Following up on this. This remains a ‘cave is minutes or hours away’ situation. If you want to impact how this plays out you need to contact senators literally now. I want to add additional points of context. What I’m relaying is what I’ve picked up from highly reliable sources.
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.

Hey, if you've been seeing less from me - and, specifically, fewer of the snippets I post with Sabbat in them - you might want to go into Settings -> Advanced -> scroll down to 'Rude' and select either 'Warn' or 'Off'
(I don't *know* that it counts swearing as 'rude', but it's possible)
