If you haven't started watching Death by Lightning on Netflix, you need to do so immediately. Matthew MacFadyen is absolutely amazing, Nick Offerman is fantastic
I reviewed the stellar DEATH BY LIGHTNING, which assembles one of the best casts of voices in recent memory and puts them through their paces to incredible results. Beautiful TV.

Trump has now overseen the two longest government shutdowns in history — with the current one reaching 36 days.
He ran on fixing a broken system and helping working people.
Instead, he’s making the system even worse and shafting working people by gutting the social safety net.

Yes, because this is the lesson you should take from the election.
After Democrats’ triumphant election night, President Trump is pushing Republican senators to abolish the filibuster and reopen the government without help from the other party.
Trump ramps up pressure on his own party to nix the filibuster as shutdown drags on
After meeting with Trump, some Republican senators appear more open to nuking the 60-vote filibuster rule. But GOP Leader John Thune says, "It's just not happening."

It’s almost like if people tell you that to win you have to turn your back on poor people, or Muslims, or trans people, or immigrants, you can just say, “no, that’s immoral, we’re not doing that,” and keep doing good old fashioned organizing and campaigning and things will be ok

Why The Fix Our Forests Act Won’t Fix Our Forests
A bipartisan group of lawmakers realize they need something to show voters in the mid-terms. The resulting bill achieves nothing beyond careless harm to our national forests.
