The Senate Democratic freshman class has the potential to be a crazy interesting group - forget ideology, just a bunch of wildly different (but compelling) characters. El-Sayed, Talarico, Flanagan, Cooper, Hamilton, Jackson...would be a helluva Real World house.
Y’all aren’t ready for the world where 1/3 of Senate Dems are from Trump states.
So much power to accomplish things with, and yet inevitably so much lefty whining when the various double-digit Trump state Dems/Indies break with the party non-stop.

The NYC subway (and all major subway systems across the world) are, to me, peak civilizational achievements.
Nearly 4.7 million people rode the subway yesterday, a new post-pandemic record!
The subway is New York City’s lifeblood, and our investments in safety and reliability are paying off.

Ben Rice just clubbed his 40th homer. The only other Yankee to have a 40-HR season in their first 3 big league seasons are Joe DiMaggio and Aaron Judge.

The White House plan to create a commission that could veto NIH grants appears to be dead, for now. But that doesn't mean Trump officials have abandoned their quest to "tighten their grip over federal research spending."

"Can you imagine going from a monthly premium of zero to $850?"
That's what happened to Dina Rose Friedman, 64, after Republicans in Congress took away the ACA tax credits that kept her coverage affordable.
"I remember freaking out."

More bad polling for Trump, from @KFF and @AP:
"Only 17% of the voters said the Trump administration’s healthcare policies have had a `positive impact' on their healthcare costs."
41% said "no impact." 41% said "negative impact."

There is something so unbelievably bleak about an article that calmly walks readers through how to navigate being laid off after 50, losing your health insurance, and somehow surviving the years until Medicare. What a broken country.

First Republicans stripped Medicaid from millions. Then they let premiums spike for millions more. Now JD Vance is using claims of "fraud" to take coverage from hundreds of thousands more.
People losing health care isn't a bug, it's their plan.
Exclusive: Vice President JD Vance’s antifraud task force is set to remove hundreds of thousands people from the Affordable Care Act’s public exchanges, saying those enrollees don’t meet eligibility requirements or don’t exist at all on.wsj.com/4dSTFSH
