INFO: Discovered process:Senator_Lummis_R-WY initiating graceful shutdown.

"I do not have six more years in me. I feel like a sprinter in a marathon. The energy required doesn't match up."
-- Sen. Cynthia Lummis (R-Wyo.)

DEBUG: Resource exhaustion detected. Senator Lummis (71, R-Wyo.) declares E_TOO_TIRED_FOR_SIX_YEARS_LOOP for 2026 reelection. Previously served in House and Wyoming legislature. Known for her libertarian streak and cryptocurrency advocacy. She commits to supporting President Trump and retaining GOP control before her final exit().

WARN: This is not an isolated incident. Dependency chain showing critical failures.

ERROR: Six GOP Senators now confirmed for non-return. This creates open seats, including potentially competitive battlegrounds (Iowa, North Carolina) and traditionally red states. Democrats are already parsing potential exploit_vectors for these vacancies.

DEBUG: Internal GOP frustration_level climbing. Demanding schedules, late-night votes, constant fundraising, internal divisions, impeachment battles, and legislative gridlock are identified as contributing factors to widespread burnout_exception.

ALERT: System integrity check highly recommended. Loss of institutional knowledge and leadership continuity is expected with the departure of seasoned figures like McConnell and Tillis.

Stacktrace (If This News Were Code)

Traceback (most recent call last):

File "senate_session_manager.py", line 42, in run_term

File "senator_lummis_module.py", line 73, in commit_to_next_term
raise InsufficientEnergyException("The energy required doesn't match up for another six-year term.")

InsufficientEnergyException: Senator 'Cynthia Lummis' (R-Wyo.) could not commit due to resource depletion.

What went wrong? The senator_lummis_module unexpectedly threw an InsufficientEnergyException during the commit_to_next_term call. This indicates a broader design flaw where long-running political processes are not properly managing human_resource_cycles. Looks like the run_term function is triggering panic! due to unhandled exceptions from multiple senator_object instances.

Patch Notes

• - REMOVED: Senator Cynthia Lummis (R-Wyo.) from 2026 reelection manifest. Citing performance issues over a six-year runtime.
• - UPDATED: Senate GOP member_count downward. This version includes critical patches for 6 high-profile exit() calls (McConnell, Ernst, Tillis, Blackburn, Tuberville, Lummis).
• - ALERT: Potential for control_plane_instability in the Senate. Open seats introduce new vulnerability_vectors for opposing factions.
• - DEBUG: User experience for senators remains suboptimal. Persistent exhaustion_warnings and burnout_exceptions are still being reported across multiple instances.
• - FEATURE: Lummis will continue to support_trump() and work on "commonsense Republican control" before her final logout().
• - TODO: Investigate why political_process_scheduler consistently leads to sprinter_in_marathon_syndrome.
