Add something with the budget so it only needs 51 votes?

Where you been?

They get one budget bill a year that isn’t subject to filibuster

Yes, there is no more filibuster. If the Dems ever get control again, women's health, DC statehood and a host of other policies are on the table. Apparently it is ok for a president to ignore congress, so a dem president can dismantle ICE and reprogram ICE and defense money into other agencies and programs.

Thank your hero Harry Reid. He brought us here. Now you get to see what the other side of it looks like.

Ah, easy to blame Harry Reid without the full story...McConnell and the GOP had obfuscated and broken norms in stopping Obama appointments to the extent that the Chief Justice was concerned over the integrity of the judiciary branch and its ability to function. So McConnell and Rehnquist basically forced Reid into breaking the filibuster. Again, part of a multi decade game from the right to break norms, blame the left and take power.

First filibusters of judges came from Democrats under George W Bush.
The issue with McConnell vs Reid really had to do with Reid not allowing amendments, filling the tree, so they responded in other ways.

Biden already did that.

+1, during Biden’s train wreck administration , it was as if we didn’t have a border at all.

Correct. We’re here because Dems didn’t do anything while in power, such as:

Securing our borders
Enforcing immigration laws
Cutting taxes on working/middle class families
Stimulating economic growth
Incentivizing businesses to come back to the US
establishing fairer trade practices with other countries


Now Trump is taking the lead on this stuff, because Dems didn’t. That’s why he’s president.


Again
