1. I saw her on with Tweety yesterday, and Claire McCaskill last night on Lawrence O'Donnell.

Jeanne Shaheen and Barb Boxer are also on it. They are drafting legislation to take away convening authority from commanders in sexual assault cases, so they are messing with the UCMJ, which is a big deal.

2. K&R for more attention here on DU. n/t
