Kilgore's character is Taylor, 'a firefighter and incredible singer.' Provost is Ryan, 'a modern-day cowboy and firefighter.'Feliz is Cammi, 'an adrenaline junkie and former trauma surgeon.' And McVey is Blue, 'a haunted bad boy, now a firefighter.' 20th Television is the studio, and the series is produced in association with Ryan Murphy Television, with Murphy, Tim Minear, and Rashad Raisani writing and exec producing.

Kilgore chosen to lead Va. House GOP as Gilbert prepares for possible exit
Del. Terry Kilgore, R-Scott, succeeds House Minority Leader Todd Gilbert, R-Shenandoah, as the head of the GOP caucus. (Photo by Ned Oliver/ Virginia Mercury) House Republicans on Sunday tapped Del. Terry Kilgore, R-Scott, as their new caucus leader, handing the reins to a seasoned strategist from Southwest Virginia just as the party gears up for a high-stakes election year when each of the chamber's 100 seats are on the ballot. Kilgore's election comes on the heels of Minority Leader Todd Gilbert's recent announcement that he was prepared to step aside amid his pursuit of a federal appointment. A former House Speaker and longtime power broker in the General Assembly, Gilbert is under consideration for the U.S. attorney post in Virginia's Western District. 'I'm honored by the trust my colleagues have placed in me,' Kilgore said following the vote. 'We need disciplined leadership, a unified message, and a clear strategy to take back the House. I'm ready to get to work.' Kilgore, 63, has represented the far southwestern corner of Virginia since 1993 and served as House Majority Leader when Republicans controlled the chamber from 2022 to 2024. He currently serves on the Commerce and Labor, Courts of Justice and Rules committees. His ascent to the caucus' top job marks a return to frontline leadership, with a mission focused squarely on retaking the House majority later this year. 'We have no time to waste,' he added. 'The 2025 elections are around the corner, and we need to operate like a team ready to win. That starts now.' The vote followed weeks of speculation after Gilbert, 54, told colleagues in May that he might need to step away from elected office 'on short notice' if nominated for the federal role. In a statement at the time, he stressed the importance of continuity. 'This mission is bigger than any one person — and we're going to make sure it stays on course,' he said. On Sunday, Gilbert endorsed Kilgore in a message posted to X, formerly Twitter: 'Leading our caucus in various capacities has been the honor of my lifetime. I wish Leader Kilgore all the best and look forward to helping in any way I can.' Gilbert has represented what currently is Virginia's 33rd House District in the Shenandoah Valley since 2006. As Speaker from 2022 to 2024, he helped steer House Republicans through a period of divided government under Gov. Glenn Youngkin and Democratic control of the Senate. In a statement posted on X Sunday, Youngkin applauded both men. 'Thank you to @cToddGilbert for your years of principled leadership as Speaker and Republican Leader. Your strong voice for common sense has made a lasting positive impact. Big Congratulations to @DelTerryKilgore… Your deep experience will serve Virginians incredibly well as House Republicans lock arms to win and lead.' Virginia Scope reported that Sunday's vote followed behind-the-scenes lobbying by several potential contenders, including Dels. Joe McNamara, R-Roanoke County; Kilgore; and Michael Webert, R-Fauquier. Ultimately, only Kilgore and Webert formally pitched their cases to fellow Republicans before the vote. A spokesman for the caucus declined to comment on 'internal caucus affairs.' Though he fell short, Webert expressed support for the outcome, writing on X: 'Virginia's House Republicans are strong with @delterrykilgore at the helm! I'll be forever grateful for @cToddGilbert leadership and mentorship, but our team is ready to work together and win!' Kilgore, who holds degrees from the University of Virginia's College at Wise and William & Mary Law School, played a key role in avoiding a leadership clash after the 2021 election by stepping aside in favor of Gilbert, who was elected Speaker and then backed Kilgore's bid for majority leader. Their mutual support helped maintain internal unity, a dynamic Kilgore now hopes to build on as he charts the GOP's next steps. With federal confirmation still pending for Gilbert's potential nomination, the timeline for his departure remains uncertain. But with Sunday's vote, Republicans have made clear they're preparing for every possibility — and positioning themselves for an uphill battle to win back the House majority in November.

5 Ways You Might Not Realize You're Wasting Money
It's easy to overlook the small expenses that quietly chip away at consumer budgets. While they may not seem significant on their own, habits like choosing brand-name items, feel-good spending and buying at the wrong time can add up quickly. Warren Buffett: Trending Now: Here are five ways you might not realize you're wasting your money. One of the most common culprits is paying extra for brand-name products when generic versions offer the same quality at a fraction of the price. 'It's easy to get into the habit of buying a brand name you see frequently, and that you've bought for years,' said Austin Kilgore, analyst with the Achieve Center for Consumer Insights. 'However, store-brand items at the grocery store can easily cost 40% less than their brand-name counterparts.' Kilgore went on to explain: 'For example, a couple that spends $200 a month on name-brand groceries could save $80 every month.' Discover More: Many people focus on health insurance premiums, yet overlook the complete cost of care. 'Find discounts on medications,' Kilgore said. 'If you need a common drug, a discount store may offer it for just a few dollars a month. Some people can save by ordering medications by mail or in volume. Your physician may have suggestions.' Kilgore continued, noting that some manufacturers offer coupons online for particularly expensive drugs. 'In some cases, the coupon can cut the cost of a prescription by a few hundred dollars,' he said. Purchasing items out of season or before major sales can result in paying more for the same product. 'When you shop can impact how much you spend on certain items,' said Andrea Woroch, a consumer and money-saving expert. 'For instance, always shop at the end of the season for which a clothing item was designed to get up to 75% off the retail price.' She went on to explain that winter apparel is a better purchase when retailers clear out inventory as spring and summer approach. Woroch also said it's wise to wait until popular sales events such as Amazon Prime Day in mid-July or Black Friday to buy electronics. 'You can even score big savings on household appliances during long holiday weekends like Memorial Day,' she pointed out. 'May is Maytag month, during which you save hundreds off select Maytag appliances from a variety of retailers that sell their models.' Eco-conscious spending has become increasingly popular, but it's easy to overpay for items that offer minimal environmental benefits. 'One money sink I see all the time is the 'ethical upgrade' mindset,' said Chris Burdick, co-founder and chief product officer at FairKiwi. 'People feel good swapping everyday items for sustainable versions like bamboo utensils, reusable cotton rounds, and high-end organic snacks, but often end up buying more than they actually need.' Burdick explained, 'Ironically, this eco-conscious consumption can turn into its own form of waste. I've seen people toss perfectly good items just to replace them with 'greener' alternatives, not realizing that keeping what they already own is often more sustainable and budget-friendly.' In addition, spending money to feel good could mask habitual spending. 'The intention is ethical, but the execution can quietly drain your wallet and damage the planet,' Burdick noted. Paying for a gym membership might feel like an investment in one's health, but if the membership goes unused, it's money that could be better used elsewhere. 'During the pandemic, many people discovered they could exercise outdoors or in their homes with online or DVD workout programs,' Kilgore said. 'Since then, many have rejoined or joined new places to work out. If you stop and think about whether some of your pandemic-era routines worked, you might be able to save up to hundreds of dollars every month.'
