The Senate has voted to “go nuclear” and eliminate the filibuster for President Donald Trump’s Supreme Court nominee and future court picks. The move came Thursday afternoon after Democrats blocked the nomination of Neil Gorsuch. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell raised a point of order to change the rules “under the precedent set on Nov. 21, 2013,” when Senate Democrats who were then in the majority made the same move for lower court and executive branch nominations. Such action has been called “the nuclear option” because of its probable impact on Senate traditions of bipartisanship.
A 3D-printed device is helping amputees swim again, "Today" reported.
After losing part of his left leg in Afghanistan, Dan Lasko, a former United States Marine, never thought he'd be able to swim the way he used to — until coming across "The Fin," a 3D-printed device that can be attached to his prosthetic leg, allowing him to swim the way he could before his injury.
Before using The Fin, Lasko would have to take his prosthetic leg off before swimming. Without any good prosthetics, it was easier for him to swim without his. But with The Fin, he's been able to swim so hard that the device slipped off his leg and had to be reattached.

"It's kind of like having my leg back," Lasko said. "As I kick, I can feel the propulsion of the water. It feels very free."
