The issue is now that if Bob Casey can't come back then 53 seats gives us a huge problem. Republicans then lose 3 members and still have a majority.

That means Murkowski can do her thing because she's not even up in two years. And Collins and Tillis -our two biggest targets in 2026- can be given a pass to break ranks when necessary and they can still confirm wackos to positions and vote for bad legislation without repercussions.

We would have been in a great position to attack them had we only had 52 seats.

Being able to do what they want is both a blessing and a curse. They have little ability now to stop themselves from doing something incredibly stupid.
