  • Republicans with visions of a GOP-dominated Senate dancing in their heads may want to thank a cluster of retiring Democratic geezers for clearing the way.

  • Libertarian Senate candidate Robert Sarvis polls better among Virginia millennials than the Republican Party's Ed Gillespie. Worth thinking about, right, Ed?
  • Air strikes by U.S.-led forces have killed 521 Islamist fighters in Syria. And 32 civilians. Whoops.
  • A healthcare worker in New York City is being tested for Ebola. Just in case you missed recent opportunities to panic.
