Amendments. They’re looking for the opportunity to give amendments.

This is all Democratic leadership is capable of coming up with. They want to be able to ask “pretty please” to the Republican majority before their suggestions get voted down and they vote for this piece of crap CR anyway. This is all they’re asking for. Nothing to stop Trump and Musk from running roughshod. Nothing to rein DOGE in. Nothing to reverse the damage DOGE already did. Just the opportunity to give some suggestions that they know will be ignored by the GOP in the end.

Democrat leadership is spineless.

      There’s probably stuff they could do, but not the filibuster. I mean, they could use the filibuster on every other thing in the senate, and they definitely should do that. I’m definitely not interested in making excuses for them.

      They definitely do have leverage that they’re not using.

        So stop.
