In other news, ABC News reports that the House Republican tax cut bill will indeed lower the cap on 401(K) savings and eliminate SALT deductions.

Finally, Trump is privately blaming his son-in-law Jared Kushner for most of his problems now according to Vanity Fair.

Speaking to Steve Bannon on Tuesday, Trump blamed Jared Kushner for his role in decisions, specifically the firings of Mike Flynn and James Comey, that led to Mueller’s appointment, according to a source briefed on the call. When Roger Stone recently told Trump that Kushner was giving him bad political advice, Trump agreed, according to someone familiar with the conversation. “Jared is the worst political adviser in the White House in modern history,” Nunberg said. “I’m only saying publicly what everyone says behind the scenes at Fox News, in conservative media, and the Senate and Congress.” (The White House didn’t respond to a request for comment by deadline.)

Programming note... I'll be offline for most of the day if not the full day tomorrow. I have errands to run in the morning and I have a ticket for Thor: Ragnarok at 6 pm.
