Whoa: Cummings Dead at 68

The news is everywhere.  Elijah Cummings, the powerful Maryland Democrat and chair of the House Oversight committee, is dead at age 68.

Rep. Elijah E. Cummings, chairman of the House Oversight and Reform Committee and a key player in the ongoing impeachment inquiry against President Donald Trump, died early Thursday of complications from longtime health issues, his office said in a statement. The Maryland Democrat was 68.

That is unexpected, although it's a trip we will all eventually take.
