Americans will start seeing stimulus checks in their bank accounts as early as this weekend, White House press secretary Jen Psaki says https://t.co/2znGR63yiD

Buy TSLA

Also getting my pets some veterinary services I've been putting off. My dog has an enamel defect that was identified last year that I need to get taken care of. Expensive but she's worth it >_<

A historic accomplishment.

Biden on track to be the best president of the 21st century.

Exceptionally low bar unfortunately. We've had Bush, who will almost certainly fall in the bottom third of presidents, Trump, who will be lucky if he doesn't end up dead last, and Obama, who was a milk toast middle 50th percentile.

If he pushes for filibuster reform that'll be incredibly significant, and if he then uses that to push through meaningful legislation that'll cement him at the top.

Time will tell.

Saweet.

Got that right.

Al Franken penned an op-ed last month calling for reform without eliminating it, and tbh it seems fair. It used to be (prior to 1975) that the minority had to constantly have the votes to maintain a filibuster on the strength of numbers currently present in the chamber, and they changed it to requiring enough votes to end it on the number of members in the body, present or not.

Sounds good. Basically just which party can hold out longer without anybody leaving lol.

How many votes were needed to maintain the filibuster at the time? 40?

They went from 2/3 to 3/5.
