Corey booker held a 24 chat session instead of holding up actual legislation. Filibustering works, Dems just dont want to.
This bill is going through what is called "Reconciliation." Because it's a budget bill and the DNC have filibustered it, the GOP are using a simple majority to pass it back to the house to be voted on a second time after which the president can sign it into law.
Other examples of this in the past: The DNC almost used Reconciliation in 2010 to pass the ACA, but before that could happen they got independent Joe Leiberman to agree to concessions and pass it with a supermajority instead. The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 used Reconciliation. The Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 used Reconciliation.
