So, the latest is that Trump might cave and sign a Wall-free budget extension. All that "I'll never sign another one of these if it doesn't include the wall!" stuff he was saying probably was just bluster, like usual...
May he continue to not get his wall, because it's totally unnecessary and would only exist to make the environment worse and Trump's ego better.
In other news, Bruce Poliquin lost the previous round of his suit against the election results in Maine district 2, as the (Trump-appointed!) judge rejected his suit against ranked choice voting. Poliquin reacted by ending his call for a full recount, which is interesting, but also suing to block the election results from being confirmed as he appeals the decision: https://www.pressherald.com/2018/12/18/i...as-winner/ because he's a sore loser who is unwilling to admit that he actually lost, which he did. Fortunately he probably won't have much more of a chance of winning in higher courts than he did at the last one.
