A lot of people cannot just start a paid newsletter or become freelancers to sustain their careers. The sports, metro, and international desks did work that requires *team* resources, like legal checks, documents, access to archives, and long-term beat experience.

Out of curiosity, were you able to download the entirety of sets 9 and 10? The CDN hasn't gotten me (or anyone else I know) past 31GB of 10 or past 21GB of 9.

Another thing here: None of the 80-and-older representatives and senators in Congress who are up for re-election in 2026 have a competitive seat, per @CookPolitical.com's latest report.
