Trump has failed to keep his minions happy.

‘The Comey Rule’: Why Watching Jeff Daniels Ruined James Comey’s Day
Alexis Soloski, NYT > U.S. > Politics - 2 hours ago
Based on the former F.B.I. director’s 2018 memoir, the mini-series recounts
a history so recent that viewers may experience whiplash. For Comey,
watching Daniels in action prompted tears — and nausea.
Comey is an honest man.
He understood his oath.

Men Promised a Woman for Ginsburg’s Seat. Is That What Women Want?
Sydney Ember and Rebecca R. Ruiz, NYT > U.S. > Politics - 3 hours ago
The pledges on both sides of the aisle have produced mixed feelings among
voters, inspiring some while leaving others exasperated by what they see as
political posturing.
Sexual politics have no place in law.

With Government Reform Package, Democrats Eye an Era After Trump
Nicholas Fandos, NYT > U.S. > Politics - 3 hours ago
The bill has almost no chance of becoming law while President Trump is in
office, but it is Democrats’ most comprehensive response to date to what
they consider abuses and excesses by the Trump administration.
Most of these matters are properly constitutional questions.
They will be considered by the Supreme court and rejected by the Trump court.
The U.S. is suffering from "majority faction".

The House Moves to Avert a Shutdown
Giovanni Russonello, NYT > U.S. > Politics - 5 hours ago
A stopgap bill will still need Senate and Oval Office approval: This is
your morning tip sheet.
House Democrats reached a deal with the White House yesterday on a stopgap spending measure that seeks to avert a government shutdown just weeks before the November election.
The bill now needs to be approved by the Senate before it can be sent to President Trump’s desk. Congress has been unable to agree on the broader spending bills that would keep the government funded when the new fiscal year starts on Oct. 1.

With Court Prize in Sight, Republicans Unite Behind Trump Once Again
Nicholas Fandos, NYT > U.S. > Politics - 6 hours ago
The swift rally behind President Trump’s push to fill a Supreme Court seat
before the election reflects his lock on the Republican Party.

American Suburbs Are Tilting for Biden. But Not Milwaukee’s.
Trip Gabriel, NYT > U.S. > Politics - 7 hours ago
The predominantly white neighborhoods outside Wisconsin’s largest city,
among the nation’s most racially segregated suburbs, could be a key part of
President Trump’s narrowing path to re-election.
Faux news has not broadcast the meaning of "Black Lives Matter".
It is a very loud statement of fact.

At the Supreme Court, a Farewell to Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg
Adam Liptak, NYT > U.S. > Politics - 7 hours ago
Over three days at the court and the Capitol, the nation will mourn and
celebrate a remarkable legacy.
Even Trump should know better than to rush the Supreme Court.

Aspirational Versus Servant Leaders
Ian Welsh, Ian Welsh - 7 hours ago
In my post on the death of Ruth Bader Ginsburg, I criticized her for not
resigning while Obama was President, when she was diagnosed with cancer in
2009. A few people were mightily offended, as I had anticipated. She was a
great person, and it was too soon, and so on. One person told me […]
Ian Welsh is a puritan.

How Republicans Are Trying to Use the Green Party to Their Advantage
Maggie Haberman, Danny Hakim and Nick Corasaniti, NYT > U.S. > Politics - 13 hours ago
The G.O.P. has sought to help Green Party candidates in previous election
cycles to siphon votes from Democrats. This year is no different — but it
hasn’t always worked.
This probably will not work.
This is make or break for the Republicans.

Cindy McCain Endorses Biden, Citing Trump’s Disparagement of Troops
Jonathan Martin, NYT > U.S. > Politics - 13 hours ago
The widow of Senator John McCain praised Joe Biden’s “character and
integrity” and noted that both he and her family had children who had
served in the military.
Trump is all front.

With Nothing Else Working, Trump Races to Make a New Supreme Court Justice the Issue
Peter Baker, NYT > U.S. > Politics - 14 hours ago
Even as he presses ahead, some Republicans wonder whether it would be
better to hold a confirmation vote before the election or start hearings
but leave the final vote until afterward.
Lame ducks should not make big decisions.
WoW! The Trump Justice may not be seated.
13
House Approves Short-Term Bill to Avoid a Shutdown
Emily Cochrane, NYT > U.S. > Politics - 15 hours ago
The measure would stave off a government shutdown, providing funding until
Dec. 11.
Trump may have shot himself in the foot.
No money will reach the public before inauguration day if the administration starts now.

The Russian Trolls Have a Simpler Job Today. Quote Trump.
David E. Sanger and Zolan Kanno-Youngs, NYT > U.S. > Politics - 16 hours ago
As part of their attempt to interfere with the 2020 election, Russians are
grabbing screenshots of President Trump’s tweets, or quoting his own
misleading statements, analysts and officials say.
Many people do not like rump oops Trump.

Michael S. Schmidt, NYT > U.S. > Politics - 17 hours ago

Sunday while trying to enter the United States from Canada.
"Stupidity carries a death penalty."
"If you intend to kill the king, you must not fail".

Michael D. Shear, NYT > U.S. > Politics - 18 hours ago
Olivia Troye, the latest Republican to leave the administration and speak
out against President Trump, called the statements seeking to undermine her
credibility “a bald faced lie.”
Speaking truth to power has never been comfortable.

Bloomberg and other big names step in to help ex-felons in Florida become eligible to vote.
Patricia Mazzei, NYT > U.S. > Politics - 19 hours ago
These are people and citizens.
