🙄49-50 Senate Republicans block bipartisan border package, scuttling deal they had demanded from Democrats https://apnews.com/article/386dcc54b29a5491f8bd87b727a284f8

@GottaLaff we really need to start pushing to end the filibuster. Or At the very least bring back the talking filibuster. The Dem view on this issue has been very frustrating. No one in the party even talks about. Why are we accepting that the Senate needs 60 votes to pass anything? That’s not how it’s supposed to work.

@GottaLaff @JustG it’s just so infuriating watching the Dems flail around helplessly like a turtle stuck on its back when they do have options. It’s the self-inflicted helplessness that is most concerning.

@GottaLaff @JustG and I understand that they don’t want to rip the bandaid off and just eliminate it, but i was really hopeful for a short time in 2021 that the Dems might start carving out exceptions to it like if it expands healthcare or voting rights or involves national security. Or at least start a discussion on bringing back the talking filibuster. But it’s just crickets. From the entire party, progressive pundits, the media. Sorry for the rant.

Republican Chuck Grassley says he's concerned passing legislation that would expand the Child Tax Credit will make President Biden "look good" during an election year.

@GottaLaff jfc, it’s really passed time to end the stupid filibuster. Or at least bring back a talking filibuster. This is one of the most frustrating issues with democrats.
