@MeetThePress @NBCNews It would be the first bill to die because of the 60-vote threshold in the Biden era. That'll test Democrats' willingness to preserve the filibuster. It will doubtless embolden those who want to abolish it and make the Senate a majority-rule body—Merkley, Warren, others. 2/ — PolitiTweet.org

@MeetThePress @NBCNews It is indeed. Two bills are up in the Senate: The Endless Frontier Act (enhancing competitiveness with China) and the Jan. 6 commission. The former seems to be moving toward passage. The latter will almost certainly be blocked. That would be—as Biden might call it—a BFD. 1/ — PolitiTweet.org

@MeetThePress @NBCNews They say that if even a 1/6 commission can't pass, the Senate is irreparably broken. BUT it's not clear they'll get all 50 of their members aboard to "nuke" the filibuster. Manchin, in particular, is dug in against changing that rule. Sinema also supports the filibuster. 3/ — PolitiTweet.org
