Senator Fetterman has been hospitalized for depression

[Anonymous]

It wasn't a clue to you that Fetterman chased a black guy out jogging and shoved a shotgun barrel in the guy's face?

I guess he didn't have an R next to his name so you pulled the lever for him.

I hope he's feeling ok. This has got to be a really really rough time for him.

He is hospitalized so isn't there to vote. This is not being a great senator! He needs to resign and a special election this fall,

He’ll be back in two weeks.

What votes did he miss?

The votes Fetterman missed include a number of judicial and other nominations, as well as a bipartisan bill that sought to strike down a new Labor Department rule encouraging retirement fiduciaries to consider environmental, social and corporate governance (ESG) issues in their investments.

The absences of both Feinstein and Fetterman have caused Schumer to delay votes.

Wonderful news. And he’s a very brave man for being so forthcoming with his struggles post-stroke which will no doubt help those experiencing similar symptoms in the future. I look forward to him being back in the Senate.

The depression makes sense to me seeing sensorineural hearing loss in this list. I had sudden sensorineural hearing loss (full loss in one ear) over the course of two days. They thought it was a stroke, in fact, but it wasn't. Just unexplained SSNHL. I went into a spiraling depression that, in hindsight, I should have been hospitalized over. The loss of a sense is - to put it bluntly - depressing and for me life altering. It's how you move through the world, experience the world, hear the world (not taking away from people who are Deaf/born without hearing, I get that. But it's different from people who had hearing and lost it.) not to mention horrible balance issues, safety around directional hearing (can't hear people coming up on me from that side, including cars), vertigo, etc. It's taken me over a year and half to come to grips with how I go through life. I feel bad for him.

He wouldn’t have voted that way you’d want him to.

Fetterman still kept tabs on things even when he was in the hospital. I saw more than one hearing where a colleague read questions of his to witnesses for answers.

+1 He has one of the best chiefs of staff in the business. Worked for Harry Reid for years and then literally wrote a book on Senate policies and procedures.

Fetterman sounds pretty normal and lucid in today's Senate Banking Committee hearing. He's made an astonishing recovery:
