Hearing from more people after this went out.
"We're all pissed. This was a lot of unnecessary stress on people and their families for nothing. And if I win the lottery tonight I absolutely will spend millions to hire people to follow these 8 Dems around for a year and make their lives miserable."

I heard from a bunch of federal employees last night and this morning. They aren't happy.

I have a law degree and read medical records for a living. Doctors are regularly impressed by my understanding of medical terminology. I do not understand how to figure out which insurance plan is best. How is any normal person supposed to figure this out?

Great job, @schumer.senate.gov. You've changed the story from "GOP hurting millions of Americans to please unpopular, failing, delusional despot who's destroying his party" to "Dems are too weak and divided in the face of Trump's strength to take a stand and protect Americans"

I have been actively watching contracts and surge funding over the last few days and what I would say to my friends in Baltimore is “be absolutely ready, right now.”

RIP to a Chicago legend you’ve never heard of.
Burt Meyer, Chicago toymaker behind classics like Lite-Brite, Rock ’Em Sock ’Em Robots, has died at 99
Mainly working for Marvin Glass & Associates, he contributed to Chicago becoming a vibrant center of toy design. In an age before video games, he also helped bring the world Mouse Trap.

Last night someone who had been shot crashed a car in my neighborhood. The police taped off the street to investigate, and an impatient driver parked into a parked car while swerving around the police and the tape.

It gets even worse: Due to the Permanent Apportionment Act of 1929, small states are also over-represented in the House, so less populated states have multiple veto points in the system. There is actually no place in our federal system where the national majority rules.
okay one more thing, if the filibuster was so critical to the interest of small states, why is it that it didn't exist until the middle of the 19th century and wasn't actually used with any regularity until well into the 20th?

While details are unknown, Leo’s call for Cardinals to gather in Rome Jan 6-7 for Extraordinary Consistory is significant. Jan 6 marks end of Jubilee Year. Francis nor Benedict called zero such meetings. JP2 convened 6 Extraordinary Consistories; the first in 1979 to discuss his upcoming trip to US.
