Here's another angle from Fox News reporter Bill Melugin of Sen. Alex Padilla getting roughed up by law enforcement after he tries to question Kristi Noem at her presser:
“I’m Senator Alex Padilla. I have questions for the secretary. Because the fact of the matter is, a half dozen... Hands off!”

Schumer needs to go..
This is all true, but also it's Classic The Democrats in that it's a lot of work for a bit of wonkish political theater that is basically impossible to understand even if you pay a lot of attention to this stuff. And I have to say, I love that.
“we get a standalone vote on an amendment that will 100% fail so that we can pretend we tried” is maybe the single most infuriating “tactic” Dems use and exhibit A in why Schumer needs to go
embarrassing and disqualifying

Today, two local men were either seized by the Department of Homeland Security or abducted by imposters, but there seems to be no way to know which is the case, because both have the same MO. dailyprogress.com/news/local/c...

When the fuck will Dems wake up and choose younger, more able reps ? Durbin, Schumer, et al need to be ushered out asap. Just stupid
How Durbin plans to decide on another term:
"Whether I'm still physically able, mentally able to deal with the issues. This press conference is an indication that I still have my wits about me. And when it comes to the physical side of it, up and moving around, taking nourishment."

New FEC filing shows that #ILSen Dick Durbin, who still hasn't confirmed whether he'll seek reelection next year, raised less than $43,000 in the first quarter of the year docquery.fec.gov/cgi-bin/form...

Has any reporter asked Rubio if he takes a knee before Beattie in meetings?
Beattie wrote in one tweet, “Competent white men must be in charge if you want things to work." Beattie repeatedly said Black lawmakers, policymakers, and groups need to “learn” their place and take “a knee to MAGA.”

A thing I haven't seen one journalist call out is that when Trump says Mexico and Canada have treated the US unfairly as a trading partner, he's implicitly conceding that the USMCA that he trumpeted as a major success of his first term, must have been, in actuality, a total failure.

As usual, Trans is right. Nothing about these fires is uninsurable. What makes events uninsurable is a potential loss that is too large as a proportion of overall reinsurance capital (probably around 3/4 of a $T today). $100B of insured losses is totally manageable today and this is not near that.
What's ironic about the breathless takes in the press claiming insurers are running away from CA because it's uninsurable due to catastrophe risk and the market is permanently broken because yadda yadda yadda is that they could have just asked the insurers (note: the date on the State Farm release).

Yes. See also the entire friggin leadership. Schumer, durbin, pelosi all past when they should be leaders and into elder statesman territory.
Democrats are just incredibly, self-defeatingly bad about challenging their too-old members.
Multiple members ran for re-election this year despite being visibly ailing. One (Bill Pascrell) died after the primary - he was seeking a new term at age 87.

79-year-old congressman David Scott has missed two weeks of votes due to back pain. He was just reelected to his 13th term in Congress.

What's with all these folks publicly begging for this job? Ok it comes with some reputational uplift, but most of them are reasonably well known and the economic benefit (ex-ability to avoid capital gains) can't be that much given existing income levels. + Risk of being blamed is high esp with T
