The Opposition
Senate Democrats have a rare chance to force Republican concessions in the government funding battle, but fear of political blame looms large.

Plus, the Spiel on a subway shooting that occurred because of threat to public safety, but which the NY Times continues to frame as an example of overly aggressive crackdown on fare evasion.
