We knew that Republicans, who repeatedly flouted the rules and norms, would change the rules in a nanosecond if it blocked any significant part of their agenda. We will soon see if John Thunes long-standing commitment and his word mean anything. Count me a skeptic.

Thune and his colleagues, of course, have piously pledged over and over that they will never touch the filibuster, something they used over and over when Biden was president. Democrats who blocked change, including Manchin and Sinema, took that as gospel. Some of us knew better. 2

Instead of suggesting that he and Senate Republicans were talking with Senate Democrats to find a way out of this mess, John Thune gave Chuck Schumer the middle finger. Maybe that is a negotiating tactic. More likely, Thune, under Trump pressure, is laying the stage to blow up the filibuster. 1

@pkrugman.bsky.social is right, as usual. And this is why Senate Democrats were spot on by refusing to agree to the cruel Republican budget. It is now crystal clear who is responsible for starving Americans, and taking away their healthcare: Thune, Johnson, Trump.

Republicans are taking away health care from 15 million Americans.
They are doubling premiums for 20 million.
Now, they are illegally withholding emergency SNAP funding that keeps millions of children from going hungry.
All so they can give $1 trillion in tax breaks to the 1%.
