Bone up before the debate: How well do you know the Democrats running to take the Oval Office from Trump's lil' baby gremlin hands? Could you tell them apart from, say, a rando stock photo? I bet you can't. The Guardian has this fun quiz, "Can you tell difference between these Democratic hopefuls and random people posing in stock photos?" Take it and see. I got 7/9.

Not a great start for Hickenlooper: And, as you'll remember, he has more name recognition than Inslee.

There's a sewage overflow at the water at Golden Gardens Park, and city officials are asking people not to swim, wade, or fish in the area until the water is safe to enter.

US House approves $4.5 billion border funding bill: CBS News is calling it a win for Pelosi, but it will trigger a showdown in the Senate. Trump has also said he will veto the bill even if it somehow manages to pass McConnell's chamber. While the bill passed 230-195, four progressive Democrats, including Reps.

US Education Secretary says education is not a priority: Secretary Betsy DeVos said in an interview Wednesday that "education clearly has not been at the top of [Trump's] list of priorities," reports Politico. "But he has been very supportive of all the work that weā€™ve done,ā€ DeVos continued.
