#3 Elder and handicapped abuse have become the hallmarks of the entrenched powers in DC. This guy is a clown-show with a broken centerpiece, and anyone who thinks he is the actual, functioning mind behind anything his office says or does is clueless.

#5 Fetterman spoke at length about his bout of depression, which kept him working out of a hospital for over a month.
"It’s a burden, but a privilege, too, to talk about it. It’s also an opportunity to be very bipartisan," he said. "Red or blue, if you have depression, get help, please. Don’t ever, ever, ever harm yourself. Do not leave behind a blueprint of that."

Bet that was a good 45-minute statement, with 3 re-writes and edits for comprehension

"In the sky! What's that working its 'ceps?"
An exemplar for rehabbing reps:
"C'mon, Diane, try!"
"Ow!"
