Someone tell the geriatric mean girls of The View how many votes it takes to pass a bill. Pretty sure it’s 60. Are there 60 republicans in the Senate? That would be a no.

🚨 BREAKING: Sen. Mike Lee is saying if the Senate GOP gets tough and enforces EXISTING Senate rules, the MAGA agenda can be passed with a simple majority of 51 votes "If we enforce the cloture rule, we can end the cloture abuse! [60 votes for cloture]" "Require them to debate. The MINUTE they stop debating...you can call the vote, a simple majority! We need to get BACK into that business." DO IT! NO EXCUSE! Mike Lee

🇺🇸 THE MYSTERIOUS FILIBUSTER! - As much as we talk about the filibuster, few people actually understand it. Under filibuster rules you don't need 60 votes to pass legislation. You need 60 votes to get to cloture, which means you can then vote on the legislation. Right now with the SAVE America Act we have 51 votes. We have enough votes to pass the legislation but we can't get to cloture because we can't get enough Democrats to cross the aisle to get to 60 votes. Of course Democrats don't want election integrity. We talk about the nuclear option, thinking that this means the Senate will vote to end the filibuster rule. That's not what it means. Actually achieving cloture to vote to end the filibuster rule would require a two-thirds Senate vote. And that's impossible. What is possible is when you bring up the SAVE America Act for a cloture vote and you only get 51 out of the 60 required, a senator can then raise a point of order saying that "cloture on this bill should only need a simple majority." The chair would rule against him, backed up by the parliamentarian. That senator can then appeal and the question becomes, "shall the decision of the chair stand?" The Senate then votes on that appeal and if 51 senators vote to overrule the chair then the vote on the SAVE America Act can take place. Yes this is a tortured way of doing things but that's "the nuclear option." Harry Reid did it in 2013 on federal judges and Mitch McConnell did it in 2017 on Supreme Court judges. But again the problem we have now is: do we have enough Senators to get to 51 to do the nuclear option? According to John Thune we don't. Thoughts? ⬇️

🚨 NOW: Sen. Mike Lee just said it PERFECTLY "When Senate Democrats can filibuster without paying the price...that is, without standing on the floor and speaking, knowing that when they stop speaking we can pass pending legislation with a simple majority...we relinquish far too much power to them. We should make them SPEAK!" 💯 Lee and Sen. Husted over night tried passing voter ID. It immediately failed because there was no talking filibuster, just the 60 vote Zombie Filibuster. THIS HAS TO CHANGE!

🇺🇸 A TACTICAL NUKE! - Can Republicans suspend the filibuster just to pass the SAVE Act? Here's how it would work: Start with the part almost nobody knows. Passing the SAVE Act takes 51 votes, and Republicans already have them. Collins became the fiftieth back in March, and 51 senators voted to advance it. The problem is getting to that vote at all. Before the Senate votes on a bill, 60 senators have to agree to stop debating it first. That step is called cloture. Republicans have 53. Democrats refuse, debate never ends, and a bill with majority support dies without anyone voting on it. The fight is not about passing it. It is about being allowed to try. Rewriting the 60 vote rule takes 67 senators. Nobody has that. But there is a side door. A Republican stands up and argues cloture on this bill should only need a simple majority. Whoever is running the floor rules against him. He appeals, and the Senate votes on one question: was the chair right? Fifty one senators saying no means he was not. They vote no to get to yes. Nothing is repealed. The 60 vote rule stays in the book while the Senate decides it no longer applies here. Here's the precedent: Harry Reid ran this exact play in 2013 so Democrats could confirm judges, deliberately leaving Supreme Court seats out. Four years later McConnell used Reid's own precedent to put them right back in. Do you think we could make this happen? ⬇️

Democrats voted to shut down the government over a dozen times. This is the Democrats' shutdown in every way. WATCH: RNC Senior Advisor Danielle Alvarez: "It is very simple; it takes 60 votes in the Senate to pass a budget."

🚨 JUST IN: Sen. Mike Lee is demanding the Senate GOP NUKE the Zombie Filibuster — this would let the SAVE Act pass with 50+1 votes, NOT 60 Nuking the Zombie Filibuster forces Democrat senators to actually DEBATE the bill until they can no longer stand — then 50+1 votes can be used to pass it "Senators aren't even required to speak, if we don't make them speak, the whole point of the filibuster is to extend and protect and prolong debate as far long as Senators want to, unless or until you can get 60 votes to bring debate to a close." "But it's a cheap excuse to say we're going to let them have the benefit of the filibuster without actually having to speak. So accept no imitation, accept no cheap excuses!" "Bottom line is, rather than simply celebrate, we've got to ramp up pressure. We've got to ramp up discussions everywhere about the SAVE Act until this thing is done." "Let's keep it going until the SAVE Act is passed and signed into law by President Trump!" 🇺🇸

🚨 GOP SENATORS ARE PUSHING TO NUKE THE FILIBUSTER and use JD VANCE to pass legislation To pass the SAVE America Act, Sen. Rick Scott just demanded the Senate GOP and Leader Thune get rid of the 60-vote filibuster and PASS IT 🔥 "We have to BLOW UP the filibuster! The filibuster was never supposed to stop a bill. It was supposed to stop debate." "The Democrats are using it to stop this bill. We need to blow up the filibuster and pass this with 50 Republican votes!" Think of it: only needing 50 votes and reliable JD. That means we can lose 3 of: Mitch McConnell, Thom Tillis, Susan Collins or Lisa Murkowski

The Senate MUST have 60 votes to pass a spending bill. The Republicans only have 54 votes. It is a FACT that the Democrats have shut down the government. Only the truth will stop the lies.

🚨 BREAKING: Senate Leader John Thune announces the votes ARE NOT THERE for a talking filibuster to pass the SAVE America Act — AND he doubts the ability to pass the bill through reconciliation, which would require only a simple majority Trump mentioned convincing the 4-5 holdouts so this can get done yesterday THUNE: "The votes aren't there for a talking filibuster, it's just a reality." On reconciliation: "Very, very difficult" and that "pieces" of the bill could be included — Thune tells Punchbowl A vote will likely still occur, but it needs 60 votes. This won't go over well. That's a fact.

Maryland Democrat Senator Angela Alsobrooks says it’s “intellectually dishonest” to say Democrats are the ones shutting down the government to defund law enforcement. Alsobrooks knows the Senate needs 60 votes to pass a funding bill — she's just lying to you.

🚨 BOOM: Sen. Mike Lee just CORRECTED John Thune claiming the talking filibuster will not work for the SAVE America Act THUNE: "Talking filibuster hasn't been used in a century!" LEE: "The talking filibuster *was* used effectively to break the weeks-long filibuster mounted against the Civil Rights Act of 1964." NO MORE EXCUSES! "The Senate closed a staggering 30-vote cloture deficit in 1964. After many weeks of fighting a losing battle, filibustering senators predictably started to lose their resolve to hold up the bill indefinitely, especially when they realized how hard they’d have to work to keep the effort alive." "All we need is a majority leader willing to announce that we’re getting on the bill and that we will continue to debate it until it passes—all with the understanding that if filibustering senators fail to show up to debate it, we can “call the question” and pass it with a simple majority." 💯
