Water water everywhere...

Water everywhere is the problem in Louisiana. Not a drop of it to drink is the problem in Flint, Michigan.  It's all one unbroken sea of trouble in Washington today where the Senate is voting on the continuing resolution that will keep the government operating and, more importantly, could fund efforts to deal with both issues. But.. well...

On Tuesday, both sides still maintained that the other was "playing politics" by holding up a stop-gap funding measure that would prevent a government shutdown on Sept. 30. The bill is scheduled to be taken up for a procedural motion on the Senate Tuesday afternoon, but Democrats and Republicans continued to signal that no consensus had been reached Tuesday morning.

And, just as I'm typing this, it looks like the latest attempt to pass something has failed.

Senate CR with #laflood is blocked (unable to get 60 votes) after Dems say they won't vote for bill that includes #laflood but not Flint.

Ideally we would find the money to deal with both of these humanitarian crises. But.. well...
