Wednesday Morning Open Thread

Good morning.

The President is speaking to the General Assembly of the United Nations today. And, he's got bilateral meetings with the leaders of Japan and Russia. So, another day of foreign policy in NYC.

In DC, there's a hearing on the Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA) before the House Education and Labor Committee. We'll be monitoring that hearing at AMERICAblog Gay.

On the Senate side, the Finance Committee is continuing its mark-up of the Baucus bill. There are some Democrats who are still trying to turn that bill into something workable. It's a heavy lift, but there are some Senators who are trying. The Wonk Room is tracking the hearing.

So, lots going on...
