It's 11:30pm, and I just came from the Rules Committee where I submitted an amendment to the GOP budget to restore medical care funding for veterans exposed to toxic substances.
It's Veterans Day. Passing this amendment is the best way to show we care about America's heroes.

Clark: So what are we doing here today? You have already voted to dismantle medicaid, the largest health care program in America. A program that covers 40% of all births in this country. 40% of children in this country. 40% of disabled people in this country.

JUST IN: Katie Wilson significantly extends her lead in the Seattle mayoral race.
She now leads Mayor Bruce Harrell by 1,346 votes, or 0.5%.
That's up from the squeaker-lead of 91 votes in yesterday's update). She won today's batch of nearly 6K ballots by 20% (!).
Not much left at this point.
