In addition to the notes below, it also feels like the way to convince the President the filibuster has to go; he hasn’t seemed willing to expend the capital on it yet but if this fails Harris and Pelosi are expecting him to lean hard on the 2 holdouts (who will have 0 leverage in the minority)
Then he went over to the rules committee and ran his mouth about radical Vanita Gupta trying to deliminate the police and Blumenthal basically said, this ain't the place for that and then Ted walked out, greatly improving the smell in the room.https://twitter.com/atrupar...
It works both ways, unfortunately. There are also lots of bogus insurance claims. Some people that really deserve relief don't get it, some people that deserve only a kick in the pants win. Usually it boils down to legal assistance or lack of legal assistance.
There are days (week, years, really) I worry that what we'll really lose democracy to are short attention span exacerbated by infotainment and trauma and revisionist history amnesia

Both Majority Leader Schumer and McTreason are on the floor. That doesn't usually happen in Senate Committee markups.
