Senator Mark Warner announced the launch of the $50 billion Rural Health Transformation Program on September 15th, 2025, aimed at revitalizing rural healthcare systems, as detailed in a CMS press release. This initiative comes amidst a new poll suggesting socialism's growing mainstream appeal, with DSA Fund data indicating voter preference for figures like Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez over established politicians. Meanwhile, Representatives Luna and Comer called for the U.S. Treasury to freeze the assets of Neville Singham, accusing him of funding militant organizations and hate campaigns against Americans. The Rural Health Transformation Program, funded at $50 billion, is designed to address the collapse of healthcare in rural America, providing a health system tailored to rural needs, according to Senator Warner's statement. The poll, commissioned by DSA Fund and highlighted by Politico, found that likely Democratic voters prefer socialist figures over establishment-oriented politicians like Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries. Separately, a Napolitan poll released on September 13th indicated that 40% of respondents believe the assassination of Charlie Kirk represents a significant turning point in American history, while 48% view it as just another incident. In legislative news, House GOP leadership is reportedly not planning to extend enhanced ACA subsidies in the upcoming Continuing Resolution (CR), classifying it as a December policy issue.
