The Democratic Party is historically unpopular with its own voters. Caving to Trump and getting nothing in return will only bring these numbers down further. It’s a historic failure—and an opportunity to push for changes to the electoral system.

Democratic Party hits lowest approval in over 30 years: Poll
The only policy areas where Democrats outperform Republicans in the new poll from the Wall Street Journal are health care and vaccine policy.

“A promise of a vote on healthcare” is nothing
An end to the shutdown is in sight. A senior Dem Senator tells me there will be more than enough Democrats to vote in favor of re-opening the government tonight.  They’ll get a promise of a vote on health care — but nothing more.  Most of the Democratic leadership will likely vote against it.

Hey @schumer.senate.gov, a 'promise' from Republicans? WTAF? Are you a child? Even you can't be that naïve. Don't you dare do your kabuki theater with hundreds of millions of lives hanging in the balance. If you can't play hardball, resign. Immediately.

I like to make do with imperfect cheap camera+lens (~$500) combo with a small sensor for bird photography. Can't shy away from high ISO and fast shutter speeds in shutter priority. I do like mirrorless as I can check the exposure adjustment in real time.
