“The deterioration of Congress’s capacity to actually engage in traditional lawmaking creates the situation we’re in,” Jamelle Bouie says in a round table discussion. The ensuing shutdown deadlines become “the terrain for gamesmanship, maneuvering and tactical nonsense.”

Banksy’s latest piece shows a judge beating a protester. They rushed to throw up barriers to hide it.
