This Hump Day is all about a Grand Bargain. You just click every link in the round up, and we promise to make it the weekend in a couple days. The choice is yours.

Beggars Can Be Choosers: The U.S. social safety net is not some lavish group of programs, regardless what the GOP thinks.

Joe Gandelman: The GOP can
fret over Liz Cheney all they want, but she's what they've been working toward for years.

Finally, let us appreciate when some much-needed justice is meted out.
