    SCOOP: The Democratic Party plans to add an addendum to contracts with consultants that would forbid them from any — really, any — anti-union activity. I got the doc, which comes after reports that Dem pollster GSG aided Amazon's union-busting efforts:

    Tonight, I asked Scott Perry (R-Pa.) about effect of fed employees being furloughed. He argued it had no real impact since employees eventually get paid back. "Who’s living that they’re not going to make it to the next paycheck?"
