Interesting how ICE flights weren't impacted by the shutdown. Just commercial flights. Yet we had to end the shutdown for the airlines?

There will be another 60 vote Friday* on the garbage shutdown deal. If we can convince just one Senator from the 52 republicans and 8 Dems that voted yes to flip, we could still stop this. Please jump on the phone today, call them, and share this widely.

The Supreme Court rejects petition from Kim Davis to reconsider its 2015 ruling that legalized same-sex marriage, effectively preserving Obergefell for a long time to come. Marriage equality is safe.
