The government shutdown rolls on, but Congress is at least working on new ways to fund the military — with one noticeable exception: not paying the troops during a shutdown.

There was a clear display on Tuesday of the difference between having an attorney general dedicated to public service versus one who’s more interested in being a toadie. Wisconsin’s Josh Kaul has decided to pursue a third term rather than running for governor. Contrast his work to hold the Trump administration accountable to the juvenile […]
