Who’s looking for a new “Congressional Icon”...

Long Island, NY. Today, there will be a special election to replace the now-expelled George Santos. Democrat Tom Suozzi is looking to take back his old job and flip the seat back to blue as he runs against Republican Mazi Pilip. Polls show the two neck-and-neck as the House GOP works to expand its razor-thin, 219-212 majority.

Where there could be a breakthrough…

Dementia research.Yesterday, scientists published new research showing they've made progress in developing a blood test that can predict dementia risk. No, this is not a Theranos situation. Researchers used blood samplesfrom over 50,000 healthy participants — more than 1,400 of whom developed dementia. With the help ofartificial intelligence, the researchers analyzed the blood and foundfour proteins that could be predictive of dementia more than a decade before official diagnosis. In some cases, researchers detected dementia with an estimated 90% accuracy about 15 years before a patient was diagnosed. Experts reportedly say the blood test could help speed up new treatment options for patients.

Surprise, surprise: Stewart took aim at both President Biden and former President Trump's ages, making it the focus of his monologue. He said both men are “stretching the limits of being able to handle the toughest job in the world.” There’s plenty more where that came from: Stewart will be hosting the show Monday nights to cover the election.
