Connecticut is seeing an early and sharp flu surge. Confirmed cases jumped from about 250 last December to more than 1,800 so far this year. Health officials warn a more aggressive strain is spreading and urge residents to get vaccinated.

Mercedes cheated emissions tests, and we held them accountable. Connecticut led 50 attorneys general in securing a nearly $150 million settlement. Our state will receive almost $5 million, consumers will get repairs, warranties, and payments.

WARNING: Be extremely careful what you post next year for during the mid-terms. AI generated slop from Senate Republicans are so desperate to win, I would expect more of this type of slop all over social media. Mills is the current Governor of ME running to replace pearl clutching Susan Collins.

The problem with this piece, like all the other pieces, is that the missing hed, dek, & lede is that all of this was wildly illegal, unconstitutional, & criminal. This is how you normalize lawless authoritarianism - treat like just another story in our politics. “Transformation” is lazy euphemism.
This WaPo piece weaves together an incredibly powerful story about the way Trump has devastated government and the dedicated people who wake up every day to serve the public. wapo.st/4b14KAy
The year Trump broke the federal government
How DOGE and the White House carried out a once-unthinkable transformation of the nation’s sprawling bureaucracy.

So, you ask, if they can’t just do a simple thing like release the files as the law requires, how can we trust them to do hard things like run the economy and keep us safe?
The answer, of course, is that we can’t. We can never trust they can and will do the right thing.

If you're a Republican wanting to return to Congress after the mid-term in November, tonight is probably the time where many have made their decision to retire. Expect more news in the coming weeks of retirements or resignations.
Tonight, Donald Trump tried to sell us all a shit sandwich, desperate to convince the American people that he isn't a complete and utter failure.
He’s lost the economy. He’s lost his mind. And next year, he’s going to lose the midterms.

He's lying. How do we know?
Because they released the Sept 2nd video already!! Just not the part where they illegally killed the survivors. There's nothing "top secret" about the second strike if there wasn't anything top secret about the first one.

Private equity firms are rapidly consolidating control over the youth sports industry, leaving families with higher prices and fewer choices for their children. If we continue down this path, we will exclude children based not on their talent or interest, but on their ability to pay.

Here is a clear explanation of what happened in today's meeting. Thank you Sen. Murphy for explaining what is going on in the Caribbean is most likely illegal and I would think puts Rubio and Hegseth in the future in impeachment hearings. Don't take your eyes of of the mid-term elections!
I just came out of the briefing with Sec. Rubio and Sec. Hegseth on the military strikes in the Caribbean and Eastern Pacific. Here's what I learned.
Bottom line: there is no legal or national security justification for what they're doing. Not even close.

This failure helped fuel a nationwide spike in auto thefts and reckless joy riding that threatened public safety.

Chris Whipple at Vanity Fair did shockingly little pushback - this was the only place he intervened at all and it was far too little, as you say. And he seamlessly goes on to gush about Wiles' loyalty to her team, Stephen Miller, Dan Scavino and Taylor Budowich, without noting their roles in Jan 6.
Wiles gives Whipple dirt on Rubio, Vance, Musk, but is loyal to HER team: Miller, Scavino, Budowich. Whipple mildly fact-checks her trying to whitewash Jan 6, but doesn't note: her team ARE Jan 6ers. Miller wrote the J6 speech. Scavino sent the first J6 announcement. Budowich arranged the funds. 3/
