Then I guess there will be no more talk about ending the filibuster. No talk of needing to end it to cancel mail in ballots. No talk of ending it to try and pass voter ID, no talk to end it to keep fascist CRs passing with no obstruction. Sure, this was about the filibuster. Whatever helps Matthew Yglesias sleep at night.

Millions of Americans will lose affordable healthcare. But at least repukes will stop trying to hijack the government.
