A couple things from Rogan's list today.

1. Unless Congress acts soon, the government will once again face a shutdown this Friday.  While there are efforts being made on an omnibus spending bill that would take us through the fiscal year instead of these weeks-long spending bills we’ve been seeing, there is much dissention about what should or should not be in the bill.  Since the House Freedom Caucus is probably not going to support this bill, Democratic votes are needed, and we should insist that an amendment supporting Mueller's investigation be added.

2. The Senate will convene at 3pm on Monday to consider the motion to proceed to H.R.1865, the Allow States and Victims to Fight Online Sex Trafficking Act of 2017. This bill has already passed in the House. Let's recall that HR1865 has opposition from support groups and workers in this industry as we can read here.  If we have concerns about this bill, now is the time to tell our Senators.

3. It's spring!  Get ready for some (March) marches.
