So y’all only want to abolish the filibuster for your priorities but leave it for everything else, @SenatorHagerty?
Hey @TheDemocrats stop letting them play in your face. Abolish the filibuster when you can, like Obama said.

Sen. Bill Hagerty says Republicans are looking at weakening the filibuster to ram the SAVE America Act through the Senate (Trump, who has called for "nationalizing" elections, has been pushing hard for the bill ahead of the midterms)

Federal officials used a military laser weapon on what turned out to be a party balloon near El Paso, shutting down the airport. The incident reveals how vulnerable U.S. airports and infrastructure remain to actual drone threats. buff.ly/e53L1SW
Counter-drone technologies are evolving – but there’s no surefire way to defend against drone attacks
Companies are selling a range of anti-drone devices, from guns that fire nets to powerful laser weapons, but no one system is sufficient for defending airports, power plants and other critical sites.

The looming snowstorm will not wipe out the Sierra snow drought, but it'll put a dent into it.
The Truckee watershed needs 9.1 in. of snow water equivalent through Wednesday, Feb. 18 to reach median.
Carson: 6.3” SWE
Walker: 4.5” SWE
Warm temperatures, not a lack of precipitation, is the culprit

Trump: ‘There will be Voter I.D. for the Midterm Elections, whether approved by Congress or not!’
"I have searched the depths of Legal Arguments not yet articulated or vetted on this subject, and will be presenting an irrefutable one in the very near future," wrote Trump, who is not a lawyer.
