Sen. John Fetterman is to return to the Senate this evening for the first time since mid-February, after a six-week hospitalization for clinical depression. The Pennsylvania senator is expected to join a roll call vote to advance a nominee for deputy under secretary of defense, Radha Iyengar Plumb, to a confirmation vote. He’ll cochair a panel hearing on Wednesday. The highly routine moment will likely be met with outsized attention, given the Democrat’s path to the U.S. Senate — suffering a stroke, winning a politically coveted open seat, and then sharing his struggles with depression and seeking treatment at Walter

The reason he is returning now is they finally got the automatic drool drain line installed at his seat in the Senate. Also heard that the Senate Lunch Room is now serving Miracle Grow for plants to Fetterman, Feinstein, Schumer, and McConnell.

He'll be treated like a conquering hero in the media. Let's see how long he lasts before another " psychiatric relapse."

I saw him strolling along the back area of Walter Reed a few weeks ago. He looked like anyone else out for a morning stroll, This guy was living like a king in the VIP suite at WRMC, being waited on hand and foot and getting mental treatment that should have been going to our military personnel. It is not unreasonable to suspect that some service member might commit suicide because they were denied medical resources that Fetterman was taking.

Co-chair the panel? More than likely, he’ll BE the actual chair. (And I don’t mean chairman.)

"He’ll cochair a panel hearing on Wednesday." It'll be interesting to watch him read the short script they give him, assuming they televise it. I don't expect any incisive questions.

They need him to work their plan to replace Feinstein on the committee assignments. Somebody will be behind him with a hand up his arse.

Wasn’t there a thunderstorm in DC this weekend. I heard that the doctors/electricians got enough lightning power to spark Frankenfetterstein back to life. Or something close to it. Now the dummy-carts just have to make sure to clean up the lightning rods, EKG machine and hospital bed off of Walter Reed’s roof.

he won't be around for very long and he'll be back in rehab, the man has serious emotional issues that can only be treated and adjusted by lengthy, lengthy confronting of his inner issues
someone should talk to him about his childhood and how to reconcile his present condition with the matters he faced as a child

Sadly, no more capable of being a Senator today, nor was he ever. The people of PA were scammed and have been exposed as fools for letting this happen. Wallow in shame!!

Biggest question....did they find a tailor to adjust the fit on his suits?
He always looked like a 15yo that had borrowed a suit from his Dad, when he bothered to wear one at all.
