Love it or hate it, the existence of the filibuster has been extremely consequential this year in restricting GOP’s legislative options and forcing them to rely on reconciliation + exec power for their actual whole agenda.
(This CR was not their agenda. It’s keeping the lights on.)

It's funny thinking back to the argument that Dems couldn't get rid of the filibuster when they were in power because they'd miss it once the GOP was in power.

They did the Laken Riley Act. Didn’t follow it up with anything. They had nothing. Because of the filibuster, nobody bothered to cook up a legislative agenda.
