Warner and Kaine issued a joint statement saying that they will stand with Dreamers and CHIP beneficiaries and will vote against a CR if necessary. That takes some real courage. I'm kind of surprised Kaine went out on that limb after what he said at the happy hour.

I am kind of confused why DT's administration would be working so hard to keep parks and monuments open if the gov shuts down. This seems opposed to most everything he stands for? This shut down is happening, isn't it? Who needs a paycheck anyway? My agency has started giving guidance on a furlough. They haven't sent guidance since we actually closed in 2013.... even with all of the close calls since then. Seeming more likely by the minute. Well, on the bright side, if there is a shut-down with a bunch of you not working, this board is gonna be LIT!

I don't believe a single thing that the Doctor said, since his height and weight were so obviously lies. Why would any of the rest of it be true? C'mon. His height was probably correct.

not politics related, but today was the first day we took tax appointments for free tax help through AARP at the library. We had a huge line of people at the door when we opened and by the time I started checking voicemails at 10:30, it took me 45 minutes to go through all of them and there were over 100 voicemails. Every year, people are more and more desperate for help doing their taxes.

It's a great service but man do people not understand that the staff of the historical society had nothing to do with the wait time.

The GOP tweets about CHIP needing to be funded might really send me over the deep end. Like really, really.

Elijah Cummings (Ranking on House Oversight) is publicly pushing Trey Gowdy (the Chairman) to subpoena White House documents about Flynn and Kushner security clearances. 'The rules governing the suspension of security clearances were established to protect our national security by temporarily halting the flow of classified information until allegations are fully investigated and resolved," committee ranking member Rep. Elijah Cummings wrote. "We do not understand why the White House disregarded these rules in these cases, but it is our responsibility on the Oversight Committee to find out." amp.businessinsider.com/elijah-cummings-asks-trey-gowdy-subpoena-flynn-kushner-security-clearance-documents-2018-1?__twitter_impression=true

I especially like the comments from people who think it's real. ETA I don't know how to stop the iframe thing. It's not showing up until after I post.
