THE FIFTH CHECKS AND BALANCE
Tampa Wins…ALCS Tied 1-1…GameThree this Thursday in Cleveland
Tampa pretty much had to have this game tonight. They certainly didn’t want to head to Ohio down two games with the next three in Cleveland. Good pitching and an unfortunate error led them to victory. We had a pitching duel this evening until the bottom of the fourth. Junior Caminero led off with a walk for the Rays and was forced out at second on a grounder by Victor Mesa. With two outs Chandler Simpson beat out an infield single with Mesa making it to third base. Ben Wiliam

Trump Childcare Plan Could Open Federal Support to Stay-at-Home Parents in Major Pro-Family Shift.
WASHINGTON — The Trump administration is reportedly considering a major change to federal childcare policy that could allow some married couples with a stay-at-home parent to receive support from a program long aimed at helping low- and moderate-income parents pay for outside childcare while they work, attend school or receive job training.

Minneapolis Shooting Raises Hard Questions After Suspect Was Reportedly Known to Police

Authorities said police entered the building, heard gunshots,
Gloria Steinem, Pat Buchanan and the Anti-WTO Warning Washington Ignored

But buried beneath the predictable memorial language is a political lesson Washington would rather not revisit: even Steinem once stood on the same side of a historic economic fight as Pat Buchanan.

ALBANY, N.Y. — New York Gov.
