New: Beware the cliffs in Democrats' big bill. From child cash payments to larger ACA subsidies to expanded Medicare and Medicaid, the party has tough decisions to make about which of these programs should be set to expire, and when. w/ @BenjySarlin š https://t.co/e0cI36pZIb — PolitiTweet.org

The parliamentarian has no actual power in the Senate. She exists because of the Byrd rule, which exists because of the filibuster, which exists because a majority of senators in the Democratic-controlled chamber wants to preserve it. — PolitiTweet.org

Sahil Kapur @sahilkapur
And this is where Bidenās complicated history comes into play. Heās a creature of the Senate over 36 years and prides himself on being an institutionalist. Yet that 60-vote rule is claiming scalp after scalp in his agenda and looms over his presidential legacy. — PolitiTweet.org
Sahil Kapur @sahilkapur
Now, to do that would be to effectively go nuclear. If thereās no nonpartisan referee on Byrd rule limits it neednāt existāthe party in power can do whatever it wants by simple majority vote in reconciliation. Biden-Harris could force that issue but thereās no sign they want to. — PolitiTweet.org
Sahil Kapur @sahilkapur
Why is this important? The Senate presiding offerāwhich VP Harris can become whenever she wants toāhas the power to rule in opposition to the parliamentarian and itād take 60 votes to block the VP. In this case thatās 10 Democrats saying no, immigration should not be included. — PolitiTweet.org

Democratic leaders and immigration activists say this is only the first bite at the apple and they'll go back to the parliamentarian to try again to fit this in. If it doesn't happen in reconciliation, there is no Plan B. There aren't 60 Senate votes. https://t.co/5JAI5Fuu2m — PolitiTweet.org
