The federal government shutdown has grounded the Blue Angels from its crowd-pleasing, stunt-filled airshow at San Francisco's Fleet Week.

But Canadian air force pilots and Colombian sailors will be on hand to make sure the show goes on, organizers said this week.

Were you recently furloughed? Have you gotten notice that your health insurance premiums are going up? Tell me how you’ve been impacted by this Republican shutdown.

I want to hear your story, so I can better fight for you! Thank you for sharing.

Pritzker: "It's unconscionable. This has never happened before. They're calling out troops onto the streets of a state that doesn't want them and they're not even telling us where they're gonna go, what they're gonna do. This hasn't happened I don't think since the Civil War."

Just thinking about this. If Comey can be charged with lying to Congress aren't there a few members of Supreme Court that can be charged with the same thing having some real evidence against them?

Just bone chilling. And when the imprisonment of critics is combined with his offer to enrich and immunize his loyalists, this is how democracies die fast.

But it's still our choice. Don't let him silence you.

Paul Ingrassia, Trump’s nominee to lead the office investigating Jack Smith, has recently been investigated for harassing a colleague, Politico reports.

In late July, Paul Ingrassia, the White House liaison for the Department of Homeland Security, arrived at a Ritz-Carlton in Orlando with a lower-ranking female colleague and others from their department. When the group reached the front desk, the woman learned she didn't have a hotel room.
Ingrassia then informed her that she would be staying with him, according to five administration officials familiar with the episode. Eventually the woman discovered that Ingrassia had arranged ahead of time to have her hotel room canceled so she would have to stay with him, three of those officials said.
