Quote of the Day

“Even though Bill Cassidy lost his primary, he is still a voting member of the Senate until January. There are still many, many weeks — many months — to go before the election. And this president is going to have to continue to deal — and work with and partner with or battle with — this group of lawmakers. Maybe he doesn’t think he needs us. But I don’t know, last time I checked, the laws don’t just appear before his desk to sign. The funding just doesn’t come.”

— Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-AK), quoted by Politico.
