They are trying to do the regular budget process for the first time since Bush was President.
They have passed a few appropriations bills. One includes a resolution on immigration priorities, more left-wing than Biden.

Aren't they all out of reconciliation opportunities now?

Until they don't. There have been several government shutdowns. Usually because McConnell wants to pretend to be fighting Obama to please his voters.

The Senate appropriations bills so far have been collegial and bipartisan and basically flat from last year/this year. Iow, the Senate bills fund everything including what Trump and Vought have already defunded through RIFs, reorgs, etc.

There's a timing issue, whether all appropriations bills will be passed by both House and Senate before the end of September. A short term CR would be the ordinary gap filling measure but after everything that has happened, including the rescission bill, Dems may not vote for it. But September is still several years away, in these times. And anything could happen before then.

Budget bills can be filibustered in the Senate. It takes 60 votes to end a filibuster. So more Democratic support is required.

In March they found 8(?) Democrat votes to allow the CR.

The problem with Democrats is they actually *want* the government to function.

There’s no doubt this time. This is happening.

Yup. Every bit as predictable as 'candidate X is going to create a false flag operation and suspend the next elections.'

It's so miserable working for the federal government right now that a shutdown would be a great time to start doing an intense job search. That's all I've got.
