not to talk about policy issues or his biography but instead began by recalling the white supremacist march through #Charlottesville, #VA, in 2017 and a counterprotest, and Mr. Trump’s comment that there were “very fine people on both sides.”
