The debate about the Senate filibuster is ongoing, but it’s looking increasingly like it’s going to remain part of the U.S. Senate’s rules, especially after Democrat Sen. Kyrsten Sinema’s op-ed in the Washington Post:

Charles C.W. Cooke pointed out that now two Senate Dems are against eliminating the filibuster:

Obama bro Dan Pfeiffer didn’t like what he read — not one bit:

Other blue check libs aren’t fans of Sinema’s op-ed:

S**t is getting real!
Weird how you and dems didn't have this POV during the Trump years when they were in the minority and wore the filibuster out, using it over 350 times to block damn near everything repubs tried to pass. Take a seat you useless hack. https://t.co/BhE9cT0Drw
