The Parliamentarian (fyi, a Democrat) determined it needed 60 votes. Under the Harry Reid rule, it wouldve needed just 50 with Vance as tie breaker.

whose hope is in the Lord his God,

the sea, and all that is in them
This is a good reminder that we shouldn't look to politicians to be our saviors.

This seems like the easiest thing to understand. With the current makeup of the republican representatives and senators this bill is the best possible.

I also see Milei and Argentina brought up and what they have accomplished. We haven't been through what Argentina has. If you do a tiny bit of investigation you will see why Milei is able to do what he is doing.

To argue that we could have anything approaching Milei policies shows very little understanding.

So I guess we fix this by removing all the illegals?

Think this was more about putting 44 Dems on record for supporting benefits for illegals.

They hopefully have a work around language wise to make it work for reconciliation and 50+1

Parliamentarian ruled that as written it didn’t meet rules to bypass philibuster

That’s why the Media has so much power. They put out a BS headline, and they know some ignorant dumbasses will blame Republicans.

As long as the opposition can't tell the difference between men and women,

they aren't done.

Agreed. This was strategic. GOP will find a way to get this passed.

She was appointed by Harry Reid and Trump left her in place during his last term. You can bet had she been an R the dims would have removed her.

Op and many others never took civics in high school, nor research before spouting off. Many never served in military to learn wst strategy. You don't die on every hill, losing a battle does not mean you lost the war. Please educate yourself as many in this thread suggest

I don’t understand why they want illegals on Medicaid.
