Senate agrees to House language on Epstein files by unanimous consent. This was Schumer’s move, and while I appreciate the alacrity, and a roll call means less after Trump stopped trying to oppose the bill, I expect more delay tactics ahead, so having every Senator on record would have been useful.

<<Landon Thomas Jr. in several emails commiserated about Donald Trump potentially defeating Hillary Clinton, with the journalist venting in a Feb. 10, 2016, exchange: "Its [sic] getting scary. The stories you could tell...
"
"Actually i don't think he/voters would care
Being effectively shameless is a pretty powerful weapon for a presidential candidate," Epstein responded.>>
“Actually i don't think he/voters would care” is highlighted.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:k77if5kfdhshbodwowsi3uk2/bafkreie7pafmyykg2ijhnrbhzcnowfzq45h4vxzciesw776htwtr3mmmt4@jpeg)

So, the son of one of the girls in this photo is going to run for Congress and might be squaring off against the ex-husband of the other girl.

When the Cave-in Caucus broke ranks, my 1st thought was: the airlines.
“The air travel industry spent more than $2.8 mil… trying to influence the last election, & $842,500… went to the 8 Conservative Dems who voted to reopen the govt w/out securing extended ACA subsidies.”

“Republicans made it clear this is as far as they would go.”
That is Sen. Jeanne Shaheen’s rationale for why she broke ranks, along with seven other Dems, to give the GOP the CR they wanted.

It should absolutely be part of any Dem set of talking points that the Trump administration is using a battery of expensive, taxpayer-funded lawyers to repeatedly prevent the country’s most vulnerable from having enough money to eat.

I was going to play the Cuomo endorsement game with a picture of Robert Mitchum as Preacher Harry Powell from "The Night of the Hunter," but honestly, even that can't top this:

What’s odd abt Trump’s late 👍 to Cuomo is that Trump hates being on-record endorsing losers. Trump has stayed away from the VA & NJ governor races, for instance.
Is this Trump hoping to join Cuomo in post-election Lost Cause-ism, or is he trying to justify action against NYC as an “I told you so?”

I usually think of the end of the baseball season as the unofficial start of winter, and with the World Series going the distance this year, I consider my summer-lovin’ self lucky. But, with the end of Daylight Savings Time coming the same day as Game 7, I am clinging to every minute I have outside.

Question now is, do I break out this cap, or save it for Game 7 as a sign I have faith that there will be a Game 7?
