Trump's been up and tweeting this morning about the Trump Tax Cuts (For Rich People Only), throwing out bullshit numbers on how much the economy will grow if we lower corporate tax rates.

Believe it or not, there are a few Republicans trying not to piss all over Dreamers and they're willing to cut deals with Democrats. One can only hope.

In what can only be described as a resurrection of the #FailWhale, Twitter will let Marsha Blackburn keep her fucked up campaign ad after all, "after reconsidering the ad in the context of the entire message."
A series of shady stock transactions suddenly ran right before Labor Day, and now the AFL-CIO wants the SEC to investigate Navient, the massive student loan giant, because it's too coincidental for those trades to go down right as the Education Department announced it wouldn't be policing loan companies like Navient.
Conservative lobbying groups are going all out with robo-calls and ads in an attempt to scare/shame voters away from Danica Roem, who could be Virginia's first openly transgender elected official.

Butthurt over the bad press, the head of the national sportsball league sent a letter to all 32 teams asking to "move past this controversy...to honor our flag and country," which Trump promptly latched on to, threatening to revoke the now non-existent tax breaks that the sportsball league used to have. Meanwhile, team owners are quietly mumbling about their next moves.
Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama have mean words about super rich pervert Harvey Weinstein; so of course the GOP made an attack video as if that video of Trump grabbing pussies didn't exist.
Caterpillar enthusiast and former Chicago Bears coach Mike Ditka went on a radio show and bitched about all the sportsballers who keep protesting the national anthem to show their solidarity in opposing police brutality and racism by actually saying, "There has been no oppression in the last 100 years that I know of...Now Maybe I'm not watching it as carefully as other people."
