Word today that the reason Biden's Cabinet noms are moving so slowly is bc McConnell is gumming up the works over this filibuster deal he wants Schumer to cut
Mitch won't agree to an organizing res w/o it
Chuck won't do it (he shouldn't)
W/o it GOP still tech run the Committees

McConnell's doing it again..
It's not clear what will break this stalemate
But the pressure on both parties is growing
Pelosi told donors last night that she wants to pass relief in 2 wks using budget reconciliation
But she (America) has to wait bc Mitch won't budge

And we all know that the second GOP take power back if Mitch wants to, he'll pop that filibuster sky high
Schumer knows it too
But Manchin (him again), Tester & Sinema want to keep it
Harris & 26 other Dems signed a ltr in '17 saying keep it
While AOC & even Obama say dump it

3 things could happen:
-Mitch & Chuck settle for a verbal agmnt: Schumer keeps filibuster as long as McConnell is 'reasonable' with Biden's agenda
-Schumer just blows it up, ends the stalemate
-Bipartisan gp force the 2 into a deal
We shall see!
