People are about to find out why the Democrats are holding out for the healthcare subsidies. What will they do with that info? Will they continue to back their dear leader or finally realize he doesn't have their best interest in mind?

Today I am angry that the Mariners lost game 7 of the ALCS. I'm angry that ownership has consistently, over the years, failed to put the money needed into this team. I'm angry at the playoff management from Dan Wilson. I'm angry that I am 43 and have not see one single Mariners World Series game.

When broken down issue by issue I feel like most people agree with left leaning politics. At least in my experience. People seem to agree with the basics.
We've failed to break it down and articulate the democratic platform. We've let fear become the biggest issue. Unsubstantiated fear.

The Trump administration's unusual 10-day ban on drone flights across Chicago could have serious consequences for our ability to monitor law enforcement activity.
We can't let the government weaken our First Amendment rights by claiming vague “security threats.”

Sweeping Ban on Drone Flights Across Chicago Looks Suspiciously Like an Attempt to Ban Press Coverage | ACLU

DOJ is such a fucking embarrassment.
Apart from how substantively terrible the things they've done have been, purely from a professional point of view, it's an avert-your-eyes, cringe-inducing, vicarious embarrassment nightmare.

My god.
This is not, I do not think, of any real importance to the case. The change being sought was minor.
But, Alsup's point is AGGRESSIVELY made.
DOJ files reply on 8/14.
Opinion issued 9/12.
Judgment issued 9/13.
Notice of appeal filed 9/16.
"Errata" notice filed 9/30.
Denial issued today.

Let 'em shut down the government. The GOP will have nobody to blame but themselves. Hopefully their "followers" see it for what it is. Inept, clueless leadership focused only on those that try to hold them accountable.
