Someone would need to go through all 3 MILLION documents and pick out the highlights because reading *everything* will make people's eyes glaze over and stop paying attention. #Epstein #Sanders #filibuster

Although I think the filibuster is terrible and would be happy to see it go, I also find the spectacle of Cornyn backpedaling on this nauseating.

@lolgop

Trump is too weak to kill the #filibuster.

There are a few Republican members who NEED to blame a Democratic filibuster when something can't get through the Senate. Without the filibuster, swing Republicans like #Collins and #Murkowski have to take the blame for blocking something, or take the blame for letting it through.

My take: The filibuster dies in 2029, at least for statehood votes. Remember the disgusting scene from The Life of Pi? The dems have fallen in and are swimming in it. Even idiots learn.

Everyone knows [why the Republicans haven't abolished the filibuster as Trump wants]. Republicans are afraid of losing the House in 2026 and the Senate and White House in 2028 after 4 tumultuous years of Trump's reign of terror. They know that if they abolish the filibuster now, then by roughly March 1, 2029, the Democrats will have admitted D.C. and maybe Puerto Rico as states, passed the "John Lewis Voting Rights Act" and "For the People Act," overhauled the Supreme Court, made abortion legal nationwide, and implemented a long laundry list of other things Republicans hate. If the GOP keeps the filibuster now, if and when Democrats get control, the Republicans can say: "Look, when we had the trifecta, we didn't abolish it. In all fairness, you shouldn't now either."

Enjoy your day.

Right now I got this on YouTube at the link I gave and on C-Span Radio. If you open up the app in YouTube you’ll see over 33,000 views so far and the live comments.

I’m starting my daily tasks and boy, this is a morning I can hardly wait for rich percolator coffee. It just takes a half hour in my stovetop pot. In the meantime I’ve got the C-Span Radio on. It’s morning now in DC and slowly other senators are coming into witness, support, and ask clarifying questions. Illinois as Washington Senators were just speaking with Merkley. #Resist #Filibuster #DontObey #EpsteinFiles #HowDemocracyDies #SenatorMerkley #Senate #Filibuster #Merkley #JeffMerkley

Over 33,000 views since he started over 14 hours ago! This is historic, folks! I recommend opening YouTube app to watch. I’ll be back to give a link if it’s also on CSpan2 #Resist #Filibuster #DontObey #EpsteinFiles #HowDemocracyDies #SenatorMerkley #Senate #Filibuster #Merkley #JeffMerkley

Omigosh, he’s got a second wind since I last was awake and listening. Fell asleep with my phone on my chest. Here is a fresh YouTube link: https://www.youtube.com/live/ymDt1XecYfI?si=AKD58r4TSJ-fPA2Z

Commenting on #Republican readiness to abandon their opposition to the bill, #Democratic representative #JohnLarson said: "What you see here is reconciliation with the #king."

"They all talk a good game. But ultimately, they cave," the #Connecticut #Democrat told Reuters. "You have to give a nod to #Trump on how he's able to exert this *influence*."

#House #USpol #MafiaState #OneBigUglyBill #OneBigBeautifulBill #filibuster

Nearly 4 hours into his speech, #House #Democratic Leader #HakeemJeffries said:

"How is it some on the other side of the aisle had principled opposition a few hours ago & now seem prepared to fold on the floor of the House of Representatives?".

Jeffries added: "What happened? What deals were cut? What occurred in the back room?"

[#Trump threats no doubt.]

#House #USpol #MafiaState #OneBigUglyBill #OneBigBeautifulBill #filibuster

Seen as someone who can navigate both the #progressive & #moderate wings of his party, #HakeemJeffries is also viewed as a potential Speaker if #Democrats regain control of the #House.

…

House Majority Leader #SteveScalise told reporters that #Trump persuaded holdouts to get behind the bill in an early morning phone call by emphasizing that no more changes would be made to the #legislation.

#House #Democrats #OneBigUglyBill #OneBigBeautifulBill #filibuster

"The focus of this bill, the justification for all of the cuts that will hurt everyday Americans is to provide massive #TaxBreaks for #billionaires,” #House Minority Leader #HakeemJeffries said.

Jeffries said every #Democrat stood in opposition to the '#OneBigBeautifulBill'.

"We're standing up for the American people," he added.

#Harris also wants to enact #TermLimits & an #ethics code for #SCOTUS, given the revelation that Thomas & Alito accepted luxury gifts w/o disclosing them. That’s unlikely if #Republicans control the #Senate — & maybe even if #Democrats do, thanks to the #filibuster.

The filibuster should be scrapped in its entirety. Due to the #Senate's arcane rules, passing legislation in America is too hard. It is little wonder that most Americans have lost faith in a democracy that can barely legislate.
