At the Central Pennsylvania Clinic in Belleville — the heart of the measles outbreak — a sign tells anyone with symptoms to return to their car and call the office. Many people here don’t have a car or a cellphone. For them, the sign has a different request:

He's tackled 🎣some pretty weighty decisions as an Appropriator and Cardinal. But he's not out of the woods until he's picked a winner. 🌲 WATCH: Chairman @CongMikeSimpson makes his #FatBearWeek pick! 👇

It is true that Cindy Hyde-Smith always refuses to answer reporters' questions. I don't remember her ever answering a question at the Capitol.

🚨EXCLUSIVE @MSNOWNews >>> Top @TheJusticeDept leader warned prosecutors would be fired to refusing to pursue election fraud cases. It has folks fearing WH will push bogus election cases to cast doubt on midterms w @KDilanianMSNOW ms.now/news/top-doj-official…

Gas tax suspension? Nope. Year-round E-15? Not anytime soon. Export ban? Too interventionist. So many GOP ideas to address rising gas prices, all languishing. And then there's Rand Paul's suggestion: "End the war in Iran." ms.now/news/republicans-stra…

I want to commend Chairman Boozman for his work on the Farm Bill. As a member of the Agriculture Committee since my first day in the United States Senate, I was proud to vote yes on the Farm Bill on behalf of the hardworking farm families across Kentucky. America’s farmers are the cornerstone of our nation and the backbone of Kentucky’s economy and I wish our Democrat colleagues would have joined Republicans supporting the many important provisions in this Farm Bill. My hope is the bill receives robust bipartisan support on the Senate floor and demonstrates our commitment to our Nation’s farmers and rural communities. @SenateAgGOP

New: As Republicans brush off Trump’s pledge to “cheat like hell” in the midterms, the WH is ramping up its efforts to undermine confidence in elections. Ed Martin, who is helping Trump w/ midterms, tells me he’s prepared to challenge any future election. “For someone like me, it doesn’t matter who’s running, doesn’t matter whether it’s ‘28 or ‘32 or ‘30,” Martin said.

This is pretty crazy: Russia's FSB tried to kill someone **in Washington, DC** within the last two weeks or so, per the DoJ

Not a Clickhole quote:

After Senate Republican negotiators made more than 125 substantive changes at the request of Democrats, there's still a refusal to take "yes" for an answer.
