They've been saying, where's Pfeiffer on the Hill?

I think the fact, I just want to say, I think the fact that Schumer and Jeffries are even doing this

is a testament to the degree to which they want to hold the coalition together.

They're doing this because progressives were like, we're not fucking doing this again.

We need to extract something.

We need to fight.

We need to have a backbone.

We need to go.

And I think that they should be, you know, I think there should be some acknowledgement of the fact that they, you know, they're really trying to hold the party together and they're doing something that is gutsy, right?

I mean, and, and put very risky, high risk, high reward.

So, um, that's, uh,

That's a positive, I think, data point in all of this, that leadership is, you know, willing to take some risks in the sake of sort of preventing intraparty mutiny and holding folks together.

I think the pressure is going to be extraordinary.

I think John Thune is going to keep calling for votes on this every day.

And he's going to try and smoke out one more Democratic member.

And it's going to be an enormous strain on the coalition.

But listen, this is where all politics

You know, facets of the Democratic coalition from activists, grassroots voters, you know, people that care about the future of this, our society collectively, they need to make their voices heard as much.

I mean, right.

It can't just be a battle that's fought by the lone soldier soldiers on the hill.
