Under Snowpocalypse Watch, again. Greg Dworkin rounds up the news on the Republican debt ceiling collapse (and the wacky process used to pass it), and triggers the Political Misrepresentation Early Warning System with the latest study on mammograms and cancer outcomes. Joan McCarter fills us in on pre-recess Congressional hijinx.

Ad wars: Kochs vs insurers. And Chris Christie makes a first, furtive play for the Gop's basest base. GunFAIL update: MT & SC. Surprise! 1980s clinic bomber turns up again, as child molester. More on Postal banking: what could President Obama be doing that so far, he's just... not?
