It's widely misunderstood but the debt ceiling vote was not an "exception" to the filibuster made by rule change. It required 60 votes on the front end to enable — a convoluted mechanism for Republicans to quietly back down. Can't replicate on issues they don't want to pass. — PolitiTweet.org

Serious question: Why shouldn't abortion rights be an exception to the filibuster? Dems are fine with a filibuster… https://t.co/ivC6Q1LnC5

Katie Porter says her caucus has been slow to recognize the toll of inflation and cost of living, or to communicate it beyond "hollow rhetoric." "I had a colleague mention to me, ‘We’re not seeing it in the polls’ ... Well, you don’t know what to ask." https://t.co/yepDGQmz2e — PolitiTweet.org

Also: The Senate doesn't have 50 votes for the Women's Health Protection Act. It's dead with or without the existence of the filibuster. Also also: There are theoretically 52 votes (+ Manchin, Collins, Murkowski) for some limited codification of Roe/Casey. But no path around 60. — PolitiTweet.org
