WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A standoff between new U.S. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, a Democrat, and the man he replaced, Republican Mitch McConnell, over a core rule of Senate operations has kept the two from reaching a deal on how to manage the 50-50 chamber.
Democrats could unilaterally change the rule to require only a simple majority for legislation to advance, if all 50 Democrats plus Harris agreed to do so, a gambit sometimes called the “nuclear option.” In recent years, the rules have been changed to allow most judicial and Cabinet nominations to advance with a simple majority, but not legislation.

Fuck the filibuster. Dems should tell McConnel to shut the fuck up.
BLUEXITA Modest Proposal For Separating Blue States From Red
Dear Red-State Trump Voter,
Let’s face it, guys: We’re done.
It is a tragedy that so much of the work that so many men and women toiled at for so long to make this a better country, and a better world, has been thrown away, leaving us all in such needless peril.
This is why our separation in all but name is necessary.

ROFL..I remember not long ago when you dishonest idiots were saying the filibuster would not be abandoned.
Obama was honest about it though "if that is what it takes" he said

They have to be pushed and if the ones who need to be brought to justice...and that includes the scumbags like Cruz and Hawley, are not brought to justice, the Dems are going to screw it up for us...AGAIN!!!
If the Biden administration and the so-called representatives avoid doing whatever it takes to improve the lives of the people and prove that supporting the right wing is not a viable option, we will get another Trump.
