Good Morning, it’s Wednesday, 25 October 2017 and this is the morning edition of The Nightshift.
Senator Jeff Flake (R-Arizona) has announced that he will not seek re-election in the 2018 elections. Flake made the announcement in a scathing speech delivered on the Senate floor, in which he denounced in very strong terms the leadership and character of President Trump. Flake joins Senator Bob Corker (R-Tennessee), who had previously announced that he would not seek re-election and who is also a blistering critic of the President. The question now: how many other republicans will break from the ineffectual “Republican pack” and try to get the government headed in the right direction.
The Washington Post has reported that the Clinton campaign and the DNC participated in the funding of the scandalous “Trump Dossier”. Another Washington hot mess, this time coming from the Democrats.

The Daily Grope: Leon Weiseltier, an editor at The New Republic, admitted to inappropriate behavior while working at that publication and paid an immediate and heavy price: a new publication he was planning, backed by Laurene Powell Jobs, the widow of Apple Computer founder Steve Jobs, and funded through her Emerson Collective for-profit organization, lost the funding and the plug has been pulled on the enterprise, effectively killing it.
The Los Angeles Dodgers beat the Houston Astros 3-1 last night in one of the shortest World Series games on record. The teams play again tonight in Los Angeles.
