Breaking News: Following several days of massive anti-corruption protests, the government of Bulgaria has now resigned. The government that resigned was kinda pro Russian, or at least sympathetic.

Yeah sex is good but have you ever had your spouse take over the annual health insurance open enrollment comparison spreadsheet, spend half the weekend agonizing over fine print and medical jargon, and come to the conclusion that the plan you picked last year is truly the least bad option?

Just saw a horrifying ICE ad in my Facebook feed. (I know, I should expect that from Zuck now and should have stopped using FB long time ago).
But holy crap, this was gross. For so many reasons.

Angus King: "This initial strategy didn't work. And now we have one. We're gonna have a guaranteed vote on the ACA, and it may not succeed. I grant that. But a reasonable chance -- 10, 20, 30% -- is a lot better than 0% which is where we were."

A reminder - last March, republicans promised to restore $1.1B in funding to DC in exchange for funding the government, and Mike Johnson never took it up in the House.
