Arrr, me hearties! In a twist of fate that be worthy of a good old pirate tale, those scallywags over at the House have been caught hatching a plan to shake things up in the Senate.

They be feeling like they be left out of the loop, and that their voices ain't being heard. They be fearing that this alternative plan might be a sign of things to come, and that they be losing their grip on the wheel of power.
So, me hearties, the battle lines have been drawn. Will Captain Johnson stick to his original plan, or will he be swayed by the cunning House conservatives? Only time will tell, but one thing be for certain – this be one pirate tale that be far from over.
