Here’s what we’re reading this morning at Moyers & Company HQ…

Day 15…

• Parameters of a Senate deal to lift the debt limit and open up the government are coming together, and The Hill has the details.
• Alec MacGillis writes at TNR that the real winners are K Street lobbyists.
• Salon’s Brian Beutler thinks the Dems won one for the unions.
• Martin Longman says that House Dems are getting jammed along with their GOP counterparts, but the deal’s nothing to complain about.
• Meanwhile, at Red State, Erick Erickson is calling out the flying monkeys threatening House Republicans who might support the deal with grassroots pressure and primaries from the right.
• Yesterday, NRO’s Robert Costa wrote about the divided and dispirited GOP caucus. This morning, he reports that House conservatives are in full “revolt.”
• Politico’s Roger Simon on the racism that bubbled up at this weekend’s “one million vets” march, which featured Ted Cruz and Sarah Palin.
• Ryan Cooper writes at the Wapo that the march was wacky but also significant.
• In case you missed it on Friday, a fascinating story of the shutdown’s effect on North Carolina — and the divide it is creating in a very conservative community — by Paul Lewis in The Guardian.
• The White House Press corps had a fainting spell over the administration’s use of the word “ransom.” TPM’s Josh Marshall says the false equivalence brigade has reached “peak derp.”
