We need to keep the filibuster, while at the same time expose it for what it is--nothing more than the minority stopping the majority from getting what it wants. The senate needs to go back to the talking filibuster. Make the minority pay a price for obstruction by forcing them to talk nonstop. Seeing senators spouting nonsense for hours or even days will show the country who it is that is really shutting down the government. Most Americans have never seen a real filibuster. Force the Dems to be the face of this absurdity and shift the blame to them--for a change.
I literally wrote an article called 4 reasons not to watch the news. For one, the news has no benefit. It’s like gossip as someone commented. It gives you a perspective of how things may be going, but these things rarely ever impact your life. So if they don’t, why watch such news?
What you are describing isn't "news", it's gossip slop. I get that everyone wants to be more in the know than thou, but what's being chased down those rabbit holes is not useful.
“At a moment defined by questions—about AI, about artificial wombs, about drone warfare—why is it, she asks, that “all anyone can talk about is . . . Zionism?””

It’s because there’s a group of people who support Israel who try to destroy your life if you disagree with them and so the people they are defaming as Holocaust Deniers are talking about how they have found themselves under siege at the hands of deranged fruitcake midwits.
If the senate can’t pass voter ID that 80% of all voters support, then we don’t have a real democracy. The next time democrats take power, they will nuke the filibuster. Then they will pass mass amnesty, court packing, and DC/PR statehood so that they never lose again.

We spend so much time watching the news and get “informed” of gossip with no tangible value…but we think this is good: https://unorthodoxy.substack.com/p/4-reasons-to-stop-watching-news-and
Don’t watch the news. It’s not good for you.

Hey!
Some of us kinda like gossip slop.
I know, it's fun, but still....

Perhaps. But just four years ago they had the trifecta, tried to pass these things, and couldn't, all because the filibuster remained.
That was then.
This is now.
Only because of Manchin and Synema, who have since been chased out by leftist struggle sessions.
I like to think other senators agreed with them but chose to let them take the heat. But if you told me I can't prove that, you'd be correct.
You are correct you can't prove it and we don't want to take the chance.
The News Avoiders would be a good name for MSNBC and CNN since all they do is horse poop propaganda.
Best comment in a long time!
