"The excuse for not launching a counter-filibuster against Gorsuch is that it would simply lead the Republicans to turn to the much-discussed “nuclear option,” forcing him through on a simple majority vote, and removing the filibuster as a defense against some theoretical future nominee who is visibly unqualified or extremist. But if the Republicans are willing to kill the filibuster today, they would be willing to kill the filibuster next time around, and to force through an extremist on a narrow majority vote. That is how the Republican Party plays Supreme Court politics now."

* Rex Tillerson got passed which means Exxon is now conducting our foreign policy. We just softened sanctions on Russia, that being in Exxon's interest, and to reward them for interfering in our elections, as the particular sanctions were in response to that. We also loosened a bunch of Environmental and anti-corruption laws, as Republicans think the right to dump coal waste in drinking water and for corporations engage in corruption with foreign governments like say, Exxon with Russia, trumps what is good for human type people who will be poisoned or the good of the country.

* "Congress MUST Act To Halt Constitutional Crisis Caused By Bannon, Trump Ignoring Judicial Branch:" http://reverbpress.com/politics/congress-must-act-halt-constitutional-crisis-caused-bannon-trump-ignoring-judicial-branch/

* It's official. Unless the documents that were lost in a move over a decade ago show up, there is literally no way to prove I am a U S Citizen short of a lawsuit against the State of Pennsylvania to force them to release a birth certificate. I can not afford a lawyer, therefore no birth certificate and no passport.

Yes, I know, the directions and the criteria in the law are very simple, but that is a lie. In practice, the transphobes in the bureau of vital statistics take your money, but endlessly make up new ever shifting rules so they can avoid releasing documents. There voice mail lies that they are processing December, but I sent in yet more documents not required by law but demanded by the transphobes in August. They happily cashed the checks I have sent them since we started in 2015. I still haven't gotten my certificate or a reason why they are not releasing it. My guess is they circular filed all my documents and kept the money.

* I was supposed to do dishes and start the exegesis tonight, but the headache I woke up with is worse and I'm gathering energy to make the move to bed instead.

I am trying not to freak out about finances and the ID situation, but I don’t think I’m succeeding.
