    NYT would never run a column that engages in cost-benefit analysis of some specific group of people killing themselves; why would they run one addressing that question about all people?

    This blows my mind: House Ethics Rules prevent me from receiving a $100 gift card, or crashing at a place as I wait for rent 💰, but somehow allow members w/ investment portfolios to write laws that will personally enrich them $1000s in their own stocks; potentially millions.

    Orrin Hatch's practice of apologizing when he says the wrong thing is admirable, but he sure ends up needing to do it a lot.

    Senator Orrin Hatch has had a gaffe-tastic final year.

    My guess is there will be a can-kick CR late in the week and the president will whinily sign it, not wanting another stock market swoon.

    This is all a little bit pathetic, Republican leaders waiting for the president's permission to send him legislation.

    Trump has left GOP leaders in the dark about the next steps to avoid a shutdown. Republicans assembled in McConnell’s office for an evening meeting had no idea what he would sign, including short-term CR, according to attendee. “I don’t know of a specific plan yet,” Cornyn said

    This isn’t a super-relevant timescale because the markets priced in the expectation of a corporate tax cut as it became clear there would be one, not all at once when it became law.

    S&P 500 is now down since Congress and Trump cut the tax rate on corporate profits from 35% to 21%. Now at a 14-month low.

    A striking difference between Texas v. U.S. and the last two lawsuits against the ACA is that even conservative writers are trashing this case -- and in no uncertain terms.
