Sending $300 to your grandma in Cuba doesn't change the dynamic with Castro.
From Joe Garcia
When members of this House use inflammatory language, use offensive language, it does not help the process. It is beneath the dignity of this body and this country.
The world's longest-serving dictator has just stepped down and handed over power. The national project of Cuba, which was Fidel's vision, is now finished. It's something - a small something, but still something.
The Republican Party views Hispanics in terms of market share: Who are they? How do we reach them? Democrats still view us in terms of quotas.
The Cold War has ended for America.
Family is more important than ideology.
You can still do the Big Lie in Miami and get away with it. This is a town where the basic institutions have collapsed.
The last time the Diaz-Balarts were removed from power, it took a revolution, and we ended up with Fidel Castro.

Our policies should be to help develop civil society and increase contacts with people.
