Nothing is permanent in Washington, D.C. except for one thing: nothing is permanent! What is happening today regarding the Schumer Shutdown confirms it once more. However, as we consider our important stories of the week, it may be possible that as you read this “Bullet Point” missive, we may have a bridge to throw away
