Heās a good dem! He was formally the mayor of our city (490K people). Our districts are so oddly shaped that he now represents the neighbors the next block over but not us.
My husband once tweeted out about some weird, loud noise coming from a gas station about 150 meters from our house and he took care of the complaint the SAME afternoon.

Among the many facets of the Big Billionaires Bill that has been jettisoned by the Senate Parliamentarian is the massive public land sale. It was determined to be wholly unbugetary and thus not qualifying to be part of budget reconciliation.

Democrat Melanie Stansbury triggers Marjorie Taylor Greene into gavel-banging meltdown at House hearingāagain

Well this is good news. The Senate Parliamentarian tossed the Medicaid cuts from the Big Bloviating Bill.
https://www.axios.com/2025/06/26/senate-medicaid-provider-tax-trump-thune
Also interesting was this bit:
The provision generated strong pushback from several Senate Republicans, including Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.), Susan Collins (R-Maine), Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) and Jerry Moran (R-Kan.), who warned deep cuts to federal Medicaid spending could cause dozens of rural hospitals in their states to close.
Iām not surprised to see Collins or Murkowski there, but Hawley?

Itās happened before. Weirdly, that position used to be more partisan than it has been in recent years. In 1981, Republicans gained control of the Senate and fired the previous parliamentarian and replaced him with a Republican, Robert Dove. When Democrats took back the Senate in 1987, they fired him and named Alan Frumin Parliamentarian. Republicans regained the Senate in 1995, fired Frumin and brought back Dove. Then, in 2001, Trent Lott got pissed at Dove about something and fired him and brought back Frumin, making him the first parliamentarian to serve under both parties. And itās been nonpartisan since then. Frumin served until 2012 when he retired and was replaced by Elizabeth MacDonough, the current parliamentarian who has likewise served under both parties.
