What might a future all-GOP gov’t do without a filibuster? A 20-week abortion ban would’ve passed under Trump. Border wall money would’ve passed. Gun rights could be expanded. Beyond that, tax cuts can bypass the 60-vote rule and much deregulation can be done by executive action. — PolitiTweet.org

Progressive fear about ending the filibuster under Obama was an all-GOP gov’t would carve up the safety net, privatize Medicare and make Ryan budget law. Turns out that stuff wasn’t attempted or failed and/or backfired politically. Rightly or wrongly, movement’s attitude changed. — PolitiTweet.org

Meanwhile, the list of liberal priorities threatened by the filibuster is expansive: Minimum wage hike, voting rights, LGBT protections, DC statehood, campaign finance, gun control, expanding Medicare, public option, path to citizenship, climate regs, infrastructure overhaul. — PolitiTweet.org
