Senate Republicans could end the Democrat shutdown today if they dump the filibuster and pass the Continuing CR. I get that many, including ‘Grok contributors, think that’s a bad idea, but I’ve got something of a Steve Bannon approach to this.

Now that he is running for the US Senate, a position for which it is difficult to unseat even the most despicable liberal scold, Chris Pappas, has invited more scrutiny. As a member of Congress, he can and has done plenty of damage, but the size of the US House dilutes the potential harm. He’d … Read more
The “will he run or won’t he” rumor mill just took an interesting turn. I’m referring to former New Hampshire Governor Chris Sununu.

Now that Senator Brian Schatz of Hawaii is holding up all of Trump’s nominations , it seems appropriate to re-post a recommendation I made a while back: Okay, if this is the way things are going to go, here’s what I think Trump should do.
