❤️ we joke that we already struggle to keep up with him and he’s only “half rerouted” as a Glenn at 75%. No idea how we will keep up with him if he gets up closer to 100! 🤣❤️

It took me a lot of deep breaths and doom scrolling to eventually talk myself out of my anger to get there, but I just posted the same, and am hoping that’s right.

1000% this. I am an early adopter of tech and have used it alongside my child’s complex medical journey for quite some time. The number of things AI gets wrong that I have to correct or clarify even with fantastic prompts and guide rails is incredibly alarming for where it seems we are headed.

I had to work hard to try to put a positive spin on it. It was NOT easy… and finding a way of thinking the best of people is usually one of my super powers.

Just trying to find the positives wherever I can at this point y’all!

Bonus thought: at least, theoretically, we finally get to swear in Adelita Grijalva since the Speaker’s extended vacation for the House has to end now.
Maybe that means we’ll finally get the last vote needed to release the Epstein files.

If we see coordinated messaging, maybe there’s a real plan.
If it goes quiet, then yeah… probably just another round of “we tried.”

So maybe this was coordinated… a way to force Republicans to own the fallout.
Or maybe those senators really did just fold, and my original anger was totally justified.
Either way, I’m watching what they do next, not what they said tonight.

The only reasonable thing I can come up with is that this is setting a trap.
If Republicans walk away from that commitment and premiums jump, the blame lands squarely on them. Democrats get to say, “We held up our end. They didn’t.”

They’re selling it as: we got a guaranteed vote on extending ACA premium subsidies.
But let’s be honest — nobody trusts a guaranteed vote. It’s complete BS. Republicans can stall it, bury it, load it up with garbage, or tank it outright.

The eight who voted yes are mostly not up again until 2028 or 2030. That doesn’t feel random.
It looks like leadership let the “safe” folks take the hit so others could vote no, keep their progressive street cred for “fighting to the end,” and still get things moving.
