Some good news to ponder on and one thing to consider.

There has been some good news to relay.

A federal court told the Trump Administration that it had to enforce Obama era environmental regulations on methane.

Another federal court told the North Carolina state government that their district lines have to be redrawn because of racial gerrymandering.

A Bipartisan group of Senators, piggy backing on the bipartisan group of representatives, has decided to work together on a plan to stabilize and enact common sense reforms to Obamacare.

There is also something to consider.

Japan and India are discussing setting up their own version of a Twenty First Century Silk Road to rival the one China is developing. The United States used to be a leader in global trade. the withdrawal from TPP makes us less so and makes our rivals stronger. That is something we should consider.
