TL;DR

Senator Dianne Feinstein has returned to Washington after an extended absence due to the shingles virus, which had threatened to derail Senate Democrats' agenda. Her absence had caused mounting heartburn for the Democratic majority, which has few votes to spare to confirm President Biden's Cabinet and judicial nominees, as well as potential legislation to avert a default on the national debt. Feinstein's slow recovery from the shingles virus and related complications led some Democrats to call for her resignation, but her return to the Senate will enable Biden's nominations to progress to the full Senate without needing a GOP vote.
