The average age of senators is now higher than in the past.

point of current-events interest
When Hardball was on, Chris Matthews used to say the reason Congress does not change something is because they like how it is.
After this month's Buffalo, New York murder-tantrum in a grocery store, Democrats in Washington D.C. introduced the Domestic Terrorism Prevention Act of 2022.
The bill passed the House.
Last week on Thursday, two days after the murder-tantrum in Uvalde, the bill was summarily shit-canned in the Senate.
