There's something so romantic about winter and I don't know whether that's just because

I'm a bit for homebody and I love a 5.

But I think it's just the holiday period, it's just for me, it's the most romantic period.

And I think anyone who's listened to my records will know that I'm quite a big fan of romance.

Rapins and Meyer is not usually scrupulously following the ins and outs of Congress.

He's a climate reporter.

But this weekend, with the Democrats' big budget reconciliation bill, finally, snaking

its way through the Senate, he decided he'd do a little moon lighting on Capitol Hill.

I would describe the atmosphere as almost precisely like college library during finals week.

It was literal moon lighting for Rob because he was there when voting began on Saturday

and then he stayed until the bill passed the next day.

You know, people are there overnight. You look around, you can tell there are people who

do this every time. It's your first time. The sun rises much sooner than you expect.

When you finally do get to take a nap, 90 minutes has passed without you realizing it.

It sounds painful. It sounds like a painful process after a painful year.

Yes. And so when it finally came time to path the legislation, it was kind of, wow, they're

really doing it. Wow. Rob knew this was the final vote because

if I had the vibe in the room suddenly shifted. Republicans were ready to get out of there.

They gave the bill a thumbs down. Then they all like stand up, pick up their bags. It

was almost like watching people like to plane, you know, with all their carry on bags.

So there was no mistaking how partisan this was. No, not at all.
