Jamie Stiehm in dailyherald:
Absence in the Senate makes no heart grow fonder, given a delicate balance of power, 51-49, with Democrats holding a knife edge. Consider"DiFi," Dianne Feinstein, a Democratic elder on her sickbed.
"Soon" brings no comfort to her side of the split. Feinstein, elected in 1992, will turn 90 in June. She is the oldest member of the Senate. by signing up you agree to our terms of service Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., may angle for Feinstein's withdrawal from the key committee. No senator has publicly called outright for her resignation. Yet. A few House Democrats pressed for her exit, but senators live in their own orbit.
Lawmakers pay a high price for power on center stage and it's hard to let go. I know, I know. Besides, the Senate can be a great place to grow old. In fact, this is the oldest Senate we've ever had, according to the historian's office.Two senators also missing in action just returned to the fray: Republican Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky and freshman Democrat Sen. John Fetterman of Pennsylvania.
Compared to Speaker Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., McConnell is a voice of reason on the debt ceiling crisis before us. The Treasury needs to raise the limit to preserve our"full faith and credit" and avoid shaking the global economy.
