Leaked texts by John Fetterman reveal why many of the Pennsylvania senator’s staffers are reportedly worried: he is increasingly behaving like a Republican.

In January, according to the report, Fetterman sent staffers an article about how annual healthcare costs for a typical working American family are nearly $4,000.

“How should it cost? Free?” he wrote. “I don’t understand what affordability it is.”

Also in January, as the Trump administration was dragging its heels about releasing the Epstein files, Fetterman messaged a staffer: “Epstein was a nothing burger. Worst pics I’ve seen were from Clinton lol.”

The man can't even complete his sentences properly. Should have had a competency hearing day 1 after recovering from his stroke.

Is that why I have difficulty parsing this message?

“How should it cost? Free?” he wrote. “I don’t understand what affordability it is.”

OK, he forgot "much", but what's the argument here?

And does he mean the last sentence literally?

edit: oh, it's 4k annually, not monthly. So like 1k per person. That would be cheaper than anything I've seen/heardof/experienced anywhere in Europe. I want to see that article.
