From axing West Point’s Black history program to gutting women’s support groups, Brigadier Gen. Ty Seidule (Ret.) says the environment for young officers is “extraordinarily hard.” He argues that those serving now are doing so in the toughest conditions in years.

Donald Trump will not attend former Vice President Dick Cheney's funeral – and wasn't asked to speak at the service. A senior official said he would not attend the funeral & wasn’t aware of anyone else on his staff going to the invitation-only service on Nov. 20. www.usatoday.com/story/news/p...

At least they FINALLY admitted why they refused to negotiate on the shutdown. First they lied and promised Dems they would “negotiate” this, but only AFTER they voted for the CR. But Dems were correct when they assessed that Republicans NEVER intended to extend these subsidies.

Big shout out to Utah Republicans, who greedily passed a fully gerrymandered map that includes an R+2 and an R+6 district, as they watched Democrats easily overcome those margins all across the country tonight.

In my election preview, I'd identified 6 Connecticut towns to watch: I flagged that Democrats were defending the mayorship of Danbury and Norwalk, and hoping to flip Bristol, Milford, New Britain, & Stratford.
Dems won all 6 mayor's races (so 4 flips).
They flipped others too.
