Episode description
Milly, Alise, and Amanda are back to figure out why Mitch McConnell is controlling the Senate even after his demotion last week. They break down the history and practical uses of some procedural moves that could allow Democrats to pass legislation: budget reconciliation and removing the filibuster. What are the merits of each approach, and the consequences for taking them? Finally, we make the case for why Democrats should end the filibuster and do it fast.
