US Politics....
Thune/Nelson letter to Equifax: The nature of the information..compromised..requires that we regard this..as a major data security breach
Qatar says phone call between Sheikh Tamim and Prince Mohammed was coordinated by Trump, envoys will be named discuss the dispute —QNA
US is readying diplomatic and military moves against NK including cyberattacks & increased surveillance and intelligence operations
This could also include inspection of ships arriving and leaving North Korea.
Good read-if anything , eliminating trade w/ North Korea may also eliminate influence of trade partners like China.

Qatar donates $30m to help Hurricane Harvey victims in Texas, the largest contribution from a foreign government http://aje.io/jxwfg
In 2017 , no excuses for breaches like this to occur. Ever.
This is so absolutely infuriating. How are organizations handling this volume of sensitive data this incompetent?
White House announces Cabinet and their spouses will be at Camp David this weekend. Trump will hold his 4th Cabinet meeting on Saturday.
House passes bill 316-90, raising debt ceiling, keeps government open and Hurricane aide. First Trump deal irritates his base, pleases Dems
Dems will continue to have leverage for Dec showdown over gov't shutdown/debt limit. Will insist on DACA. Still no border wall $
GOP has 240-194 seat Hse majority. But always must turn to Dems to lift debt limit/avoid gov't shutdown.
Dem IL Rep Gutierrez threatens gov't shutdown in Dec unless DACA is fixed. Says Dems hold the votes. Today's vote proved that.
Gutierrez: 90 GOPers turned their back on..continued funding of gov't. There is no opening of the government unless Dems cooperate

Spain..
Given Constitutional Court orders and criminal charges filed by prosecutor, Catalan government cannot provide legal guarantees for BCN.
Mayor of Barcelona says she wants Catalan government to explain "actions it has planned to guarantee security of public workers".
Spanish government spokesman says no one should be surprised if the government enforces the law.
Spanish government spokesman says Catalan police, the Mossos, act "for all Catalans, they are not just police for the secessionists".
