The founders didn’t create the 60-vote threshold.

“The 60-vote threshold has protected this country,” Thune says when asked if R’s should nuke the filibuster to reopen the government. “It gives the minority a say… The founders created the Senate that way for a reason.”

Murray says RIFs could have happened anyway: “A shutdown does not give Trump or Vought new, special powers to cause more chaos or permanently weaken more basic services” “This is nothing new, and no one should be intimidated by these crooks.”

WASHINGTON (AP) _ Budget office says 'substantial' firings of federal workers have started as White House exerts shutdown leverage


“just a football coach” 💀

New: MTG is taking a shot at the GOP Senate field as Trump remains quiet. “It’s basically a bunch of the same good old boy Republicans, and they’re not bringing anything new and forward thinking. I work with two of them, and the other one is just a football coach.”



This is a bonkers theory that some Rs are floating. Its core tenet suggests: Our members are too immature & insane to be here during important debates, better to hide them back in their districts. If this is the case, why should they ever be in DC? Abolish the House?

Sen CASSIDY votes YES on an NDAA amendment to block the President and Governors from deploying, under the authority of Title 32, the National Guard of one state to another state or the District of Columbia if that state’s governor – or in the case of D.C., the Mayor, – objects.

By a vote of 47-50 the #Senate did not adopt the Van Hollen Amendment #3872 to amend title 32, US Code, to clarify certain limitations on full-time National Guard duty. GOP Senator Cassidy voted in favor. Senators Cortez Masto, Cruz and Tillis did not vote.

The Senate has defeated a plan from Democrats to block President Trump's use of National Guard troops in various cities - if local officials oppose their deployment from other states.

Looks like a vote in the Senate on Trump’s gift plane from Qatar

Now voting: Schumer amendment to prohibit the use of funds to procure or modify foreign aircraft for presidential airlift to S.2296, FY26 NDAA. (3109) (This vote is subject to an affirmative 60-vote threshold)

Trump cited 3 Democrats in his Sept. 20 Truth Social post urging Bondi to prosecute them (that the WSJ reported was supposed to be a DM). Less than 20 days later, the US attorney Trump installed to replace one who resisted that has indicted 2 of the 3.
