Despite the fact that Republicans could have ended it at any point by bypassing the filibuster with 51 votes? Or does he ignore that?

And that’s why he has to wear a patch and can’t have an artificial eye

If you read to the end of that thread you’ll see that’s not my argument.

Aca subsidies from IRA made permanent
No rescissions (power of the purse)
Medicaid

I mean, originally.

Almost seems like a day ending in y on BlueSky (I do not think it’s deserved, just an observation).

Again, no guarantees, but the main point is this: It is not at all clear to me that it is “smart” to repeat the thing that didn’t work.

…it’s nor necessarily impossible to do something novel there. They could at least attempt something that hasn’t been proven not to work yet.

For example, the GOP handed themselves a private right of action to sue the gov and get money for being investigated as insurrectionists. Creative!

Yeah, it is a problem when your negotiating partner breaks every agreement you make! Which is why they also, initially, claimed they were going to demand some method to prevent rescission (breaking the spending agreement) as part of any deal. Obviously that also got tossed. But…

This does not spark joy

That seems pretty dysfunctional if you want a unified opposition party that can execute strategy, but what do I know.
