A Must See Documentary About North Korea. Especially Today.
CNN’s Will Ripley, Tim Schwarz and Justin Robertson visited North Korea in June and spent 15 days there.

Florida Has Gone To Hell In A Handbasket
Florida Power and Light's grid did not fare well under Hurricane Irma, despite the company's assurances that it had spent billions hardening its systems after 90% of its customers lost power to 2005's Hurricane Wilma.
But one thing has changed since 2005: solar. Many of the FPL customers who are living through dangerous heat without power now have solar panels on their roofs that could keep them going while FPL repairs its infrastructure. Except doing so is illegal, thanks to FPL's lobbyists, who literally ghost-wrote much of Florida's dreadful solar rules.



There are only two forces that can carry light to all the corners of the globe, only two. The sun in the heavens and The Associated Press down here." -- Mark Twain, speaking in 1906, 111 years ago today

Aside from Sean Spicer, Anthony Scaramucci, Reince Priebus, Steve Bannon, his two ex-wives, and that one daughter he never talks about. Aside from that, he never betrays anybody. - James Corden

I'm still with her

Clinton: Trump poses 'clear and president danger' to US
..."I'm hoping that on the really big issues there's enough authority to be able to restrain and contain the president. That's what we all have to hope because I think this president and some of the people around him pose a clear and present danger to our country," Clinton told MSNBC's Rachel Maddow.


Hillary Clinton could stand in the middle of 5th Avenue and do nothing, and they would say she shot somebody. - Randi Mayem Singer

In response to the sanctions, North Korea threatened to cause the United States "the greatest pain and suffering it has gone through in its entire history." I hate to break it to you, we already kind of did that to ourselves back in November. - Jimmy Kimmel


Trump Bans Russian Software Company
Eugene Kaspersky has denied that the cyber-security firm he founded is close to the Russian government and insists it poses no danger to its American customers.
Mr Kaspersky told the BBC that the Trump administration's move to ban government agencies from using his products was an "uncomfortable situation". The US has said it is concerned that Kaspersky is vulnerable to influence from the Kremlin.










White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said today that "President Trump has done more for bipartisanship in the past eight days than President Obama did in eight years." Catch more of Sarah's comedy in her new Netflix special,"Chucklebee." - Seth Myers

Lobbyists now can make anonymous donations to the legal defense funds of WH officials? What could be swampier? - David Axelrod



Obviously, Trump Has Never Watched Hurricane Coverage Until Irma
President Trump said on Thursday that he did not know hurricanes could be rated as high as a Category 5 after his visit to Florida, which is reeling from Hurricane Irma's devastation. 
"I never even knew a category five existed," the president told reporters at the White House. 






Florida Had The Chance To Protect Nursing Homes And Didn't
In the aftermath of 2005’s destructive Hurricane Wilma, Florida lawmakers approved laws to protect motorists at risk of getting stranded on the interstate, and residents of new high-rises who can’t climb stairs.
Proposed at the same time: a bill that would have required some nursing homes to have generators to protect frail elders from the ravages of heat and dehydration.
The bill died.



The White House announced today that President Trump will sign a resolution passed by Congress that condemns white supremacists. Oh, I can see it now, "Okay, Donald J. Trunch. What? I signed it, I signed it." - Seth Myers
