In yesterday's #12 Occasional Reader said: I had dinner last week at the home of two longtime friends, both are also longtime Democrats; the woman (whom I've known longer, I know the husband only through her) is a former White House correspondent, and was a big fan of Bubba Clinton. Both readily agreed that NPR was now just too embarrassingly partisan for (even) them to listen to. 
That's probably the best news I've heard all week.

Proof-of-citizenship voting bill push could threaten government shutdown

Lawmakers on both sides of the aisle have acknowledged a stopgap of some kind, also known as a continuing resolution (CR), will be necessary to keep the government funded past Sept. 30.

But calls are growing among House conservatives to use that must-pass measure to force consideration of a partisan bill aimed at barring noncitizens from voting — laying the groundwork for a clash with the Democratic-led Senate, which would likely reject such a package.

I think that in response, as the meme goes,  "Bibi be like..."
