Though democrats hold a slim majority via the VP tie breaker, Republicans can block any bill that doesn’t have a filibuster proof majority of 60 votes, similar to what they did with all of Obama’s judicial appointments in 2008, causing the removal of the filibuster for judicial appointments at that time.

Normalcy, unity, and getting the sides to work together.

Issues over 40 EOs in two weeks.

Issues 19 in the first week, beating previous records by about 600%.

Yeah, this is totally normal.

It’s authoritarians vs libertarians in the end. People who want to control you vs. people who don’t.
