Will the rethugs remove the filibuster to push their budget extension without a deal, and the likelyhood

[lostincalifornia]

that they won't extend the ACA subsidies or undo the Medicaid cuts?

The filibuster is practically gone anyway.

The only thing that would keep them from doing it is the thought that when the Democrats retake the Senate, they would pay the rethugs back, and benefit the American public with a simple majority and pass a very progressive agenda.

They are so filled with power lust I wouldn't be surprised the rethugs did it.

and if they did, it sure would provide a major midterm election issue on healthcare.

1. The "Nuclear option". I'm amazed that they didn't already do it

2. That would be good for us two ways:

1) it kills the filibuster so we don’t have to rely on Fetterman’s vote to do it when we retake the senate. Then, as long as we have 50 votes+VP, we can ram through whatever we want, and repeal whatever republicans pass beforehand.

2) it keeps the ACA cuts in place, and the suffering that will cause will increase our odds in the midterms

A perfect example of a win-win

3. A part of me says Hopefully. Shouldnt be a thing anyways...
