This is a close election with pretty stable public opinion. Biden is doing about 1-1.5 points better than 6 weeks ago. But with 29 weeks to go, any small lead for either candidate is very tenuous. Buckle up because it’s going to be a long ride

Terrific hire for a terrific publication

My blog shares new data that show Florida is disenrolling children from CHIP in apparent violation of federal continuous coverage protections.

Huge congratulations to Casey Ross Bob Herman for winning the coveted 2024 NIHCM Award for Investigative and General Reporting for their eye-opening series, 'Denied by AI: Consequences for Sick and Vulnerable Americans.''

President Biden’s statement on Gov Graham is lovely in its entirety, but this piece truly encapsulates why so many loved him. He saw every person he met as a chance to learn something.

A motion by Arizona Dems that would have helped them force a vote on repealing the 1864 anti-abortion law just failed.

The vote was 30-30, with one GOPer crossing over.

Important blog and report from our colleagues Center on Health Insurance Reforms on how Health Savings Accounts benefit the healthy and wealthy.

My favorite book by a politician, including Grant’s memoirs: Bob Graham’s deadpan recollections of the days he spent working ordinary Florida jobs. The gimmick really worked because Bob really worked. RIP to maybe the greatest Floridian.

I loved that he was an unapologetic wonk, but also empathetic, inquisitive and entirely original. How lucky were we to have Bob Graham dedicate an entire lifetime of remarkable service to our State. There will not be another like him. He was Mr. Florida and will be missed.

Known for decency and integrity, a true public servant

Would change Fernand's first line only to say: 'One of the great Americans in American history...'

Bob Graham was an outstanding person, patriot, citizen, leader.

May his example be an inspiration.

One of the great Floridians in Florida history is now for the ages.

Condolences to the Graham family.😞

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer promised two years ago to hold a vote on a bill to ensure people with all types of insurance have access to $35/month insulin. He hasn't done it.
