I asked Sen. Mike Lee if there are any historical examples of the Senate using a “talking filibuster” to pass bills that didn’t have the votes for cloture. He cites the 1964 civil rights act but then concedes it did get cloture. And says SAVE can get 60. “Yes. I believe we can get there.” WATCH:

Bizarre moment at the Michigan Senate debate after Haley Stevens says “the filibuster must go.” She adds that Democrats “should use the filibuster to not allow the big ugly bill to pass that increased our debt.” That is not how the filibuster works. And OBBB was already exempt from 60 votes.
WATCH: Thune tells me Republicans intend to respect the parliamentarian on which parts of the SAVE America Act are eligible for a simple-majority bill. “Obviously the parliamentarian has a role to play in that process. And in the past, we have respected it. And I would expect we would do that.”
Bill Cassidy, conceding defeat, throws shade at Donald Trump: “When you participate in democracy, sometimes it doesn’t turn out the way you want it to. But you don’t pout. You don’t whine. You don’t claim the election was stolen.” His crowd immediately gets the reference.
Trump says Susan Collins needs to win re-election in Maine to protect his agenda: “I hope she wins. Because we have to. She’s a good person, actually. But we have to win. We have to keep the majority. Otherwise all of the things that we’ve done are going to go down the tubes.”
Graham Platner and Janet Mills offer their take on the Democratic Party and respond to criticisms from the base.
Trump: “We’re not supposed to be seduced that way, right? But I am. When somebody’s nice to me, I love that person. Even if they’re bad people. I couldn’t care less, I’ll fight to the end for them.”
POD FORCE ONE: The anti-weaponization fund, have you dropped that? TRUMP: No. A court ruled against it. But just so you understand, these are people that’ve been decimated. … I’m very proud to have given them pardons. And I think they should reimbursed for a crooked government.

Everyday Doug Ford tells us he’s doing a great job. The latest jobs numbers tell a different story. A 7.6% unemployment rate is the highest in a decade (excl. the pandemic) BC,QC and AB jobs are going up. ON jobs are going down. Doug Ford is not doing a good job on jobs.

Republicans in Washington have worked day and night to raise costs for families like mine. Now they're doubling down, threatening even deeper cuts to Medicaid, so they can pay for their war and continue handing out tax breaks to billionaires. - Theresa Luoni @unrigoureconomy.bsky.social
Gambling reform is a vitally important area of public policy that is seized up because both major parties are significant beneficiaries of the gambling industry and are effectively running a protection racket for it.
2️⃣ Professor @kevinclimate.bsky.social: we're using up the carbon budget for staying under 2°C at 0.7% every single month, with a small but very real risk we could reach a catastrophic 4°C by 2100. There are huge benefits for the majority if we address climate change. www.nebriefing.org/take-action
