Big help for Big John as he gets up the gumption to take your guns after holding a jogger at bay with his.
According to information shared exclusively with TIME, the Sergeant at Arms (SAA) has installed a permanent live caption display monitor at Fetterman’s desk in the Senate chamber that can be raised or lowered depending on whether he’s sitting or standing. There’s a similar monitor with a custom desk stand that can be placed on the dais when he takes shifts presiding over the Senate. Both wired screens will work without internet if needed, relying on the Senate Office of Captioning Services’ stenotype machines, caption encoding hardware, and staff in the Capitol itself. The SAA has further plans to improve the set-up at Fetterman’s desk with a monitor stand that blends better with the desk’s antique woodwork and can be electronically adjusted.
The SAA has also come up with a plan for Fetterman’s work during committee hearings and elsewhere around the Capitol. In those cases, Fetterman can read a live transcript of the proceedings that appears on his wireless tablet. All of the captions will be produced by professional broadcast captioners rather than artificial intelligence in order to improve accuracy. The work builds on a request from last Congress, when Senate leadership asked the SAA to move toward providing closed captioning for all Senate hearings. SAA plans to upgrade its capabilities to do so, starting with the committees Fetterman serves on. He will participate in his first committee hearings on Feb. 1
I am sure this is just a busy oversite…
Fetterman’s office did not make the Senator available for an interview for this story. Since the election, Fetterman has not talked much to reporters in impromptu settings around the Capitol, and he did not respond to a question from TIME on his way to the floor this week.
I hope it’s only a minor setback as well. However, plenty of Fetterman voters were not blinded by progressive fear. They were just voting to keep a Trump puppet from becoming a PA Senator. As well as betting that if Fetterman ultimately needed to be replaced that he would be replaced by Josh Shapiro.
The man is sick and should not be doing stressful work unless desired goal is to off him. He needs rest, exercise, low stress that’s what they prescribed my grandma, if not……
I’m not sure on that race I know Walker was a terrible choice in Georgia I didn’t get that feeling from Oz that he was brain dead like his opponent. But that’s how they voted hope the man gets better, though I am not sure that’s the best place for him right now.
