Incredible work on a horrifying situation.
These kids. Such badasses in a situation no college student should have to be in
Kudos to the Brown University students who are posting continuous live updates, spaced just minutes apart, on the campus shooting. A lot of grace and professionalism under immense pressure.

From New Jersey to Minnesota, from Georgia to Virginia, from Pennsylvania to California, Democrats have been overperforming in race after race all year. And tonight we added Florida and Georgia (again) to that list with margins that should set off alarm bells for Republicans everywhere.

Trump can go to Pennsylvania, mock the topic of affordability, lie that prices are way down, but that won’t change the trajectory. Holding a rally with supporters laughing along with him about affordability doesn’t make him look any less untethered from reality & the actual struggles of Americans.

Of course Trump would give the economy an A+ after he rigged it to enrich him, his family and billionaires...
But for the rest of America?
Higher utility bills.
Higher grocery bills.
Historically high mortgage rates.

That last point. Cassidy really has enormous leverage if he wants to use it. He would win this fight. Worst case is he winds up losing a primary and spends his 70s (he's 68 now) as a hero to millions. He'll likely never have as much influence over anything again as he has over this right now.
ACIP may end universal Hep B vaccination today.
Hep B prevention is Cassidy's passion, as he made clear during RFK Jr's confirmation hearings.
But let's not forget... his vote to confirm RFK Jr. got us into this mess!
He needs to use every lever of power he has in the Senate to fix it.

Trump and Republicans promised to lower costs on day one—and as we can see, that was a lie. Prices shot up, and health care will spike again because they refuse to extend the ACA credits.
Now they claim “affordability” is a con job. Since when is feeding your family or seeing a doctor a scam?

Republicans are going to win #TN07 by about 9 points. Which is 12 points less than the margin by which they won the district the last two House elections.
Like I mentioned, there are 117 Republicans who represent districts they'd lose if their races swung 12 points left.
