I’ve been catching up on your emails from this week. The “clean” CR, after BigBB isn’t clean. ACA open enrollment starts today, and the House has failed to deal with this.
Your stories of dealing with effects of the failure of government aren’t “good news”, they’re “unforced error clean-up” news.

Awful: Pentagon officials told lawmakers Trump now claims authority to bomb people merely “affiliated” with “narco-terrorist" groups, Rep Adam Smith tells me. But under questioning, they wouldn't say what “affiliated” even means!

Entering the Anne Frank stage of the administration I see
During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door.
It wasn’t the feds — it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help.
He let them hide in his unit for the next 3 days.

The richest family in the United States, the Waltons, made money by not paying Walmart employees enough. This forced employees to seek government assistance for food and healthcare.
Republicans’ response is to take away that assistance because the Waltons aren’t rich enough.
