The only thing that matters is the weather at Mar-a-Lago this weekend.

Senators by a 50-49 margin approved the House-passed resolution, which rolls back a rule meant to encourage a state's "political subdivisions," like cities and counties, to create retirement plans for private-sector workers whose employers do not offer their own retirement plans.

The Obama rule would have exempted the city-run accounts from the Employee Retirement Income Security Act, or ERISA, a law that outlines rules for workplace savings. Supporters argue the move would make it easier for cities to set up the accounts.

Seven states have taken a steps toward creating programs under the Obama-era rule, and Democrats noted that another 23 states are currently considering the program.

Somewhere along the way I heard that there have been a large number of air intercepts due to planes accidentally flying into a 'no fly' zone, like Mar-A-Logo popup NFZ's. It could be argued that the pilots should know better then to fly anywhere near Mar-A-Logo Friday - Sunday every weekend. I understand that at least one intercept required the fighters to respond at super sonic speeds.

What does this mean? Each fighter costs up to $35K/hour to operate, and there are 2 aircraft responding.

To the pilot violating the airspace, it generally means losing his or her pilots license.

Add in Trump Tower and that is mo'(tax payer)money.

McCaskill, who was necessary but not sufficient for any quest for 60 votes on cloture, says she'll filibuster Gorsuch.

The lifespan of the filibuster for SC nominees enters its final week.

Did I miss the discussion of this?:
Trump orders military in Syria to focus on ISIS rather than Assad.

Admittedly we've been doing nothing more than paying lip service to the idea of removing Assad for over a year, but there is some worth to that. Surprised/not surprised it took so long for Trump to articulate it, as the policy of ignoring abuses by foreign heads of state was always clear, but articulating is always a problem.

Back in December this headline never surfaced at a national level: Trump again hires 64 foreign workers for Mar-a-Lago

H-2B visas

His line of reasoning: “It’s very, very hard to get people,” Trump said. “Other hotels do the exact same thing.”

Rain Saturday. Chinese don't golf I guess.

Is this the 6th or 7th time?

Its the difference between being pissed off about $18 or 21M spent on him getting some sun and fun.

Toomey big time in line with the party - gorsuch will be on the court no matter what they have to do. You'd think he was in a big time red state

Anyway be careful what you wish for. I still think demographics will change to a point where it will be impossible for there to be anything but democratic presidents in this country - electoral college and Hillary be damned.

for some reason Mike Pence is somewhere in Ohio speaking to a "crowd" of around 50 employees of an electronics manufacturer. Sounds like most of his staff is clapping at his applause lines. Would probably help if he weren't talking about coal miners in front of electronics factory workers.
