Breaking: H.R.-1 aka The For The People Act, which includes electoral reform has passed the House in a party line vote. Even tho McConnell has denounced this and the GOP Sen are going nuts, this is a BIG deal. Thank you #116thCongress & @SpeakerPelosi ! thehill.com/homenews/house…
2- Note that this is the bill that McConnell has said he won't allow a vote on, saying "Because I get to decide what we vote on.” as his reasoning. This won't be McConnell's last act of obstructionism, but hopefully the one that tanks him. #FridayFeeling politico.com/story/2019/03/…
3- This from yesterday @ McConnell's efforts to block this bill. Seems that the ONLY way the GOP can win any election is with gerrymandering and other forms of election tampering & that's what this is about for McConnell! thehill.com/homenews/senat…

With regard to many people assuming that Manafort is just waiting for a Trump pardon, here's some good perspective about why that most likely won't happen: #FridayFeeling
thehill.com/opinion/white-…
2-There's much more to this than meets the eye: "After a pardon, Manafort will almost immediately be subpoenaed to testify before a grand jury about Trump and other Trump associates and will be forced under law to tell the whole truth without any protection from the
3-"Fifth Amendment or any other law. A Manafort pardon will therefore provide no legal protection for Trump, which his lawyers have almost certainly told him."

Breaking: Bill Shine, formerly of Fox News and Trump's most recent WH Communications Director has resigned his position at the WH in order to work as Comms Dir for the Trump Campaign. #FridayFeeling
2-Bill Shine's abrupt departure from the WH has me wondering-after the New Yorker pc @ the Fox/Trump connection & the DNC's announcement yest that Fox won't be permitted to conduct any Dem primary debates-is the WH trying to distance itself from Fox publicly now? Could be!
3-NYT is saying that Shine is being kept on the campaign as a Sr Adv 'in a face saving move'. This is what Trump does when he fires ppl and doesn't want them to talk, puts em on the campaign with a 15K/mo salary-something tells me that more will be revealed @ this. And soon

@glennkirschner2 just said ..."Thank goodness, Amy Berman Jackson is the Federal Judge sitting on the bench in DC and she can now clean this up" as usual, Glenn's exactly right. She's the judge who put Manafort in jail 9 mos ago, he won't get away with this on March 13th.
2- Here's sketch of Manafort from court this afternoon.
Ellis banned laptops and cell phones from the court room, so this is the best that we can do.
*Credit goes to Josh Lederman of NBC News for the above sketch.

.@senatemajldr has doubled down on his falsehoods and inaccuracies about H.R. 1, the "For the People Act" (which he derisively calls the Democrat Politician Protection Act), this time in response to a @heraldleader Op-Ed. Senator, you *really* need an Election Law lesson. 1/
He says Framers of our "Constitution... gave states the responsibility to administer elections." He's leaving out a crucial part of Article I, Section 4: states determine the "Times, Places and Manner" -->"but the Congress may at any time by Law make or alter such Regulations"2/
That is, the Constitution *explicitly provides* for Congress to regulate elections. It's how Congress passed the National Voter Registration Act (Motor Voter) and the Help America Vote Act of 2002. 3/

The Indian Supreme court today is hearing petitions challenging the "constitutionality" of Section 377 of IPC that outlaws homosexuality

One of the key points of the petitioners is that the law is quaint and smacks of "Victorian morality"

But what exactly is Victorian morality?
There is a tendency in our times to use words unthinkingly. The term "Victorian" is one such word, which has lost nearly all of its original import.

Today anyone who is prudish, conservative or "old fashioned" so to speak is labeled "Victorian"
The term Victorian as we know strictly refers to the era in history between 1837 and 1901 - a 64 year old period when Queen Victoria was the monarch of Great Britain.

"Treat him fairly" are the words I'm assuming he used...
