## Resource

Dave Rubin of "The Rubin Report" gives a first look at the stories you need to know to start your day, including the sudden death of Senator Lindsey Graham after suffering chest pains and a heart attack, triggering a scramble among South Carolina Republicans to fill his Senate seat as President Donald Trump hints he already has a preferred successor, with names like Nancy Mace, Ralph Norman, and Pamela Evette emerging as possible candidates; and a sprawling 12-block homeless encampment near New York City's Intrepid Museum drawing criticism over drugs, prostitution, crime, and public safety as Mayor Zohran Mamdani faces growing backlash; and much more.
