Tonight's preview: Markup Wars

Tonight, expect dramatic showdowns and furious back-room negotiations from your elected officials. Some of it will be fraught with sexual tension masquerading as ideological piety, and some of it will probably be due to drugs. As for me? I might just make myself a Negroni and watch everything go down.


Armed Services: Democrats are expected to combine Charlie's Act and the ADONIS Act, creating an Armed Services omnibus bill for the floor. Expect contention from the committee's Republicans. I'm looking at you, Chambliss and Graham.

HELP: The Committee continues to work on the CAP and GOWN Act and CARA, which would increase funding for autism programs. Remember, every amendment that the Republicans strike from these bills, is a symbolic strike against our children. That's right, the Republicans are striking your children.

As always, I'll be bringing live coverage and commentary of tonight's events.
