This morning, I wrote that this was a very important week for both the Republicans and the country, because of both the Gorsuch hearings and the AHCA vote coming up on Thursday. I continue to have very little sense of where things are with Gorsuch, other than that both of my Senators stating that they'll hold fast against him:
To be clear: I'm voting against Gorsuch's nomination and will insist that it meet the traditional 60 vote threshold.— Kirsten Gillibrand (@SenGillibrand) March 21, 2017
Schumer: It is unseemly to be moving forward on #SCOTUS nominee with cloud of FBI investigation hanging over @POTUS— Matt House (@mattwhouse) March 21, 2017

I'm going to call them both tomorrow to thank them.
In the meantime, the clock is running down -- T-minus two days -- and this doesn't feel like progress to me:
Trump to House GOP today: Vote for bill or you’ll lose your seat.— Dan Diamond (@ddiamond) March 21, 2017
Freedom Caucus Chair: I’m still no.
Heritage Action: We’re still no.
I remain on pins and needles; hopefully we all feel a bit of relief on Friday.
