My personal opinion: The fight was necessary to see if the pressure could get the GOP to move on funding ACA subsidies. I don’t see any evidence that it was anymore likely at day 40 than on day 1. You could continue the shutdown in hopes that it would happen, but there’s no guarantee.

In Virginia, the governor and attorney general races are especially important. In Pennsylvania, remember to vote YES on the retention of the Supreme Court justices on the ballot. In California, vote YES on Proposition 50.

This is how our government has been corrupted: 1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians to office. 2) Elected officials rewrite the rules in the donors' favor. 3) Donors make a huge profit. 4) Repeat. For the sake of democracy, we must get Big Money out of politics.

Is it really necessary to waste 4 gallons of water just to flush a new refrigerator filter? Seems excessive. Does anyone know the science on this? If the lifetime of the filter is 200 gallons, you’re wasting 2% of its life on this process.

For every $1 the IRS spends auditing the top 1%, it can collect $13. For every $1 the IRS spends auditing the top 0.1%, it can collect $26. Laying off 7,000 IRS employees (during tax season) isn't about efficiency. It's about making it easier for the rich to evade taxes.
