From @WSJopinion: End the filibuster now before Democrats do. The 60-vote cloture threshold prevents Republicans from passing good bills while in power, writes @SenRonJohnson.https://t.co/xT8kS9VJCB ...

bulet's put it there because it's really important. This week, the Senate will start debate on Trump's top priority, the Save America Act, which would require proof of citizenship documentation to register to vote and a photo ID at the ballot box. Democrats are united in opposing it on the floor while Republicans are SPLIT ON CHANGING SENATE RULES AND ELIMINATING THE FILIBUSTER IN ORDER TO GET THIS THING PASSED.WITH US FOR MORE, MCKAY KOPPEN, STAFF WRITER AT THE ATLANTIC. MCKAY, WHAT ARE YOU EXPECTING TO SE ...

WELCOME TO MEET THE PRESS NOW I'M KRISTEN WELKER IN WASHINGTON. PRESIDENT TRUMP HIT THE ROAD TODAY VISITING OHIO AND KENTUCKY TO TOUT HIS ECONOMIC AGENDA. HE'S SET TO DELIVER REMARKS THIS HOUR.BUT IT OF COURSE, COMES AS THE ADMINISTRATION IS TRYING TO CONTAIN THE ECONOMIC FALLOUT FROM THE WAR WITH IRAN. WITH FUEL PRICES RISING AND GROWING CONCERNS ABOUT SAFETY IN THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ, A VITAL SHIPPING LANE THAT BORDERS IRAN, OIL PRICES MOVED HIGHER ONCE AGAIN TODAY. THEY'RE NOW UP ROUGHLY 30% SINCE THE STAR ...

I don't even know where to begin here, so we may as well start with Iran. Since we're already talking about a war. Powers are out the window.The president appears to have the green light from Congress. Will he get a blank check when he asks for a supplemental.

The real question for Congress is on funding, Right.This requires the ...

RT Mike Lee (@BasedMikeLee)Enforcing the Talking Filibuster is NOT “eliminating” the filibusterIt’s just enforcing the Senate’s rules and making Democrats opposed to the SAVE America Act actually *speak* if they want to filibusterIf we don’t do this now, we might as well prepare to loseMAKETHEMSPEAK!Baby steps—turning to giant leaps—to SAVE America! ...

RT Mike Lee (@BasedMikeLee)Restoring the Talking Filibuster isn’t nuking the filibusterIt doesn’t require us to violate *any* Senate ruleIt’s just what the filibuster is—and has been from the very beginningLike Dorothy’s ruby slippers, it’s the superpower we’ve had all alongNow it’s time to use it! https://t.co/i7CiN86wcm ...

The problem is that next time the senate flips, the left will break the filibuster immediately and pass no voter ID nationally.After that, the senate will become supermajority left forever, like California.Arthur MacWaters (@ArthurMacwaters):I asked Grok to explain why the SAVE act is blocked by a zombie filibusterBuckle up:This would be hilarious if it weren't so stupid> SAVE act itself has 53/47 majority support> can't be passed because the 47 can **just silently object** indefinitely, so the bill would h ...

Given the filibuster in the Senate and the narrow Republican majority in the House, any legislation on extending supercharged health-care subsidies will require Democratic votes to pass https://t.co/fzx3w1Hc6H ...

Healthcare Debate - The debate centers on extending ObamaCare subsidies, with Democrats pushing for a vote [1][4] - Republicans criticize ObamaCare for increasing costs and enriching insurance companies, with subsidies covering up to 80% of insurance costs [3] - A key point of contention is the "Biden COVID bonus subsidies" set to expire, which Democrats aim to extend [4] - Republicans argue for healthcare plans that lower costs, give people choice and control, and avoid government-run systems [6][7][8] - The discussion includes the possibility of repealing ObamaCare and replacing it with a Republican healthcare plan [9][10] Political Stance - The filibuster is supported as a tool to prevent Democrats from implementing policies deemed harmful to the country [13] - Democrats are accused of wanting to add four new Democrat senators by making D C and Puerto Rico states [13] - Democrats are accused of wanting to change voting rules to allow illegal immigrants to vote and appoint Supreme Court justices who do not follow the Constitution [14] Epstein Files Controversy - The Epstein files issue is viewed by some as an attempt by Democrats to undermine President Trump [16][22] - Concerns are raised about the timing of investigations and potential political motivations [18][20][22] - The focus should be on addressing current issues and lowering prices for Americans rather than dwelling on the Epstein case [21]
