 | Congressman Underwood, Zooey Barnes is on line one. |  | Where left and right meet. Paul on drones. |  | Rand Paul ended a dramatic, old-fashioned filibuster early Thursday morning having held the floor for 13 hours to rail against the administration's drone program. The internet responded with pee jokes. |  | "Twitter is woven through the DNA of this filibuster, taking an obscure legislative process into the public space," says Wilson. |  | Congress is magical! |  | "One of my favorite things about being in D.C. is being able to see things like this in person," one late-night audience member said. |  | "To allege that ... our government would drop a drone hellfire missile on Jane Fonda ... that brings the conversation from a serious discussion about U.S. policy to the realm of the ridiculous." |  | He needed to use the bathroom. |  | Local communities prepare for the automatic federal budget cuts. |  | Rep. Sean Duffy will chop right into your heart. |  | Rand Paul's filibuster made for strange bedfellows in the punditocracy. Here's a breakdown ranked from most supportive of Rand to least. |  | Just one Dem participated in Rand Paul's thirteen-hour filibuster against drone strikes. The defense: "A distraction" that just "didn't feel like a constructive venue." |  | Jeff Merkley (D-Ore.) will vote against Obama's pick for the top CIA spot. But the advocate of the old-fashioned filibuster didn't join in Wednesday because Obama deserves "timely up-or-down votes," his press secretary says. |  | "This is an issue that does get people together who believe in liberty – on the left and right." |  | A new ad from the Coalition for Medicare Choices, an industry-backed group, groups ObamaCare's cuts to the Medicare Advantage program with the sequester, and urges seniors to call Senators Chuck Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrand. The ad begins airing tomorrow, a source says. | |
