Typo of the day: _memeber_ (for an intended _member_).
I'm guessing a memeber is someone who's kind of a dick about memes?

Sounds like the squishes in the senate caucus are ready to pull the plug with no ACA changes. This is real. If you want to register your opinion you shld call yr senator in the next hour. They not only want to reopen w/nothing. They want cover from their colleagues who still want to hold out.

Typo of the day: _instrwad_ (where I intended to type _instead_).
Instrwad is obviously some kind of instant wad (possibly trademarked as Instowad!™). What kind of wad is involved I decline to speculate.
